The new Honda WR-V may be keenly priced to take on the Proton X50, but there have been several compromises made to hit that price point. Are those trade-offs worth it? Watch the video here.
At the heart of the WR-V sits a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated i-VTEC four-cylinder engine that’s shared with the, producing 89kW and 145Nm of torque. It’s not turbocharged, so it’s not as powerful or as torquey as the X50—and with a CVT with seven virtual ratios, the compact crossover takes 11 seconds to get from zero to 100km/h, on its way to a top speed of 160km/h. On the flip side, Honda quotes a combined fuel consumption figure of 6.0 litres per 100km.
. It measures 4,060mm long, 1,780mm wide and 1,608mm tall, making it 270mm shorter than the HR-V; its 2,485mm wheelbase is also 125mm shorter. Despite this, it actually has a larger boot that measures 380 litres, although you do lose out on a tonneau cover and the HR-V’s incredibly practical rear Ultra Seats.
The level of standard kit also leaves much to be desired. While you do get keyless entry, push-button start, a seven-inch touchscreen head unit, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a LaneWatch blind spot camera across the range, the base 1.5 S only comes with halogen headlights, fabric seats, four airbags and, somewhat incredulously,You’ll have to step up to the E variant to get four speakers, along with automatic headlights, remote engine start, walk-away auto lock and a reverse camera.
