Honda Cars India has launched the facelifted WR-V, with prices starting from Rs 8.50 lakh. The facelifted WR-V is offered in two variants: SV and VX, and comes with two BS6-compliant engine options. Here’s the detailed variant-wise price list:

Honda has streamlined the variants of the WR-V. The base-spec S MT and mid-spec diesel-only V MT have been axed. In its place comes a new entry-level SV variant. The most affordable variant, the SV petrol, now costs Rs 35,000 more than the previous base-spec variant. Meanwhile, the top-spec VX variant now costs Rs 65,000 more depending on the engine. 

The facelifted WR-V shares its silhouette with the older model. However, it gets plenty of new elements to give it a new lease of life. The front end features a revised grille flanked by a pair of new LED projector headlamps. Diesel variants also get redesigned 16-inch alloy wheels, while the tail lamps now get LED elements. 

Apart from new upholstery, the facelifted WR-V’s cabin is similar to the older model.

Notable features include a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, climate control, cruise control, a sunroof, a multi-info display, steering-mounted audio controls and keyless entry with push button start. Safety features include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors with a camera. Honda has added more features to the base-spec variant to make it more appealing, including a touchscreen infotainment system.  

Honda has retained the 1.2-litre petrol engine and 1.5-litre diesel motor, albeit with BS6 upgrades. The diesel engine utilises a diesel particulate filter for cleaner emissions. Power figures remain unchanged at 90PS/110Nm for the petrol engine while the diesel motor puts out 100PS/200Nm. Just like before, the petrol WR-V is offered with a 5-speed manual while the diesel engine comes with a 6-speed manual. In terms of fuel efficiency, the petrol variant returns 16.5kmpl while the diesel model has a claimed fuel efficiency figure of 23.7kmpl. 

The WR-V has been a decent performer for Honda in terms of sales. Honda believes the upgrades will help it give the likes of the Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Ford EcoSport and Mahindra XUV300 a better run for their money.
