Nothing new in New Honda WR-V?

"It is waiting to take on more uneven roads. It is ready to jump into longer drives, after all there's cruise control ...............". This is what Honda says about its all-new WR-V and trust me nothing else can be said about it as there isn't much to say.

Little difference in this and the older version!

You can only tell that the look has been changed or modified a bit rest seems to be the same. Actually, there are very few new features like advanced Digipad 2.0 which seem to be worthless and we won't talk about it. Only the fabrication is different when it comes to the interior while the engine is the same as the pre-facelift model.

The whole modification has been solely dedicated to the exterior and how it looks.

Exterior

 Volkswagen Tiguan Facelift 

Honda WR-V has an aggressive front grille and LED eyes. Creases are more pronounced on the upper bumper and there are new LED projector headlights along with LED taillights. The last new thing is its 16-inch alloy wheels. While the petrol version gets 4-hole Berlina Black wheels, the diesel version gets 5-holes Shark Grey units. Rest of the exterior is the same as the older.

Engine

 

Apart from the updates of being BS-VI compliant, there is nothing new to offer here. Engines are identical to the previous one.

The 1.5 Litres i-DTEC diesel engine delivers 73 kW(100 ps) @ 3600 rpm with a mileage of 23.7 kmpl. This engine has a low-friction aluminium construction and is available in 6-speed MT model.

The 1.2 Litres i-VTEC petrol engine delivers 66 kW(90 ps) @ 6000 rpm with a mileage of 16.5 kmpl. The transmission of this engine is tuned to take on cars in a higher weight category.

Safety

 de-growth in Automobile 

WR-V comes with dual front SRS airbags, Brake Override System and other state-of-the-art safety features that are supposed to be in every car.

Price

The prices shown below are ex-showroom prices in Delhi.

WR-V Model	Petrol	Diesel

Competitors of 2020 WR-V

In its segment, it will face tough rivalry from compact SUVs like Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV300 and Ford EcoSport.

But really for Honda, 'facelift' means 'putting some makeup on the car and then re-launching it'.
