About

The Honda BR-V Diesel S is a compact SUV that stands out for its seven-seat capacity, making it a versatile choice for families or those who need to transport multiple passengers. It is powered by a 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine that produces 99 bhp and 200 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The vehicle is known for its spacious interior, with seats that recline, slide, and fold flat, providing ample room for passengers and cargo. However, it lacks some modern features such as a touchscreen infotainment system, driver armrest, and rear-view camera, which might be a disappointment for some buyers. The ride quality is good, with a well-tuned suspension that handles Indian roads effectively, but the steering and braking could use some refinement. Overall, the BR-V Diesel S is a practical and reliable option, but it may not be the most exciting or feature-rich choice in its segment.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Honda BR-V Diesel S is a mixed bag when it comes to overall performance and user experience. On the positive side, it offers ample space and flexibility, making it a practical choice for families or those needing a seven-seater vehicle. The 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine, although familiar from other Honda models, feels underpowered in the BR-V, particularly in city traffic. The transmission, a 6-speed manual, has a notchy feel and requires precision, especially during downshifts. The ride quality is commendable, with the suspension handling bumps and rough patches well, but the steering can be a bit sharp and the brakes, while precise, can exhibit body roll during high-speed braking. Overall, while it is a reliable and spacious option, it lacks the refinement and performance that some users might expect from a diesel engine in this segment.

Price

The Honda BR-V Diesel S was priced around Rs. 9.9 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) at the time of its launch. However, prices can vary based on the state and local taxes. On-road prices, including registration, insurance, and other costs, can range from Rs. 11.5 lakh to Rs. 12.5 lakh, depending on the location. Given the features and the segment it competes in, the BR-V Diesel S is positioned competitively against other compact SUVs like the Hyundai Creta. However, the lack of advanced features such as a touchscreen infotainment system and rear-view camera might make it seem less value-for-money compared to some of its rivals.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 15 November 2023 02:22 AM The Honda BR-V Diesel S, which was once a popular choice in the compact SUV segment, has been discontinued in the Indian market. This decision comes as Honda focuses on petrol and hybrid models to comply with evolving emission norms. I think this move might disappoint some loyal customers, but its a necessary step for the companys future strategy.

Friday, 13 January 2023 10:04 AM At the Auto Expo 2023, Honda did not showcase the BR-V Diesel S, further indicating that the model is no longer a part of their Indian lineup. Instead, the focus was on the petrol variants and upcoming hybrid models. It seems Honda is shifting gears towards more environmentally friendly options.

Tuesday, 20 September 2022 04:06 AM The last batch of Honda BR-V Diesel S units has been sold out in India, marking the end of an era for this diesel-powered compact SUV. Customers who were waiting for this model will now have to consider other options. I believe this is a significant loss for those who preferred the diesel engines efficiency.

Wednesday, 15 June 2022 02:40 PM Due to high demand and limited stock, the prices of the remaining Honda BR-V Diesel S units have been hiked. This move is aimed at maximizing profits before the model is completely phased out. Its a bit of a blow to potential buyers who were looking for a more affordable option.

Thursday, 10 March 2022 11:29 AM Although the Honda BR-V Diesel S is on its way out, the company has introduced minor updates to the existing stock, including new interior trim options and enhanced infotainment systems. These updates are likely to attract last-minute buyers. I think these small changes are a nice touch but wont change the overall fate of the model.

Monday, 20 December 2021 03:15 PM Sales of the Honda BR-V Diesel S have been declining steadily over the past year, largely due to the increasing popularity of petrol and hybrid vehicles. This trend has prompted Honda to reconsider its product lineup in India. Its clear that consumer preferences are shifting rapidly.

Wednesday, 15 September 2021 03:23 AM The Honda BR-V Diesel S is facing stiff competition from other compact SUVs in the Indian market, such as the Hyundai Creta and Renault Duster. These competitors offer more modern features and better fuel efficiency, making the BR-V Diesel S less appealing to new buyers. I think Honda needs to innovate more to stay in the game.

Tuesday, 01 June 2021 12:48 AM Honda has announced that there will be no new engine upgrades for the BR-V Diesel S, indicating that the model is not a priority for the company. This decision suggests that Honda is focusing on other models and technologies. Its a bit disappointing for fans of the diesel variant.

Thursday, 25 March 2021 01:56 PM The Honda BR-V Diesel S has received updates to its safety features, including the addition of more airbags and advanced braking systems. These updates are part of Hondas effort to enhance safety across its lineup. I believe these changes are crucial and welcome, even if the models future is uncertain.

Sunday, 10 January 2021 08:09 AM Honda has adjusted the pricing of the BR-V Diesel S in India, making it slightly more competitive in the market. However, this move may not be enough to boost sales significantly. I think the price adjustment is a good step, but more needs to be done to attract buyers.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 05:43 AM The Honda BR-V Diesel S offers a claimed fuel efficiency of 21.9 kml, but real-world mileage tends to be lower, typically ranging between 16-18 kml. This makes it a relatively fuel-efficient option for those concerned about running costs, especially for long-distance driving or for families who need a vehicle for daily use.
