Under the hood, the BS6 powertrains are likely to be the existing 1.5-litre diesel and 1.2-litre petrol engines with a BS6 upgrade. The current diesel mill produces 100PS and 200Nm, whereas the petrol engine delivers 90PS and 110Nm. The petrol engine is coupled with a 5-speed manual gearbox while the diesel engine comes paired to a 6-speed manual. Expect similar performance figures to feature in the updated WR-V.

The BS6 WR-V facelift is likely to carry a premium over the BS4 WR-V that is priced from Rs 8.08 lakh to Rs 10.48 lakh (ex-showroom, India). Honda has yet to reveal a launch date for the SUV, but we expect it to happen in April post the 2020 Honda City debut. Post launch, it will take on the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon and Ford EcoSport.
