The Honda Jazz-based WR-V crossover has been teased ahead of its official debut at the Sao Paulo Motor Show which will start from next week. The fourth vehicle to be based on the Jazz underpinnings, it is expected to come to India in late 2017.
The officials rendering reveal that the car will use the standard formula of such vehicles which include a high ground clearance, taller wheels and a beefy body kit to make the vehicle seem larger than life. It is also expected to get a modified grille and possibly different tail lamps.
The cabin will be standard Honda Jazz fare but expect some upgrades in terms of features and possibly on the safety front too. The Brazilian model will be offered with the 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre petrol while we in the Indian market will also get it with the 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine.
Here in India it will take on the Hyundai i20 Active, Toyota Etios Cross, Ford EcoSport, Mahindra NuvoSport as well as the Volkswagen Cross Polo. The arrival of this model comes at a time when there has been a growing demand for crossovers and compact SUVs across the market.
