What makes the All-New Honda BR-V so captivating? Here are the top reasons:

• Its sleek and confident SUV Style

From the outside, the All-New BR-V presents a dynamic body shape, with strong lines that run from the front to the back of the body that features that confident SUV look that’s classy without trying hard. With its high ground clearance of 207mm and new 17’’ alloy wheel design, the second-generation model commands a stronger presence on the road. And with the availability of Honda Genuine Accessories, owners have the option to personalize their All-New BR-V according to their unique style and personality.

• It is spacious, comfortable, and versatile

The All-New BR-V provides an efficiently designed interior to create an even more comfortable and spacious environment for all occupants. With its larger body, this model now packs more legroom and headroom for passengers in all three rows. This seven-seater also lets you bring more, thanks to its larger cargo area, and flexible interior that features one-touch tumble 2nd row seats, a dive-down mechanism for the 3rd row, plus seat height and steering wheel adjusters for the driver. Furthermore, leather seats are standard in the VX CVT Honda SENSING and V CVT variants, while high-grade fabric is used in S CVT and S MT grades.

• The engine is powerful and fuel-efficient

At the heart of this seven-seater is a 1.5L DOHC i-VTEC engine with a maximum power of 121 PS at 6,600 rpm and a maximum torque of 145 Nm at 4,300 rpm. It is mated to a new Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that delivers better fuel efficiency and acceleration response, instilling the driver with confidence to navigate various road conditions – be it bustling city streets or long cruising drives.

In a fuel economy run conducted in 2022 in partnership with the Automotive Association Philippines (AAP), the All-New BR-V achieved remarkable fuel efficiency: 

• 22.62 Km/L – All-New Honda BR-V 1.5 S CVT
• 24.71 Km/L – All-New Honda BR-V 1.5 V CVT
• 23.49 Km/L – All-New Honda BR-V 1.5 VX CVT Honda SENSING 
• It is packed with premium features and advanced safety 

The All-New BR-V’s efficiently designed cockpit area highlights functionality and comfort for the driver and passengers. On top of its upgraded design and remarkable build quality, this model has an array of technology features such as 7-inch high-resolution touchscreen display audio with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

The All-New BR-V also comes standard with Speed Sensing Auto Door Locks, Dual and Side Airbags, Reverse Camera with Guidelines, Driver and Front Passenger Seat Belt Reminder, Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), Hill Start Assist, Security Alarm, Immobilizer, Emergency Stop Signal and ISOFIX Child Seat Anchor.

The Side Curtain Airbags, LaneWatch Camera, Walk Away Auto Lock and Rear Seat Belt Reminder are exclusive in the VX CVT Honda SENSING, while the Remote Engine Start feature is available in the VX CVT, V CVT and S CVT grades. 

Honda’s advanced suite of driver-assist technologies, the Honda SENSING is also now available in the VX CVT, with the following features: 

• Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) 
• Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) 
• Lead Car Departure Notification System (LCDN) 
• Road Departure Mitigation System with Lane Departure Warning (RDM with LDW) 
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) 
• Auto-High Beam (AHB)

The All-New BR-V is 5-star rated based on the latest ASEAN NCAP (New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asia). This demonstrates Honda’s commitment to safety for everyone sharing the road, so that we may truly enjoy the freedom of mobility and have peace of mind whenever we use our vehicles.

• Ownership is convenient

With the prescribed periodic maintenance service (PMS) twice a year every six months, or 10,000 kilometers, whichever comes first, maintaining a Honda is much more convenient and reasonable than the quarterly PMS required by most brands. Likewise, this is made easier with the 37 authorized Honda dealerships nationwide where customers can be guaranteed of skilled and dedicated Service Advisors and staff, genuine parts and accessories, and the latest vehicle diagnosis and repair equipment. Customers are also offered online tools to better prepare for their vehicle’s PMS. They can learn more about the maintenance schedule such as the estimated cost of visits, parts checking, and replacement guide via HCPI’s website at www.hondaphil.com/maintenance. Customers are strongly encouraged to adhere to the recommended PMS to help ensure their safety, preserve their vehicle’s pristine condition, and enhance its resale value in the future.
