Base doesn’t have to mean basic
It’s been years since the all-new Honda BR-V made a splash in the local market. It was leap forward compared to its predecessor in terms of, well, everything. It rode better, drove better, had more space, and simply put, evolved in the right way.
It’s a neat and inoffensive blend of form and function in terms of its exterior. That’s particularly evident at the rear with its wide tailgate with a low opening. It’s a simple thing but it makes loading items in and out much easier. Those roof rails aren’t just for aesthetics, it’s actually load bearing.We’ll get one thing out of the way first. There’s hard plastic everywhere. That’s not totally a bad thing though as it’s par for the course in its class.
The same goes for cargo space. Grocery runs and loading it with baby needs prove little challenge to the BR-V. Baby strollers, pasalubongs, and other things can easily be swallowed up by the cargo bay.Like in all subcompact Hondas, the BR-V uses the familiar 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine. Power is unchanged from other models, so it still makes 119hp and 145Nm of torque. A six-speed manual is available, but what’s fitted here is a continuously variable transmission.
As for ride, it’s best described as supple. It’s not pillowy soft, but it’s not crashy, either. It soaks up the bumps well enough to keep a level ride, although you do feel the road imperfections from time to time. But where the BR-V excels is in body control. Take a speed bump diagonally and it does a great job of resisting lateral motions and keeps unnecessary movement at bay.Yes, it’s a base model, but it has everything the modern car shopper expects from a brand-new car these days.
