  • I bought the Honda BR-V in September 2017 and have done around 25k kms in it since then. It's probably the only car in the segment that provides the rare combination of good performance, predictable handling and great comfort. What's more? It can seat 7!

    On the basis of all facts & figures Honda Brv is proved a smart SUV. Others like creta, duster, S Crass are compact SUVs but not as smart as BRv. It is also a matter of fact that BRv has discontinued but others are still in the showrooms and few are selling like hot cakes.
    Definitely brv did not pack with touch screen, reverse camera (R cam) in the beginning and added later, but these are not the whole things. Brv is having 2 seats extra which is more useful than touch screen & R cam. Touch screen & reverse camera can be implanted from out side but 2 extra seats can not be implanted.
    Other SUV designers mostly concentrated on one seat (driver's seat) only but designers of brv are concentrated on all seats. Friends, there are no any universally accepted definition of SUVs. Different experts, diff. Peoples, different nations are having their own definitions . Brv maximally fits on variety of definitions of SUVs.
    Honda tried to give a smart useful 7 seater SUV in price of existing 5 seater SUVs. Despite of having lots of useful qualities BRV failed to attract majority of indian people , reasons are multiple, may be Weak marketing, lack of awareness in customers, destiny related factor etc.
    There is needless uproar of offroading in the market. In india only 1 to 2 % people go for offroading. They also not go for it very often. Peoples are very busy in their onroad works. They travel point to point and also wishes to travel on smooth plane roads. So, for indian peoples (except forest and army officials) needless to search for 4WD . Front wheel derive ( FWD) vehicle is most sufficient for them. Brv, creat, duster (except few models), S cross all are FWD.
    Brv is a stylish, stable, powerful, comfortable, spacious, mileage frugal & peppy smart SUV.
    If we look for a little comparison between BRV, Creta, Duster, S Cross then we can see the Brv is the most qualified SUV over others.
    A) Ground clearance - Brv 210mm, creta 190mm, duster 205mm, S cross 180 mm.
    B) Tyre size - 16 inch for all.
    C) CC - nearly 1.5 for all with few minor differences
    D) Average (petrol) - between 15 l. to 18 l. for all
    E) Kerb wt. - between 1100 kg to 1300 kg for all

      BRV has been discontinued. So you can get only a pre owned one. If you're looking for a pre owned petrol one, then you can go for it.

    Planning to buy a pre-owned Honda BR-V, as heard positive experience from so many owners. Just a confusion over its spares. Since it is discontinued now, do you foresee any issue with spares and servicing in the near future?

    • @Torquehorsepower
      @Torquehorsepower  3 роки тому +1

      Spares shouldn't be an issue. Honda is obligated to provide spares for 10 years. Besides, there's a lot of part sharing between the City, Jazz, Amaze and BRV. So sourcing parts will never be an issue.
