Speaking of India, it is expected that the Honda BRV price will start in the vicinity of Rs. 10 lacs and it will compete majorly with Hyundai Creta along with facelifted Renault Duster and others.

Mechanically, the Honda BRV will be powered by a 1.5-liter i-VTEC petrol and a 1.5-liter i-DTEC diesel. Speaking of the transmission, 6-Speed manual will be standard in both petrol and diesel models but petrol version will also come with an option of Honda’s new CVT automatic (Earth Dream Technology).
