There is also the introduction of Honda sensing with autonomous technologies like adaptive cruise control, road departure mitigation, lane keep assist and more. In Indonesia the new BR-V debuts with a 1.5l petrol with 120bhp along with CVT/manual options. We can expect the new BR-V in India since Honda already makes the Amaze here and it could be an interesting launch since 7-seaters are getting more popular.
