As images suggest, the model seen is the VX trim, which is supposed to be the top end variant of the BR-V. Features seen on this model include projector headlamps, fog lamps, LED DRLs, 16 inch alloy wheels, bumper cladding at the front as well as the rear, an integrated spoiler, a rear wiper and roof rails.
Powering this top of the line BR-V is a diesel engine, as seen on the image that reads i-DTEC. This fact confirms that the BR-V indeed receives a diesel heart. The familiar 1.5 litre iDTEC engine, already employed in the Jazz and City, will produce 100 PS of power and 200 Nm of torque. The 1.5 litre petrol mill sourced from the Honda city is also expected to arrive with the BR-V. Transmission duties on the BR-V have not been revealed as yet but we can expect a 6 speed manual gearbox for both the engines while the petrol variant is likely to optionally receive a CVT .
The Honda BR-V made its debut in Indonesia last year while it was unveiled in India at the 2016 Auto Expo held in Delhi earlier this year. The BR-V recently scored a 5 star rating at the ASEAN NCAP crash test. The crossover will be produced at Honda’s Tapukara plant in Rajasthan. Stay tuned as we get you more details of the Honda BR-V soon.
