Rising input costs have been cited as reasons for increased prices. However, price hikes at the start of the year is something most automakers have been resorting to over the past few years. Increased prices at the beginning of the year allow companies to clear off stocks left over from last year.

It will be launched in India later this year with a choice of petrol and diesel engine options. To rival the likes of Hyundai Creta and Renault Duster, Honda BR-V will strengthen Honda’s portfolio.
