2020 Honda WR-V gets exterior and interior changes along with BSVI-compliant petrol and diesel engine options.

Honda WR-V was first launched in India in 2017, be it a potential sub-four-metre compact SUV for our country. The WR-V has never witnessed a great success as the Japanese brand had expected, given the ever-growing competition from the Maruti Vitara Brezza, Mahindra XUV300, Hyundai Venue or Tata Nexon. Not giving up on the vehicle, Honda is gearing up for 2020 BSVI-compliant version of the WR-V. Bookings for the 2020 Honda WR-V has commenced at a token amount of Rs 21,000. The launch of the 2020 WR-V is slated for later this month.
