The BR-V is based on the same platform as the Brio, Amaze and the Mobilio. It shares the same wheelbase as the Mobilio MPV. It will be powered by the same 1.5 litre petrol and diesel motors that are seen in other models in the Honda stable. The petrol BR-Vis also like to come with a segment first CVT automatic gearbox. The CVT gearbox has been developed specifically by Honda for the BR-V using the company’s Earth Dreams technology.
