Spotted: Honda BR-V Compact SUV Production Model
Highlights
Honda will first launch the BR-V compact SUV in Indonesia, which will then be followed by the car's introduction in India among other Asian markets.
The Indonesian model of the BR-V will employ the services of a 1.5-litre i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine that develops 118bhp and 145Nm of peak torque. Transmission options will include a new 6-speed manual and a CVT (continuously variable transmission). Compared to its design inspiration, the BR-V gets a comparatively more premium cabin. With that being said, the BR-V's interior looks similar to that of the City and gets a three-spoke steering wheel and a touchscreen entertainment system.
Other than the segment-leading cabin space, the list of Honda BR-V's features will include roof rails, new 16-inch alloy wheels, and A/C vents in the second row among other provisions. In terms of safety, the BR-V crossover will get airbags, ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution), Hill Start Assist (HSA), etc..
As far as the Honda BR-V for the Indian market is concerned, the crossover will be offered with 2 engine options, namely, a 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol, and a 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel. One must note, the diesel motor is the same as the one that does duty on the Honda City and the Honda Mobilio MPV.
Honda BR-V Specs:
1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol
Power: 120bhp
Torque: 145Nm
1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel
Power: 98.6bhp
Torque: 200Nm
Expected to be launched in India in 2016, the Honda BR-V will take on cars such as the Hyundai Creta, Renault Duster, and Mahindra Scorpio.
