2018 Honda WRV Exterior

Designed on the Jazz hatchback, the new Honda WRV is equipped with a host of crossover bits that save it from being mistaken as Jazz’s spin off. Instead, the front fascia seems more inspired from the BR-V. It features a bold chrome band that runs between the pulled back headlamps. In addition, it gets a newly designed bumper with lots of contours, creases and cuts that infuses aggression to the front profile.

Unlike the front end, the side profile of the crossover seems likely identical the Jazz hatchback. It has borrowed the side panels, character lines, doors and window shape from its donor hatchback sibling. Though, Honda has added new bits such as new roof rails atop, plastic cladding on the lower body, new diamond cut alloy wheels and flared wheel arches. The rear profile of the SUV gets several new design highlights, adding to a new identity. It is equipped with newly designed L-shaped taillights, new tail-gate and the dual-tone bumper that gives it a sporty profile.

Performance

The diesel engine does well on low rpms but cannot maintain it after a certain point. During overtaking, one feels the need to downshift the gear multiple times, which makes it a tad tough to ride through traffic, but once you get accustomed to it, the car is fun to drive. The diesel engine is a bit noisy that hinders the ride quality of the car. Though, it is better than petrol version in terms of driveability due to the smooth power delivery.

Dimensions

Honda has altered the dimensions in a bid to provide more space on the inside. The compact SUV is 44mm longer, 40mm wider and 57mm taller than the Jazz sibling.
