About

The Honda BR-V Diesel V is a 7-seater compact SUV that stands out for its practicality and flexibility. Powered by a 1.5-litre diesel engine producing 99bhp and 200Nm of torque, it is paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The vehicle boasts a high ground clearance of 210mm, making it adept at handling Indian road conditions. The seating is highly flexible, with seats that recline, slide, and fold flat, providing ample space for passengers and cargo. The cabin is spacious, with comfortable front seats and decent rear seats, although the third row is best suited for shorter journeys. The BR-V also features a robust suspension that handles high-speed stability well, and its compact build makes it manageable in city traffic. Despite some cost-cutting measures in the interior, the BR-V remains a reliable and comfortable choice for family outings and daily commutes.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Honda BR-V Diesel V is a practical and versatile vehicle that caters well to the needs of a family or those requiring a 7-seater option. While it may not excel in every department, it offers a balanced package. The diesel engine, producing 99bhp and 200Nm of torque, provides good mid-range performance, although it requires revving to extract the best from it. The handling is manageable, even in city conditions, despite the expected body roll for a vehicle of its size. However, the interior and features are where the BR-V falls short, with a lack of modern amenities like a touchscreen infotainment system, driver armrest, and rear-view camera. Despite these shortcomings, the BR-Vs comfort, ground clearance, and flexible seating make it a reliable choice for those prioritizing practicality over luxury.

Price

The Honda BR-V Diesel V, when it was available in the Indian market, was priced competitively. The ex-showroom price for the top variant, the VX i-DTEC, was around 13-14 lakhs. On-road prices varied by city but typically ranged from 15 to 17 lakhs, depending on local taxes and other costs. While the BR-V is no longer in production in India, its pricing strategy was aimed at making it an attractive option in the 7-seater segment, offering a balance between cost and features. For those considering a used model, prices would be significantly lower, reflecting the vehicles age and mileage.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 14 November 2024 02:35 PM The Honda BR-V, although not available in a diesel variant in India, has been updated with a new 7-inch colour touchscreen infotainment system featuring Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. This update enhances the vehicles tech appeal, making it more competitive in the market. I think this is a great move to keep the BR-V relevant.

Thursday, 14 November 2024 03:15 PM Honda has unveiled the 2024 BR-V with a bold and sporty design, including an aggressive new grille and LED Daytime Running Lights. While this update is for the petrol version, it hints at the design direction for any future variants, including a potential diesel model. I believe this new design will attract more buyers.

Thursday, 14 November 2024 01:46 AM The BR-Vs current petrol engine produces 89 kW and 145 Nm torque, which is adequate for light loads but may not be sufficient for a diesel variant that needs to handle heavier loads efficiently. Any diesel engine would need to offer more torque and power. I believe this would be a key area of focus.

Thursday, 14 November 2024 07:03 PM The BR-Vs interior and exterior design have been praised for their elegance and ruggedness, respectively. A diesel variant would likely retain these design elements to maintain the vehicles appeal. I think the current design is a winner.

Thursday, 14 November 2024 04:16 AM Hondas decision to focus on quiet, efficient, and reliable running rather than performance is evident in the current BR-V. A diesel variant would likely follow the same philosophy, emphasizing practicality over performance. I think this approach aligns well with Indian consumer preferences.

Thursday, 14 November 2024 01:56 PM The BR-Vs technology features, including the new 7-inch touchscreen and Honda Sensing in higher variants, would be expected in any diesel model as well. This would ensure the vehicle stays competitive in terms of tech and safety. I believe these features are essential for modern cars.

Saturday, 27 April 2019 10:18 AM Honda has not officially announced any plans for a diesel variant of the BR-V in India, but market speculation suggests there could be demand for such a model given the popularity of diesel engines in the country. I think Honda should consider this option seriously.

Friday, 22 September 2017 12:31 AM The BR-V has been updated with various safety features, including dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and ISOFIX child seat anchors. Any diesel variant would likely include these safety features as standard to ensure consumer safety. I believe safety features are now a top priority for buyers.

Thursday, 05 May 2016 08:58 AM The Honda BR-V has been priced at Rs 8.75 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) for its base model, positioning it competitively against the Hyundai Creta and Renault Duster. If a diesel variant is introduced, it would likely be priced similarly to stay competitive. I think this pricing strategy is smart.

Thursday, 05 May 2016 06:19 AM The BR-V features a 1.5-liter DOHC naturally-aspirated gasoline engine, but if a diesel variant were to be introduced, it would likely need a more powerful engine to match consumer expectations. This could involve a new engine development or tuning an existing diesel engine. I believe a diesel option would be highly sought after in India.

Thursday, 05 May 2016 02:40 AM Honda has emphasized the practicality and space of the BR-V, with three rows of seats and ample cargo space. A diesel variant would need to maintain these features while offering better fuel efficiency, which is a key selling point in the Indian market. I think this balance would be crucial for its success.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 05:44 AM The Honda BR-V Diesel V offers respectable fuel efficiency, which is a crucial factor for many buyers in India. With a claimed fuel efficiency of 21.9 kml, real-world mileage can vary but generally falls in the range of 17-20 kml, depending on driving conditions. This makes the BR-V a viable option for those concerned about running costs, especially for those who split their driving between city and highway use.
