Here's our full verdict on the .Hondaphil BR-V VX. Honda HondaPhil HondaBRV BRV CarReview CarGuidePH
From a purely enthusiast’s standpoint, it’s hard to get excited about these small 7-seater MPVs/SUVs. With their compact proportions and fuel-efficient powertrains, they serve the purpose of ferrying the Filipino family. Excitement isn’t its middle name; heck, excitement can’t even be mentioned in the same sentence. Once in a while, there’s one that’ll manage to stand out in a good way. And the Honda BR-V is sort-of one of those times.
The BR-V’s thin insulation also happens to exacerbate the engine noise. Normally, you’d love to hear what the engine’s doing, right? That’s why some carmakers go to lengths to pump engine noises into the cabin using microphones or special tubing. Here, Honda should have kept it isolated. As rev happy and powerful as this 1.5-liter is, it also produces this unattractive drone. Multiplied by the CVT’s propensity to hold revs, and every overtake is torture to the ears.
On to the seats, the front offers good support. They’re not only comfortable, but thanks to a standard height adjuster, it can now accommodate a wider range of body types. It must be noted that for a 170 cm tall person, such as myself, the seats felt tall even at the lowest setting. Meanwhile, the second-row seats have plenty of headroom. It’s also properly engineered with three individual headrests and three-point seatbelts for all. There’s a center arm rest too.
Also, like Honda’s execution on the HR-V, the BR-V’s infotainment system brightness is linked to the headlight control and not to the ambient light sensor. And with no override switch, the overly sensitive light sensor can render the infotainment screen close to unusable at times. For example, when passing under a MRT station, the headlights might turn on automatically while still keeping the instrument cluster on its “Day” brightness setting.
