Back in March 2020, Honda had shared details of the upcoming WR-V BS6 for the first time. The facelifted Jazz-based crossover has now started reaching dealerships and some new details have also emerged.

Honda will offer the WR-V BS6 in limited variants: SV and VX. It will come with both petrol and diesel engines. Honda is accepting bookings for a token amount of Rs 21,000. Dealership sources reveal the top-spec variant could cost Rs 13.5 lakh (on-road).

The WR-V BS6 will continue to be offered with the same set of engines: a 1.2-litre petrol producing 90PS/110Nm and a 1.5-litre diesel that puts out 100PS/200Nm. While the petrol engine will be offered with a 5-speed manual and the diesel with a 6-speed MT, the WR-V BS6 is likely to miss out on an AT gearbox as before.
