Highlights

  • Honda sold 3,266 units of the WR-V in April 2017
  • It's been the second bestselling car for Honda for the past 2 months
  • The Honda WR-V competes with the Vitara Brezza, Ford EcoSport

Honda launched the WR-V in March this year and within a month itself the company managed to sell over 3,800 units of the crossover. The WR-V has certainly been wowing the people as Honda announced that the company has received 12,000 bookings for the car already. In fact in April too the company managed to sell more than 3,000 units second only to the City which was the company’s bestselling product. While we’ve already told you about Honda’s growth in April, the WR-V is contributing significantly to this kitty.

We have spoken a lot about the car in our review and also when we compared the car with the segment leader – the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. The Honda WRV might not be an SUV like the Vitara Brezza but it's is still the longest in its class right beside the Ford EcoSport. The other big take away from this car is the sheer number of features on offer and the very spacious cabin.

The WRV comes in both petrol and diesel guise powered by a 1.2 litre i-VTEC and a 1.5 litre i-DTEC engine.
