The Honda WR-V had its glory days in Brazil as a more robust version of the Fit, but now it returns as a true compact SUV. Despite its departure in 2021, it continued to be produced for export until recently. new generation promises to surprise by bringing larger size and a lower price than the HR-V.

Why is it so anticipated? In addition to being competitive in the compact SUV segment, it arrives to compete directly with the Toyota Yaris Cross, offering excellent value for money and a practical approach for the Brazilian public.

Modern design and impressive dimensions

The first thing that catches your eye about the 2025 Honda WR-V is its robust and functional design. At 4,31 meters long and with a 2,65 meter wheelbase, it offers impressive interior space, even compared to models like the Volkswagen T-Cross.

The front features an imposing square grille, sharp headlights and a raised hood, while the rear features inverted “L” shaped taillights. It is clearly less bold than the HR-V, but it caters well to the public looking for practicality.

Interior and technology: Simplicity with a touch of sophistication

Inside, the 2025 Honda WR-V maintains a balance between simplicity and functionality. The dashboard doesn't share the design of the City or HR-V, but it offers a similar steering wheel and a partially digital instrument cluster with a 7-inch screen. The 10,25-inch multimedia center ensures cutting-edge connectivity.

What really makes a difference is the interior space. The generous wheelbase provides comfort for all occupants, while features such as automatic air conditioning, rear air vents and inductive cell phone charging make the experience even better.

WR-V 2025 engine and performance

Under the hood, the WR-V 2025 features the already well-known 1.5 naturally aspirated engine with direct injection, which delivers 126 hp. This configuration, combined with the CVT automatic transmission, guarantees efficiency and performance suitable for the day to day.

The big news is the flex hybrid version, which promises to arrive by 2027. Combining a combustion engine with two electric motors, the set will offer greater energy efficiency and lower emissions. Sounds futuristic, doesn't it?

The Honda WR-V and its competitiveness in the market

Competing with the Toyota Yaris Cross is quite a challenge, but the WR-V seems to be up to the task. With a starting price that should be lower than the HR-V, it already comes out ahead as an affordable option in the segment.

If we consider Honda's R$4 billion investment in Brazil to improve its production line and bring new technologies, the WR-V also positions itself as a strategic choice, both for the brand and for consumers.

The 2025 Honda WR-V is a promise of accessible innovation. With a modern design, efficient engine and competitive price, it has everything to be the darling of Brazilians looking for space and technology without spending a fortune.
