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. Now, however, preferences have clearly changed. It gets a healthy dose of creases here as well and does remind one of the Mobilio. It gets whiny a bit too often and feels lethargic to respond to throttle inputs, especially when pushed hard.Rewind a couple of years. We're glad it shares just the platform and not the looks.Handling has been the Japanese carmaker's forte for long. We like the all-black colour scheme, the piano black centre console, and the dull silver accents strewn across the cabin. Other than that, the BR-V is sure-footed and doesn't mind being thrown around a series of bends. The number game isn't in the BR-V's favour. We have to blame the small seat base for this.Braking duties are taken care of by disc brakes at the front, and drums at the rear. In case you want to have some fun with it, be sure to keep it on the boil at all times.Power builds up linearly only past the 1700rpm mark. Honda says the platform isn't 4WD ready and we can safely rule out the possibility of the same. It feels light on its toes and picks up pace quickly. Moreover, it can recline and tumble down to allow entry and egress into the third row. To sum it up, we like how the BR-V is a comfortable runabout for six people. I am close to 6 feet tall, and I can comfortably sit behind my own driving position. At low speeds, the 210mm of ground clearance and the India-friendly suspension dismiss the potholes and broken roads without a hiccup. However, the engine gets awfully loud at high revs and a fair bit of vibrations creep into the cabin as well. It is by far the longest vehicle in its class. I for one, love the connected tail-lamps.All three rows are accommodating, even for someone of my size.5/5)Does it feel like a big Honda City on the inside  Yep. The second and the third-row occupants better carry a power bank. Of course, as is the case with third rows in most cars, one tends to sit with the knees pointing towards the roof, with next to no under thigh Sliding Gate Wheelsupport. It doesn't set benchmarks, just blends in with the crowd. Pretty much. That said, the gearbox behaves like a typical CVT. Also, there's a single 12V socket in the car to charge the cellphones. The top-spec version that you see in the pictures gets good quality leather upholstery and adjustable headrests for all seven seats. Pick the BR-V only if you need the seven seats and do not want a Mahindra in your driveway.  

The design and the materials used are similar. While legroom and headroom aren't an issue, we wish the under thigh support was better. Why should one buy the CVT, then  If you spend a big chunk of your driving time crawling inside the city, the automatic transmission is nothing short of a blessing. There's a CVT on offer with the petrol motor, but no automatic diesel. We'd recommend a light right foot when you're driving this one.Honda is slightly late to the party with the BR-V. We wish Honda hadn't been stingy with the feature list. 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. When driven sedately in 'Drive' mode, you will find the 'ECO' lamp glowing almost all the time.1. Goodies such as a touchscreen audio system and a reverse parking camera would have made the BR-V a much more rounded package. 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.9km/l. Features include keyless entry and go, automatic climate control, a music system that would look out of place on a Brio, and roof mounted rear AC vents. Not just that, the steering wheel, gear knob and the side rests (on the doors) get draped in leather as well.The BR-V shares its platform with the Amaze compact sedan and the Mobilio MPV. Safety is taken care of by dual airbags that are standard across the range. Honda is slightly late to the party with the BR-V.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.The matte-black cladding, flared wheel arches and the roof rails grab a lot of attention.Complaints  Well, first, there simply isn't enough room for three people in the second row. However, pair them with the sheer length of the BR-V and it tends to look lost and rather small. For example, something as basic as parking sensors that are expected on a car that is 4.com. If you are travelling full house, the boot will barely accommodate a few backpacks. Step on the gas and it pulls cleanly. However, the turning radius is gigantic thanks to the length. Once in the last row, you'd notice that headroom is surprisingly adequate.5-litre i-DTEC (Diesel)Is it as noisy inside as the Amaze  Thankfully not. Even Honda's own hatchback, the Jazz, seems better equipped. While this was a boon in certain narrow bylanes of Udaipur, we