Honda WR-V Accessories

The Honda WR-V is a sub-4 metre compact SUV with sharp styling all around. It gets plenty of chrome on the grille along with black, horizontal slats. Large LED projector headlights with integrated LEDs are striking and prominent. The sculpted sides have an upswept line that ties up the rear with C-shaped LED tail lamps. Front and rear bumpers get silver skid plates while 16-inch alloy wheels provide adequate ground clearance.

Overall, the body is tall and wide. Body cladding around the lower panels will be useful to avoid scuff marks if you happen to scrape the underside.

The cabin includes a 7-inch Digipad touchscreen infotainment system that integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An all-black interior gives the WR-V a sporty look, especially with the silver trim lining on the steering, gear lever and A/c vents. The adjustable steering is wrapped in leather and has mounted controls for the infotainment and connectivity controls.

Notable features include an electric sunroof, remote keyless entry, rear parking camera with sensors and cruise control. The WR-V is equipped with an engine start/stop button.

Safety features on the WR-V include dual airbags (driver and passenger) and ABS with EBD. High seating gives the driver a commanding view of the road while supportive seats ensure good comfort for the driver and passengers.

Engine Performance

The Honda WR-V gets 2 engine options, a petrol and a diesel unit. The petrol is a 1,199-cc inline four-cylinder, SOHC, i-VTEC engine (89 bhp / 110 Nm). The diesel is a 1,498-cc inline four-cylinder DOHC i-DTEC engine (98 bhp / 200 Nm). Both engines have low NVH levels that provide a smooth ride mated to a six-speed manual transmission. There is no automatic gearbox on offer for the WR-V.

The petrol and diesel engines are both high in performance and have good mid-range torque. Power units seem to have been tuned for city driving, which means you can cruise at low rpms without having to constantly change gears. Throttle response is brisk and acceleration won’t have you struggling during an overtake.
