Honda WR-V: Variants Explained

The WR-V’s model line-up offers just two variants but it is still one of the most feature-loaded vehicles in its price band! 

Honda drove in the WRV yesterday, i.e. March 16, at a price of Rs 7.75 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi). The WRV is priced in the range of 8-10 lakh, which puts several vehicles – including compact SUVs and cross hatches – on its radar. The sub-4m crossover has also borrowed a few features from the facelifted 2017 Honda City, and the biggest draw is its segment-first sunroof. Here’s what the Honda WRV is packing, which is available in just two variants – the base 'S' and the range-topping 'VX'. Time to roll!
