Hot news in the automotive world: Honda just confirmed the launch of the new cheapest SUV in the country. The new generation of WR-V comes with everything to compete head-on with models such as Fiat Pulse, Volkswagen Nivus and Chevrolet Tracker. Shall we learn more about this news?

Honda is not messing around and presented the WR-V, a compact SUV that promises to be the new favorite of Brazilians. This car has already been registered in Brazil since 2022, but now the Japanese automaker has officially confirmed its launch. And the best part: it is the cheapest SUV in the country.

Features of the new Honda WR-V

The new WR-V comes with a simplified platform, based on the City and HR-V, but with several improvements. It is larger and more spacious than its predecessor, offering dimensions close to the HR-V, measuring 4,32 meters in length, 2,65 meters in wheelbase, 1,79 meters in width and 1,65 meters in height. And look: it weighs just 1213 kg and has a 311 liter trunk.

The design is modern and attractive, with a chrome grille, Piano Black fog light surrounds and full LED headlights. The wheels can reach 17 inches and the paintwork can be two tone. At the rear, the look is reminiscent of the seven-seater BR-V, with a gray appliqué on the bumper and LED taillights.

Engine and performance

Under the hood, the WR-V has a 1.5 four-cylinder engine, the same one used in the Honda City and the simpler versions of the HR-V. This engine is aspirated, with direct fuel injection, and can run on both ethanol and gasoline. It delivers 126 horsepower and 15,8 kgfm of torque, always associated with a CVT automatic transmission that simulates up to seven gears. Abroad, it is also offered with a manual transmission.

And the best: the consumption is impressive! In Japan, the WR-V gets more than 16 km/l in the city. Here, the expectation is that it also presents excellent consumption figures.

interior and equipment

Inside, the WR-V is simple but functional. The finish is in hard plastic, but of good quality. It accommodates five occupants well thanks to its generous wheelbase. In terms of equipment, it comes with:

• Digital air conditioning of one area
• Electrically folding mirrors
• Multifunctional steering wheel
• In-person key with remote start
• Induction cell phone charging
• 8-inch multimedia screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Rear camera and native GPS

Security

The new WR-V comes with six standard airbags, traction and stability control, front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. The top-of-the-line versions, RS and Touring, include collision warning with autonomous emergency braking and Lane Watch, which displays the image of the blind spot on the multimedia screen.

Price and launch

The new WR-V will be produced in Brazil, in the interior of São Paulo, which should help keep prices competitive. The launch is scheduled for the second half of 2024, with an estimated price range between R$110.000 and R$150.000, positioning it as the cheapest SUV in the country. Versions for PCD are also planned, with even more affordable prices.
