JAMMU, Mar 16: Hillview Honda, Sidhra today introduced its much-anticipated new model “Honda WR-V”, here today.
Honda WR-V features a sporty and sophisticated exterior design, high quality spacious interiors with advanced equipment, top of the class fuel efficiency, powerful performance and full range of safety features.
The sub-four meter WR-V is based on the Jazz platform but is taller and has a better ground clearance to tackle Indian roads. On the outside, the car features a buff front which seeks to give it a character of its own. Coupled with LED DRLs, the WR-V’s face has a familiar Honda appearance while still giving glimpses of uniqueness. Roof rails are a good addition while all-new tailgate and bumper at the rear appear distinct.
On the inside, the WR-V gets almost as many features as was seen in the Honda City 2017. While the top-end gets a sunroof, there is also a seven-inch infotainment screen seen in the new Honda City+, an HDMI slot, two USB ports and MirrorLink connectivity.
Dual airbags and ABS with EBD are standard while the higher variants will also get cruise control and push button start.
As for the engine options, the WR-V is offered in 1.2-litre petrol same as Jazz, which produces 89 bhp of power and has a five-speed manual transmission.
A six-speed manual 1.5-litre diesel engine producing 99 bhp of power is also on offer and it claims to have a mileage of 25.5 kilometers to every litre. There are no plans of an automatic option yet.
The WR-V comes in six exterior colours and two interior tones. Honda is also offering a three-year unlimited kilometres warranty which can be extended to five years.
Speaking on the occasion, Ravish Trehan, Managing Director, Hillview Honda said, “The WR-V is an all-new premium model in the Honda family and features the brand’s global DNA. Based on Honda’s most successful platform world-wide, WR-V has the best of Honda technology and design. India is the first country to manufacture and launch the Honda WR-V in the world which is testimony to Honda Motor Company’s commitment to the Indian market.”
