Honda Cars India announced the facelift of the WR-V last month and it was scheduled to get launched in this timeline. But as the lockdown was announced, all the launches postponed and WR-V facelift launch was also delayed. A new set of spied images have surfaced online of the 2020 Honda WR-V facelift parked in the dealership's stockyard.

The 2020 Honda WR-V facelift will come with a host of new changes and will help to garner more sales for the brand. If we talk about the exterior changes first, then it has got a new bigger grille with chrome surroundings, new LED projector headlights with DRLs, LED fog lights and updated bumper as well. The front chrome slab now merges into the headlights giving it a bolder stance than before.
Coming to the side, nothing has changed except the dual-tone alloy wheels which have been tweaked a little for the facelift. The WR-V still gets black body cladding to uplift the crossover form factor. The rear gets new LED taillights which have a blacked-out garnish on the edges and updated bumper with faux skid plate as well.
Coming to the interiors, then there aren't a lot of changes made to the interiors. The WR-V has been a featured-packed car since its launch and the updated car carries feature like a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple Car Play, auto AC with touch panel, electric sunroof, keyless entry, push-button start, cruise control, 3-pot instrument cluster, driver side cup holder and a lot of other features too. However, Honda hasn't ditched the touchscreen panel for climate control as it is still present in the facelift. We will not get the AC touch panel in the 2020 Honda City.
Coming to the engine options of the 2020 Honda WR-V facelift, it comes with 1.2-litre i-Vtec petrol and 1.5-litre i-Dtec diesel engines. Both the engines are BS6-compliant and have been carried over from the Honda Amaze. The petrol produces 88 PS and 110 Nm of torque where the diesel churns out 100 PS of power. The petrol engine is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and the diesel comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox. However, we don't have a clue whether the WR-V will get an automatic gearbox option or not.

The WR-V will take on the likes of Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Ford Ecosport, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV300 and other upcoming cars like Toyota Urban Cruiser, Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite.
