Honda Cars India has now launched the much-awaited 2020 WR-V facelift with BS6 compliant engines and the prices for the same starts at Rs 8.50 lakh ex-showroom, Delhi. With this, the sub-4-metre crossover locks its horns with Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza and Hyundai Venue.
What's interesting is that Honda has decided to continue both BS6 petrol and diesel engine on the new 2020 WR-V and the prices get a slight hike when compared with the BS4 model. Honda's upcoming premium hatchback, Jazz will only get a 1.2L petrol engine. The top model of the Honda WR-V is priced at Rs 11 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi which is quite an edge over its predecessor.
Sharing more details about the engines then the oil burner makes 99 bhp on tap with a peak torque of 200 Nm. The engine gets mated to a 6-speed manual unit while the petrol gets a 5-speed manual stick shift. The 1.2L petrol makes 88 bhp with 110 Nm of peak torque. The ARAI certified mileage on the diesel is 23.7 km/l while on petrol it sticks to 16.5 km/l. We expected to see an automatic in either of the engines but Honda has ruled out on our expectations.
