What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer’s opinion
The WR-V looks good and has a lot to offer, but I do think it is going to struggle against its segment competitors. The few minor fit and finish issues and the lack of drive means that it comes up short against class leaders like the Brezza and Venue.

What is the Honda WR-V like inside?
The WR-V is the brand’s most compact crossover, sporting a basic cabin with simple ergonomics, a prevalence of hard plastics and a general emphasis on functionality.
Style
“Soft-touch charcoal finishes emphasise the upmarket feel of the cabin, while silver accents add a further air of sophistication. Both models feature a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel with audio controls. The Elegance model gains leather finishes for the gearshift knob and steering wheel which continues the elegant theme of the interior environment.”- Honda
