March 16, 2017: Honda has finally launched its first sub-4-metre crossover, the WRV, in India at Rs 7.75 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi). The WR-V is based on the same platform as the Jazz, which is also shared with the City. It also shares its several body panels and mechanicals with the hatch – the 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol and the 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel motor. The WRV's petrol motor comes paired with a five-speed manual transmission, while the diesel offers a six-speed manual unit. Unlike the Jazz, it doesn't offer the CVT automatic option with its petrol engine. Honda WRV mileage figure is claimed to be 25.5kmpl for the diesel and 17.5kmpl for the petrol. The WRV's interior is similar to the Jazz's, but there are subtle differences in terms of features such as it gets the same 7.0-inch infotainment system (Digipad) that made its debut with the facelifted City, new central armrest, sunroof, cruise control and others. The Honda WRV has slightly larger dimensions and rides higher off the ground as well compared to the Jazz. The WRV is available in six colours with Premium Amber being an all-new one, and comes in just two variants (S and VX).

Distinctive – that’s the first word that comes to mind when you look at the WR-V. Honda has taken far too long to launch its first sub-4 metre crossover, but as we have come to discover, this isn’t just a Jazz with some styling tweaks. Honda Car India’s R&D division has developed the WRV for India and other emerging markets (including Brazil). India is the first country to produce the crossover and also the first market where it will be sold. Additionally, apart from an extensive design overhaul, it also gets mechanical updates like a new transmission for the petrol engine and a reworked suspension, not to mention, some premium features derived from the City. No doubt, the WR-V has a persona of its own, but is that reason enough to choose it over the Jazz or indeed, its rivals?

Is the WR-V worth considering over the Jazz? Yes. Apart from its distinctive styling, it gets some nice features, many of which, are shared with the Honda City. We expect and we’d accept a price premium of Rs 70,000-1 lakh over the Jazz, which is good value for the added kit.

Pay anything more than that and you’re only making your pockets lighter for the looks. Arguably, it also looks unique among its rivals like the Hyundai i20 Active, VW Cross Polo, Toyota Etios Cross or Urban Cross. However, given its expected pricing, it’s a hard sell when compared to more convincing crossovers like the Ford EcoSport or the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza.
