2020 Honda WR-V Facelift Launched In India; Prices Start At Rs. 8.50 Lakh

The 2020 Honda WR-V facelift has been launched in India with prices starting at Rs. 8.50 lakh, going up to Rs. 10.99 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom Delhi). The updated version of the crossover was initially slated for launch in April this year but the Coronavirus pandemic delayed the proceedings. Nevertheless, the BS6 compliant version of the WR-V is here and comes with refreshed styling, new features and updated petrol and diesel engines under the bonnet. The new WR-V facelift will be offered in only two variants - SV and VX - on both engines, which means more feature-packed options for the customer.
