While the former is good for 89bhp of power and 110Nm of torque, the oil burner produces 99bhp and 200Nm of torque. Power will be transmitted to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox. The WR-V facelift won’t have a direct rival, but it could impact the sales of the Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, Ford EcoSport and others in its category.
