Compared to its rivals, the Renault Duster and the Hyundai Creta, the BRV, even after the price hike, is slightly cheaper. However, it misses out on some features, too.

Honda BRV Review
Exterior
The design of the Honda Brio compact SUVย is based on the carmaker’sย โXCITING H DESIGN!!!โ philosophy. Basically, all this means is that the BRV boasts of a bold design that features ample usage of chrome and some interesting surface treatments.ย The car getsย projector headlamps, a suitably high ground clearance, side body cladding and silver roof rails. Worth a mention here is that the rear-end looks strikingly similar to the China-spec HR-V. While the BR-V looks attractive from the front, the side and the rear is a bit too van-like and is reminiscent of the Mobilio.

Interior Review
Unlike the Amaze and the Mobilio, the BRV doesn’t get the Brio’s dashboard. Instead, it features a more stylish Jazz-like unit. While the steering wheel does come from the Mobilio, the BRV gets a new instrument panel and City-like aircon vents. Its dashboard design is identical to the Amaze facelift‘s and will also be seen in the upcoming Brio facelift. ย The design of the Honda Brio compact SUV hasย taken many hints from the Honda XS-1 vision concept pictured below. Also, the upcomingย compact SUV closely resembles the Mobilio MPV, especially when viewed from certain angles and has proportions which are a mix of MPV and SUV.