wish the car was slightly wider. Nonetheless, it wants to take on established rivals, such as the Hyundai Creta and the Renault Duster. There's no sense of urgency in the power delivery - it happens in a calm, unhurried manner. A conventional 'badi gaadi', the 'big' car everyone wanted, was a sedan. It looks great from certain angles, such as the front three-quarters, but ends up looking drab and mini-van like from the rear. Like most i-VTECs, this one enjoys being revved as well. Look closely and you will find LED light guides in them too. The added width would have not only liberated more space inside but also contributed to giving it a butch stance.Space in the second row is generous.Interiors (2. So yes, you can be lazy with the gear shifts and get away with it. What's new  The petrol motor now gets a six-speed manual like the diesel. It is stiffly sprung, but not up to the point where the ride becomes jarring.4 metres long, is missing. It is wonderfully light at low speeds letting you chuck the thing around with a finger. Honda has somehow managed to stitch it all together into one neat package. Tuck the third row away, and you have 691 litres of space at your disposal. Source: CarDekho. If you can excuse the slightly iffy quality of plastics on the dashboard, the Honda seems like a lovely proposition for a family that likes to travel together. Everyone wants to be seen in an SUV, sitting high off the ground and not give two hoots about the pothole-ridden roads. With 100PS of power and 200Nm of torque on tap, it is far from being the most powerful in its class.1. Taking a U-turn is a task in itself. There are paddle shifters as well, which let you take charge of the gear changes yourself. It gets two engine options, both being tried and tested under the City's hood. There's enough feedback that gives you the confidence to push it through the corners as well. The Honda is 45mm narrower compared to the Creta, and a full 87mm narrower compared to the Duster. The slushbox is tuned for efficiency, which means it will upshift as quickly as possible. The ride is slightly bouncy at the second and third row but is tolerable for shorter journeys.  

You can amble about in one gear higher, and the motor doesn't mind it one bit. Braking power is adequate and the SUV doesn't nose dive a lot under heavy braking and manages to maintain its line as well. The diesel BR-V's NVH levels are at acceptable levels. The seat compound itself is slightly hard, which is better over longer journeys, but an irritant over smaller ones.Verdict (3/5) The BR-V has got the basics right. Honda has done a fantastic job with the new six-speed manual. It is amongst the most refined engines in its class. 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. The throws are short, and the ratios are well spaced out to let you exploit the motor properly. We like the finer aspects such as the detailing in the headlamps, the aggressive creases on the bumper and the silver skid plate. Honda has played the length card with the BR-V. It has seven seats, rides well and has proven engines. Everything else is lukewarm at best. The steering weight and feel are just about right. However, it isn't as wide. Well, can it  Let's find out!Exteriors (3/5)Does it look like a Mobilio on steroids  Umm, not entirely. They do their bit to lend the BR-V the rugged appeal that its potential customers want. Second, the feature list is spartan compared to what the competition offers. Boot space is rated 223 litres with all three rows in place. However, that's where the good bits end. However, the side profile, especially that kink in the window line, makes it look awfully similar. It'll help the BR-V hover around its claimed efficiency of 21. To sum up, the 'van meets SUV' design is a mixed bag. Nonetheless, it wants to take on established rivals, such as the Hyundai Creta and the Renault Duster. The face and the rear look nothing like the Mobilio. Over the past few years, our market has been bombarded with compact and sub-compact SUVs, priced on par with the conventional three-box sedan. The S-Cross, for example, fares much better in this regard.5-litre i-VTEC (Petrol)The four-cylinder engine makes 119PS of power and 145Nm of torque. 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. Engine and Performance (3/5)BR-V translates to Bold Runabout Vehicle. Push hard through the gears and the BR-V will surprise you. The 16-inch alloy wheels look great in isolation. The side and the rear are slightly bland in comparison. All these work well together to give the BR-V a likeable front profile.Low-end grunt is particularly good. In case you want to be lazier, pick the CVT variant
