About

The Honda BR-V Diesel is a seven-seater compact SUV that stands out for its practicality and reliability. It is powered by a 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine producing 100 PS and 200 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The vehicle features a spacious cabin with adjustable seats that recline, slide, and fold flat, providing ample room for passengers and cargo. The high ground clearance and well-tuned suspension ensure a comfortable ride over various road conditions. While the engine may lack refinement and the transmission can be notchy, the BR-Vs overall package, including its comfortable driving experience, decent interiors, and good fuel efficiency, makes it a solid choice for family outings and daily use. However, it lacks some modern features and has some drawbacks in terms of engine performance and transmission smoothness.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Honda BR-V Diesel is a mixed bag, offering both commendable and lacking aspects. On the positive side, it boasts a high ground clearance of 210mm, which is a significant advantage for navigating Indian roads, especially over speed bumps and rough patches. The vehicle is also quite maneuverable in city traffic despite its length, thanks to its compact build. However, the 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine, while fuel-efficient, feels underpowered, particularly in city traffic, and suffers from noticeable turbo-lag and high NVH levels. The transmission, though light on the clutch, has a notchy feel and lacks smoothness. The ride quality is good, but high-speed braking reveals some body roll. Overall, its a reliable and comfortable vehicle, but it falls short in terms of engine refinement and transmission smoothness.

Price

The Honda BR-V Diesel, when it was available in India, was priced between Rs 9.52 lakh and Rs 13.82 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), depending on the variant. On-road prices would typically range from around Rs 11 lakh to Rs 16 lakh, including taxes, registration, and other costs. While the pricing was competitive in its segment, the lack of modern features such as a touchscreen audio system, reverse camera, and advanced safety features made it less appealing compared to rivals like the Hyundai Creta and Renault Duster. Despite this, the BR-Vs reliability and spacious interior made it a viable option for those prioritizing practicality.
