Honda WR-V India Launch: Highlights

Honda WRV has been launched in India at Rs. 7.75 lakh. While the car was first revealed in Brazil at the Sao Paulo Auto Show, India is now the first country to receive it. It must be noted the carmaker opened order books for the WR-V earlier this month. Honda's all-new subcompact SUV, essentially crossover version of the Honda Jazz, shares the platform with the premium hatchback. And as noted in our Honda WR-V review, it also borrows a myriad of exterior and interior elements with the Jazz. Sporting an SUV-esque styling coupled with a crossover profile, the Honda WR-V faces competition from not just the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Ford Ecosport but also cars such as the Toyota Etios Cross, Fiat Avventura, and Hyundai i20 Active.
