Honda has introduced the second generation of its WR-V SUV to the Argentine market, positioning it as a strong contender in the B-segment. Manufactured in Brazil, this new iteration moves away from the first generation's perceived identity as an adventurous Fit variant, now boasting a genuine SUV aesthetic with sharp lines and a commanding presence.
The WR-V's design language emphasizes its sport utility vehicle identity. Key features include a prominent hexagonal grille with a honeycomb pattern, sharp LED headlights connected by a chrome strip, and a more squared-off profile. Its dimensions, measuring 4.325 meters long and 1.79 meters wide, along with a class-leading ground clearance of 223 mm, reinforce its SUV credentials and market positioning.
Inside, the WR-V offers a well-appointed cabin designed for comfort and practicality. It comfortably accommodates four adults and features a spacious 458-liter trunk, one of the largest in its class. The driver benefits from multiple adjustments for the seat and steering wheel, ensuring an optimal driving position. The interior blends physical controls with a 12.5-inch floating touchscreen that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Honda continues its commitment to safety by equipping the WR-V with advanced features. The EXL trim, the sole version available in Argentina, includes a wireless phone charger, eco-leather upholstery, digital climate control, keyless entry and start, a rearview camera, and rear parking sensors. This focus on safety, a hallmark of Honda's strategy across its model range, makes advanced features accessible in the entry-level SUV segment.
