Honda WR-V BS6 is a good cross hatchback, and with the recent facelift, it has become an even better package. Honda has made some changes in the styling of the WR-V and plonked in BS6 engines too. That said, the market is full of compact SUVs, and every SUV claims to be excelling over others. Does that mean the WR-V cross should be ignored? Not really - we tell you five reasons to buy the Honda WR-V BS6 over other Compact SUVs.
Spacious Cabin
Honda WR-V is a spacious and convenient compact SUV, offering more cabin space than most other compact SUVs. The rear seat comfort is excellent and also provides good legroom, knee room and headroom. Honda also offers many convenient areas like cup holders and mobile holders. The driver also gets a separate can holder in front of the AC vent, which cools the bottle/can. The cabin is also wide enough to seat three adults abreast at the rear.
Most Fuel-efficient Diesel Engine
Honda WR-V draws power from a 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine which is now BS6 compliant. The engine produces 100 PS of power and 200 Nm of torque mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The engine delivers the highest fuel efficiency in the segment, 23.7 km/l. The Hyundai Venue 1.5-diesel returns 23.3 km/l, and other rivals like Nexon and XUV300 are in the range of 22 km/l and 20 km/l, respectively.

Feature Packed
Honda WR-V has always been a feature-packed car, and it offered some segment-first features when it was launched. Features like an electric sunroof, LED headlights, LED foglights, LED DRLs, LED taillights, and 16-inch alloy wheels are offered on the exterior. The interiors are feature-loaded, too; we have a push-button start, keyless entry and go, Digipad with Android Auto and Apple Car Play, touchpad Auto AC, steering mounted controls, cruise control, tilt and telescopic steering and much more.
Biggest Boot Space
Honda WR-V is not only the most spacious car in its segment, but it also offers the most enormous boot too. We have 363 litres of boot space which is the largest in its segment. WR-V can be the perfect family picnic companion as it offers excellent space and comfort. If we talk about the rivals, Maruti Brezza provides 328 litres of boot space, whereas Nexon offers 350 litres of boot space.

Value for Money
Honda WR-V is now only offered in two trim levels - SV and VX, further segregated into petrol and diesel engines. The Honda WR-V diesel is the cheapest, feature-loaded diesel compact SUV on the market right now. The top trim of the diesel, which is VX, is priced at Rs 10.99 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi. The WR-V VX is around Rs 90,000 cheaper than the Nexon diesel XZ+ (O) and Rs 39,000 cheaper than the Venue SX (O) diesel. This is one of the most important reasons you should buy the Honda WR-V over other Compact SUVs.
