Honda BR-V User Reviews

The car is only 8 months old. It was giving very low mileage i.e 8-9 km initially for which I was askeed to wait for till the car runs some thousand kilometers. After about 5 thousand km it has improved a bit but not at all near the company’s claim of 15km. It has started giving me the battery problem. Within an hour of parking the battery gets fully dead and not getting started making me stranded on road for long as there is no warranty period help available from the company.This has happened three times in the last two months. I really regret to shift my choice from Maruti Suzuki (which I was using for the last 30years with different models without any serious problem on any front) to Honda. After sale service people are yet to attend to such serious problem this time even after three days of complaint. Anyone listening from Honda reputation people may please get the matter resolved on priority before I take the matter to consumer court.

Thanking you Poonam Khanna

This car is valu for money and honda cars are good for resale value. The riding experience is too good and very smooth. The car looks mascular and stylish. This car is seven seater.

Justifies its cost ... infotainment system is good ... spacious car with comforty seats ... powerful ac ... sporty headlams ... strongly recomended heavily ... driven the car for a few hundred kilometers and still going .... no extra modification needed ... suitable for all purposes and specially for road trips

Exterior The exterior styling even though many people at first sight view it as the Mobilio, i feel that it has a more Jazz based look. the side detailing could have been slightly changed but it is not a big deal as the front facade and the rear looks gorgeous.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Space: It is the perfect vehicle if you are looking for space and luggage room in this segment, its big on legroom and headroom in the second row, and comfortable space in the third row as well, not to forget the boot which can hold three 25 Kilo suit cases when all three rows are up.

Features: Even though Honda has given this alot of features compared to the mobilio, i still feel they did not do enough as this segment in the market has higher features like 6 air bags, back lit buttons,reverse camera/parking sensors and touchscreen Infotainment system.

Comfort: I drove the vehicle for around 500 Kms without a break, Trust me you do not feel tired at all, the suspension and the smoothness of the vehicle is out of this world. the seats though could have a little extra padding by the thighs and back.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine performance is very good so far, will update once the vehicle is used to being driven more, it gave me 15.5 km/l on the highway (90-100 km/hr on 6th gear) and dropped to 11.2 km/l in the city. The gear box is a little hard, I guess it because it a new vehicle.

Ride Quality & Handling Brilliant.

Final Words This is a very ideal car in this budget for a guy who wants a compact SUV/ Crossover, looks amazing and handles like a sedan, it is complete when you fit a good touchscreen media interface and reverse camera.

Areas of improvement A bigger tyre size might give the car beefier looks and 50% off roading capacity.

Perfect 7 seater with practical usage. Honda Diesel engine is awsome. Last row is best available and entry and exit is best possible in market. Steering wheel is smooth and engine is too good. I have diesel and believe me No noise even when car is fully loaded. Carried my 7 ppl family with lot of luggage in boot and on roof carrier on Hills wih ease. Absolutely good family car.....

I have purchsed new BR V VX Petrol top model. Car is family car but main disadvantage which is very risky also that poor performance of engine. I have drive about 1700km. With four family members and three bags of 35 kg weigt on pune kolhapur express highway. It was ver bad experince that BRV is having poor perfotmance with Ac . It does not take pickup after sudden breaking. Also average milage with ac on express highway with speed 80-85km which is now a days very essential on such good road express highway , milage is 13.2km. However company claims 15.4km. Thoes who want to drive such car with 90 and above speed and expecting good milage with good pickup then BRV is not suitable.

Exterior Good looking. Everything which is required is present. Beautifully integrated DRLs, projector lamps and indicators. Stylish front and rear. Side, though like mobilio, not looking bad. Depends on personal liking. I liked it. Looks of sedan and heart of SUV (not pure SUV though).

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) All required features available. good and practical space. Touch screen and reverse camera can be added so not a problem. Only  features I miss are HSA and cruise control. Comfortable seats and all features within easy reach. All three rows are having good leg and head space.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Till now good engine performance. Very smooth and without any noise. Good punch. Good fuel economy for a seven seater vehicle with so much of ground clearance. smooth, noiseless gearbox. 

Ride Quality & Handling Very comfortable ride quality, though on a stiffer side. Handling is good and enjoyable. Even easy to handle in traffic and markets in spite of being long. 

Final Words A very reliable and good looking vehicle.

Areas of improvement Hill start assist and cruise control should have been provided. Option of all wheel drive should be there to make it a real SUV having best of segment ground clearance.

Beautiful in looks, good interiors, smooth drivability.quality of interior plastic, no eye for details in fitments.

Buying and riding experience is too good. It's has a nice look both interior and exterior. I am loving it. This is my 4th car and it's the best of all. I am planning to use it at least for the next 5 plus years. Thank you Honda!

Good or Prons point.

A 7-seater SUV, unlike its direct competitors. Front & rear styling is nice.

Spacious, practical interiors. Excellent legroom and headroom in the 1st and 2nd rows.

Petrol- Good.

Ride quality- Good and Handling Sterring Smooth.

Overall car handling is good only missing item is Gear shifting in 3rd, 4th Gear.

Equipment includes projector headlamps + LED pilot lamps, leather upholstery, keyless entry & go, roof-mounted rear air-con, paddle shifters etc.

What you won't: Gear shifiting is the main problem in the Honda BRV. After complaining to Honda Multiple time, Honda team just depend on service center but could not make effort to solve issue.

As compare to Maruti, Honda gear has practical problem with realted to the gear Smoothness. Honda Service center try to repair 3 time and still same issue. This is very risky to the customer who is driving vehicle.

Design- Not Great.

Interior- Ordinary.

Cabin Space- Small.

3rd-row- Kid or Your baggage.

Poor visibility- Front Side.
