The BR-V petrol returns a mileage of 15.4km/l with the manual gearbox while the automatic returns a mileage of 16km/l. The Honda BR-V diesel returns a mileage of 21.9km/l.

Design

The BR-V reminds you of its larger sibling the CR-V from the front with its squared off looks. The chrome grille is flanked on both sides by sleek headlamps and sits above a large air dam.

The rear of the car is rather bland with only the LED taillamps and the chrome slat above the numberplate holder providing any relief from the flatness of the rear.
Both the front and rear bumpers are fitted with faux skid plates and a plastic cladding runs across the bottom of the vehicle.

Inside, the BR-V has a premium look and feel. The centre console features the controls for the infotainment system and the automatic A/C and is finished off in piano black. The steering wheel features controls for the infotainment system and in the top end automatic petrol variant, there are paddle shifters as well.

Availability

Booking for the BR-V started before the SUV's launch and the the new BR-V is available in all Honda dealerships across Bangalore and Karnataka.
