Honda came to India in 1998 and became an instant hit with the upper crust of the Indian middle class with the Honda City.
When everyone else was driving around in carbureted Maruti Esteems with negligible features, Honda offered the likes of the electronic rear view mirror adjustment. One of the biggest aspects of the BR-V that everyone keeps talking about is the fact that the BR-V is a seven seater SUV. So lets talk about seats, space and comfort levels first before we talk about design. For starters, the BR-V is genuinely spacious when it comes to comparing it with other cars of its category. All variants get black interiors with the top of the line versions getting a full leather pack which includes seats, side rests and a leather wrapped steering wheel and gear knobs.
Front seats are comfortable and have adequate comfort levels with good padding. But most owners might use the rear seats a lot more and in terms of legroom, the BR-V outclasses almost everything else. The middle row also gets a 60-40 split and a one touch folding setup which makes getting access to the last row very easy.the Honda BR-V comes with a diesel engine. And of course, like with all other compact SUVs in the market today, a petrol engine too. Both are 1.5-litre units that get a 6-speed manual gearbox ( with the petrol also getting a CVT gearbox and paddle shifters) . The diesel is a turbocharged four-cylinder unit makes 100PS of peak power and 200Nm of peak torque. The petrol is also a 4-cylinder i-VTEC four-cylinder unit that makes 119PS of peak power and 145Nm of peak torque.
