Honda introduces the all-new BR-V seven-door crossover at Malaysia. The said event was held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention and Exhibition Center. As stated earlier, the Honda BR-V crossover boasts its maximum capacity to seven passengers, 2 in front, 3 in the middle and then another 2 at the back.
The all-new Honda BR-V, deemed as a new generation crossover masterpiece from the Japanese car maker, is powered by a 1.5-liter engine. That sounds quite small for a large capacity vehicle but it still delivers enough power and at the same time provides comfort to its passengers. The engine runs on petrol and no word has been released if a diesel version is coming.
The Honda BR-V will come with E and V variants which cost roughly $19,100 and $20,600 respectively. Honda sets their Malaysian sales target to 800 units monthly. At a $20,000 range, this should be not difficult to attain.

They believe it still would be a diverse market with substantial spending power, in a sense, they believe that it still has potential growth.
