Honda WR-V India Launch Date Announced

Honda India recently launched the much-awaited 2017 Honda City and received an overwhelming response for the sedan. 


Now, the company is gearing up to launch the WR-V on March 16


On the design front, the company has worked hard to keep the styling distinctive; the WR-V is a hatchback crossover derived from the Jazz. Overall, the styling is fresh with a high bonnet line, roof rails, and plastic cladding, giving it a rugged appearance.

The Honda WR-V will carry the same engines as seen in the Honda Jazz and it will be powered by a 1.2 litre petrol and a 1.5 litre turbocharged diesel engine. The power and torque figures in the WR-V are expected to remain same at 87 hp and 110 Nm for the petrol variants, while the diesel trims will deliver 100 hp and 200 Nm. The petrol engine will come with a 5-speed manual transmission and a CVT (Continuously variable transmission) might be on the cards. The diesel variants will only have a 6-speed manual transmission.


Some standout features to look out for on the WR-V are the touch screen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and climate control air conditioning.

The Honda WR-V is expected to be priced between Rs 7 lakh and Rs 10.5 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi and will compete with the likes of Ford EcoSport, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Hyundai i20 Active, Mahindra TUV300 and Toyota Etios Cross in its segment.
