Honda WR-V 2020-2023

The Honda WR-V is a compact SUV which means it is based under the 4-mt length mark. But unlike the rivals, WR-V offers tons of interior space and practical storage for comfortable driving. The large dimensions of the car help provide an airy cabin feel on the inside. On the outside, thin body pillars and wide glass areas help to provide more visibility and better drivability. The cabin can easily accommodate 5 passengers. While the WR-V might not compete with the compact SUVs but with 188 mm of ground clearance it can surely take on the bad patches of roads easily.  Overall, WR-V offers a lot according to its pricing. 

Honda offers the WR-V with two various engine options and three different gearbox options. The 1.2-Lt, the i-VTEC petrol engine is a gem of an engine which has already proved its reliability and abuse friendly-nature globally. The Jazz-sourced petrol engine makes 90 hp of power and 110 Nm of peak torque. It uses a 5-speed manual gearbox. The petrol WR-V can achieve an ARAI-claimed 16.5 kmpl of fuel economy.
Honda also offers the City sedan-sourced 1.5-Lt, i-DTEC, turbo-diesel which produces a healthy 100 hp of peak power and 200 Nm of peak torque. Honda provides a 6-speed manual gearbox option for this engine. The diesel WR-V can attain an ARAI-claimed 23.7 kmpl of fuel economy. Honda only offers WR-V with manual transmission and there is no automatic on offer. It is a huge drawback for people looking to buy a crossover with an automatic gearbox. If you are looking for crunching more miles on the highway and want a good fuel economy then it is the diesel engine that will do the justice.

The ABS, EBD and two airbags are standard fitments on the WR-V by Honda.
