The interior of the 2019 Honda BR-V also experiences some minor changes.

Regards the mechanical specifications, the updated Honda BR-V remains unchanged. In the Indonesia market, it continues to keep under its hood a 1.5-litre  i-VTEC petrol motor which can deliver a maximum power of 120 PS and a peak torque of 145 Nm at  4,600 rpm. The transmission duties are undertaken by a 6-speed MT or CVT gearbox. In India, an optional 1.5-litre -DTEC diesel unit is also on the lineup. This engine is good for 100 PS at 3,600 rpm against 200 Nm at 1,750 rpm. It currently conforms to the BS-IV and will soon be upgraded to comply with the upcoming BS-VI emission standards.

The current-gen Honda BR-V was first launched in India back in May 2016. Not having recorded great success like the Honda Amaze or the Honda City, the Honda BR-V has witnessed a remarkable decline in annual sales by 42% Y-o-Y to 7,140 units, which means that the monthly sales figure of the SUV is only 595 units, a low number in comparison with its competitors.
