Have you ever thought of a car that gives a comfortable journey to your entire family, gives a stylish look as well as great mileage and that too in budget? If yes, then this article is for you. Today we will talk about Honda’s New Honda Brv seven-seater car which is ready to make a splash in the Indian market.
What comes to mind when you hear the name Honda? Reliability, style and great driving experience. The first generation model of Honda Brv was launched in India in 2016 and it made a special place for itself in the Indian market.
But it was discontinued in 2020 as BAS6 norms and market competition pushed it back a bit. But now Honda is coming back and this time with the New Honda Brv, which is more stylish, more powerful and more feature loaded than before.
This car is going to create problems for Ertiga and Kia Carnival after its launch. Let’s see how that happens.

New Honda Brv design
First of all let’s talk about its design. Friends, if you have seen Honda City or Honda Elevate then you will have an idea of how bold and modern design Honda brings now.
The design of the new Honda Brv is inspired by the NX Seven concept, which Honda showcased in 2021. At the front, you will find a large chrome finished grille, which gives it a premium and muscular cooler look.
Along with this, sharp LED headlamps and daytime running lights make it even more attractive. To me, this grille seems as if the car is saying, “Look out, I am the boss”. In the side profile, you will find newly designed alloy wheels, probably sixteen or seventeen inches, and roof rails, which further highlight its SUV personality.
At the rear, LED tail lamps and a stylish bumper give it a modern touch. Overall, this car is so stylish from outside that neighbors will ask, “Bhai, which car have you brought?” Another special thing is its ground clearance, which can be around two hundred and ten millimeters. That means whether there are potholes or speed breakers on Indian roads, this car will easily cross them.
Interior updates
Now let’s move on to the interiors, as this is where you will spend most of your time. The interiors of the new Honda Brv are expected to be inspired by the Honda City and Elevate. You will get a new dashboard, which will come with premium materials and soft touch finish.
There is a big touchscreen infotainment system in the center, probably eight or ten inches, which will support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Friends, we have to admit that in today’s cars, there is no point without a touchscreen.
Apart from this, you will get a digital instrument cluster, which will give all the necessary information to the driver. Talking about seats, this seven-seater car will come in two plus three plus two configuration and perhaps Honda can also offer a six-seater option.
You can further increase the boot space by folding the second and third row seats. Suppose you are going on a long trip with family and there is a lot of luggage, then this car will not disappoint you. And yes, if you are like me, who likes to listen to music in the car, then its premium sound system will not disappoint you.
Performance and Engine details
Now let’s talk about performance, because the look and interior of the car are fine, but if the engine is not powerful then the fun gets spoiled. In the New Honda Brv, you are expected to get a 1.5 liter petrol engine, which will generate about 129 horsepower and 145 NM torque.
This is the same engine that is available in Honda City and you already know its performance. Transmission options include 6-speed manual and CVT automatic. Some people will say, “Brother, what about the diesel engine?” So friends, according to the information available so far, Honda may not offer a diesel option this time, because the demand for petrol and hybrid cars is high in the Indian market.
But if you are a mileage freak, then Honda can also launch a hybrid variant, like the one found in the City Hybrid. Talking about mileage, the petrol variant can give around 15 to 18 Kmpl, while the hybrid can go up to twenty to 25kmpl.
It has to be admitted that this mileage on long drives will save your pocket from getting lighter. A friend of mine had bought an old Honda Brv and he used to say, “Yaar, this car is made just for me. Take the family along, carry luggage and the mileage is such that you don’t have to make friends with the petrol pump guy. The new Honda Brv is going to be even better than that.
Advance safety of New Honda Brv
Let’s talk about safety features now, because nowadays if a car doesn’t have safety features, people say, “It’s just a car, not a tank.” You will get a lot of modern safety features in the New Honda Brv.
For safety, Honda Sensing technology can be used, which includes features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking.
Apart from this, six airbags, ABS, EBD and rear parking sensor can be standard. For comfort, push button start, automatic climate control and rear AC vents will be available.
Expect pricing
Now let’s talk about the price, because this is the biggest question. The ex-showroom price of the New Honda Brv can start from Rs 8 lakh and go up to Rs 15 lakh, depending on the variant and features. If a hybrid variant is launched then its price can be slightly higher.
In this price range, it will compete with cars like Maruti Ertiga, Kia Carens, Toyota Rumion and Mahindra Bolero Neo. But considering Honda’s reliability and brand value, this car can be value for money.
Is the New Honda Brv going to be a good car?
If seen, New Honda Brv is going to be a great family car, although people may not like some things in it, it completely depends on the choice of the people.
Conclusion
I think that New Honda Brv is perfect for those people who want a car which is comfortable for the family and there is no lack in features. By the way, how much do you like this car, write your opinion in the comment and bookmark our website for similar new car updates.
