In terms of safety, WR-V facelift is equipped with ABS with EBD, dual airbags and rear parking sensors.

Based on the Jazz hatchback, WR-V subcompact crossover was originally launched in India in 2017. This is the first time WR-V is getting an update.

Even now, it is one of the bestselling cars in Honda’s India portfolio even though sales numbers have declined due to slowdown and coronavirus pandemic.
