Honda WR-V Right Front Three Quarter

The market share of the compact SUV segment has drastically increased and is growing exponentially. Hence, every manufacturer wants to have a vehicle in this space. Honda filled this space by offering the WR-V, based on the Jazz hatchback. Sure, the WR-V isn't really an SUV but a jacked/beefed up crossover to give an SUV-like experience. Since its launch in 2017, it has turned out to be a strong player for the carmaker, and now its BS6 version continues to defend this game in 2020. Here are the top five things you will appreciate about the car and the two that you won't.

This is the latest iteration of Honda's WR-V with BS6 updates and changes, both, on the inside and outside. The WR-V brand was introduced in India back in 2017. It was designed and developed to cater to the demands of Indian customers. And it's no secret that it's based on the Jazz hatchback. In fact, it was meant to better its proposition with a crossover styling. Does it continue to do that well? We find out.

If there is a hatchback-based crossover out there that shrieks ‘practically sufficient’, it’s the WR-V from Honda. On sale since March 2017, this mini crossover is still a newcomer in its segment which includes cars like the Hyundai i20 Active and the Toyota Etios Cross. But unlike all its rivals that are more or less the same as the hatchbacks they are based on, the WR-V is a legitimate crossover, one that’s fairly different from the Jazz. It bucks the trend with a whole new beefed up look, some high-end features and updated mechanicals over the Jazz.
