The new-generation Honda BR-V has broken cover in Indonesia which was one of the key markets for the previous-gen BR-V. Now we all remember the Honda BR-V as a slightly premium offering than the Ertiga or even the Honda Mobolio and in the MPV market it then bridged the gap between the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Toyota Innova Crysta. Now the model may not have had a glorious run in our market, but it performed pretty well globally with over 2.55 lakh units being sold in six years. The new-generation Honda BR-V too is expected have a similar positioning but we don't have any clarity on when it will come to our shores. Here's everything you need to know about the new-gen Honda BR-V.

  2. The all-new Honda BR-V looks identical to the concept version retaining most of the lines and design elements. The upright front design offers a butch feel to the SUV with the massive grille and a chunky chrome bar in the centre with the big 'H.'
  3. The new BR-V also gets full-LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs, while the bumper houses round fog lamps and a faux skid plate finished in brush aluminium.
  4. The profile looks simple and a tad reminiscent of the older BR-V too. The 16-inch machine-cut alloy wheels stand out, so does the massive glasshouse area and roof rails. The nearly flat shoulder-line continues to till the rear meeting up with the wraparound LED combination taillights.
