WRV is one of the best Crossovers in the market.
WRV is one of the best Crossovers in the market.
Let me start with what led me to a WRV. I previously owned an Honda City and VW Vento. I sold my City and bought a Honda BRV and was on a lookout for replacing my Vento as well. I needed something that gave me a decent mileage; a higher seating position than my Vento; spacious interiors and safe reliable vehicle. I test drove Ford Eco sport; Hyundai I20; Maruti Brezza and Honda WRV. I finally went for Honda WRV for the following reasons. WRV gets an edge over the competition in terms of 2nd row space. Leg room and width is phenomenal. Mileage is at par with the competition which stands at 25-26kmpl for the diesel variant. Maneuverability is better compared to all.Accurate turns and smaller turning radius is a big help in cities like Pune where I live. Only closest competitor for the above was Brezza. While the top end WRV does get a lot of goodies like sunroof; touch screen infotainment; center console armrest, I went for an Alive edition as my car was mostly chauffer driven and meant for travel for my parents who don't play with that stuff much. The Alive edition though comes with rear view parking camera and leather trim, so that something I love too. When compared these features with the competition, WRV is very cost effective and closest one is Hyundai I20. Helped me to stick around my budget of 10L with just the features that I needed. Talking about seating comfort, the I must agree that Ford gives the best experience in terms of back and cushion support, but WRV clearly gives better support in 2nd row. Being a diesel engine, the WRV performs much better at higher speeds than lower gear ratios. For maximum city drives, I20 would be better IMO. Also, Honda engines are well known for their longevity and reliability. For a more better performance, one can opt for the legendary I-VTEC. The stick shifting is easy on and smooth on WRV and at par with the competition. The ground clearance is also adequate and the over designed speed breakers in Pune couldn't touch my cars underbody as was the case with Vento. Even Ford does better in this case. The Boot space is humongous compared to all the rivals. Others give you nothing compared to WRV. Trust me thats a huge scoring point. Taking about sales experience and my first free servicing, Deccan Honda Pune gave me decent discounts while buying WRV and after sales support has also been prompt in helping me add some aftermarket accessories. The exteriors is an perception but I fell in love with the design compared to the box shaped cars in the competition. Adding the exterior kit makes it look even more better and bulkier. Though I would term WRV as more of an crossover than a regular compact SUV. Will list some cons for WRV. The Interiors or dashboard could have been much better on variant below top end. Touch screen infotainment system can be expected for a price tag of 10L. Cabin noise is evident at lower gear ratios. Armrest is missing for both driver and passenger, which is very helpful for long drives. Top end though provides a driver armrest. To conclude, the WRV ticked the right boxes based on my needs and I am very happy Honda customer - AGAIN!!
