The Under Thigh Support Was Better

However, the side profile, especially that kink in the window line, makes it look awfully similar. With 100PS of power and 200Nm of torque on tap, it is far from being the most powerful in its class. The steering weight and feel are just about right. Tuck the third row away, and you have 691 litres of space at your disposal. You can amble about in one gear higher, and the motor doesn't mind it one bit. It'll help the BR-V hover around its claimed efficiency of 21. However, a beige-black combo, especially for the dashboard, would've helped liven up the cabin and made it more palatable to its intended clientele. Nonetheless, it wants to take on established rivals, such as the Hyundai Creta and the Renault Duster. Step on the gas and it pulls cleanly. Pretty much.

Goodies such as a touchscreen audio system and a reverse parking camera would have made the BR-V a much more rounded package. It gets two engine options, both being tried and tested under the City's hood. If you are travelling full house, the boot will barely accommodate a few backpacks. We think a set of 17-inch alloys, like the Creta, would've filled in the wheel arches beautifully and given the BR-V a more balanced side profile.Rewind a couple of years. The design and the materials used are similar. For example, something as basic as parking sensors that are expected on a car that is 4. Honda has somehow managed China Electric Bicycle motors to stitch it all together into one neat package.Handling has been the Japanese carmaker's forte for long. In case you want to be lazier, pick the CVT variant. Honda could have (and should have) loaded the BR-V to the gills with features, like Hyundai did with the Creta. The front seats are well contoured and hold most frames nicely.5/5)Does it feel like a big Honda City on the inside Yep. There's no sense of urgency in the power delivery - it happens in a calm, unhurried manner. We like the finer aspects such as the detailing in the headlamps, the aggressive creases on the bumper and the silver skid plate. Source: CarDekho.

However, it isn't as wide. It is wonderfully light at low speeds letting you chuck the thing around with a finger. We wish Honda hadn't been stingy with the feature list. At low speeds, the 210mm of ground clearance and the India-friendly suspension dismiss the potholes and broken roads without a hiccup. While legroom and headroom aren't an issue, we wish the under thigh support was better. To sum it up, we like how the BR-V is a comfortable runabout for six people. I for one, love the connected tail-lamps.Manufacturers are more than willing to oblige as well. A couple of people can be comfortable in the last row, but not for too long.Ride and Handling (4/5)The BR-V's ride is forgiving and absorbs most of the undulations our roads will ever throw at it.1. To sum up, the 'van meets SUV' design is a mixed bag. The face looks inspired from the new Accord, incorporating neat elements, such as projector headlamps with LED light guides and a thick double slat chrome grille.5-litre i-DTEC (Diesel)Is it as noisy inside as the Amaze Thankfully not.
