    Generous cabin space

    The Honda BR-V boasts generous leg- and headroom that can accommodate all its passengers comfortably. Aside from that, the vehicle can carry as much as 520 liters of luggage if the the middle and third-row seats are to be folded.

    Standard seven-inch touchscreen display

    Since infotainment systems are one of the selling points for customers, buyers of the Honda BR-V are covered in the aforementioned element as it comes with a seven-inch touchscreen display.

    The system supports Bluetooth, audio streaming and USB input. The top-of-the-line 1.5 V CVT variation’s multimedia player has the capability to integrate mobile devices via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

    Powertrain reliability

    Claiming to be the most powerful in its class, the Honda BR-V is equipped with a 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine matched to a Continuous Variable Transmission that can deliver 118hp and 145Nm of torque. The same power mill can do as much 22.58kpl, allowing fewer trips to the gas stations while covering more roads.

    • dual airbags
    • seatbelt reminder for front occupants
    • electronic brakeforce distribution
