10Honda WR-V
Honda WR-V is the latest offering from the Japanese automaker for the Indian market. This Jazz based crossover comes following the company’s latest philosophy of making affordable new premium cars. Despite being present in the country market, Honda Car India failed to achieve the desired success. The WR-V is expected to change all that and has specifically been developed for the developing markets, where demands for premium cars are pretty high.
The Honda WR-V looks pretty muscular and chunky and it is based on the Jazz premium hatchback. The car comes with a bold look from nose to toe and it challenges tough and well established rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Ford EcoSport. Priced between Rs. 7.75 lakh and Rs. 10 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi), the Honda WR-V looks very promising and the Japanese automaker too is betting big on this newly-introduced car.
