The Japanese automaker has confirmed that the new-generation Honda WR-V will make its global debut on 2nd November 2022. Just so you know, the subcompact SUV was first showcased as Honda RS Concept at the GIIAS (Indonesia Motors Show) in 2021. While there is no official announcement on its India arrival, the model is reported to touch our ground sometime in 2023. Rumour has it that 2023 Honda WR-V might be put up on display at the Delhi Auto Expo in January. The India-spec model will share platform with the Amaze subcompact sedan.
The fresh teaser image shows the side profile of the new Honda SUV featuring crossover-ish stance. You can also notice its LED headlamps with LED DRLs, pronounced hood, dual colour ORVMs, roof rails and taillamps. Previously leaked images reveal that the new 2023 Honda WR-V will have the conventional grille with chrome studded RS treatment as we have seen in the new-gen HR-V RS. Its headlamp design will be entirely different from the concept. The new Honda SUV will have lower bumper integrated fog lamp assembly, wider air dam and plate-style trim with three notches.
Feature-wise, the new WR-V will have more to offer. The new 2023 Honda WR-V is likely to come with a touchscreen infotainment system with connected car features, ambient lighting, leather upholstery, a semi-digital instrument cluster and more.

Official engine specifications of the new WR-V are yet to be revealed. Though, it’s reported to be offered with petrol, petrol-hybrid and diesel powertrains in global markets. In India, the new 2023 Honda WR-V is likely to be made available with the 1.5L i-VTEC petrol motor and two gearbox options – a 6-speed manual and a CVT automatic. The gasoline unit will deliver power worth 121PS and 145Nm of torque. Here, the subcompact SUV won’t be available with diesel engine option.
