The new Honda WR-V, already registered in Brazil since 2022, stands out for its growth in size and appearance.

Design features include a front grille with chrome accents, full LED headlights, and a two-tone paint option.

Equipped with the 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, known from the Honda City and HR-V models, the WR-V offers 126 horsepower and 15.8 kgf.m of torque. In Brazil, the model will come with a CVT automatic transmission that simulates seven gears, promising a balanced performance and fuel efficiency.

Interior and Connectivity

Inside, the WR-V presents a simpler look compared to the HR-V and City, with a predominance of hard plastic, but with good quality fittings. The interior space is generous, comfortably accommodating five occupants. Notable is the 8-inch multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, as well as wireless cellphone charging.
