The Honda BR-V was launched in Indonesia in December
2015. Next, the small SUV made it to the Thai car market in January 2016,
before getting introduced in the Indian market in May same year. Autonetmagz
now reports that the Brio-based model is slated to receive its mid-cycle
facelift in 2019.
Reportedly, the 2019 Honda BR-V (facelift) has good
chances of making its world premiere in a pre-production format at the IIMS
2019 which opens 25 April. While details on the mid-cycle makeover aren't
available at the moment, it's being said that the refreshed version will be a
more potent rival to the latest generation Toyota Rush and Daihatsu Terios.
In Indonesia, the Honda BR-V has been on sale in a
price bracket of IDR 238 - 274 Million. It has been available with a 1.5-litre
i-VTEC petrol engine that is capable of producing a maximum power of 120 PS and
a peak torque of 145 Nm. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and a
CVT. The Indonesia-spec BR-V is available in three trim levels - S, E and
Prestige. The safety package comprises ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, dual
front airbags, seatbelt reminder, and door ajar warning.
