Honda has made a significant move by unveiling the distinctive BR-V N7X Edition at the ongoing IIMS 2024, featuring exclusive styling enhancements that distinguish it from the base S trim and any manual transmission variants.
The All New Honda BR-V N7X Edition
The revamped Honda BR-V, once a notable presence in the Indian market, was discontinued due to dwindling sales. However, it continues to thrive in select ASEAN markets. Initially launched in 2021 as part of the new generation BR-V series, the N7X Edition builds upon the success of its predecessor. The second generation BR V, built on the Amaze platform has undergone enhancements to address design flaws found in its predecessor.
While maintaining a shape the new BR V now showcases a more distinct SUV look aiming to resolve the mixed opinions linked to its earlier version. The front end displays a sturdier and flatter design, coupled with a sleeker hood and the removal of the unique window line bend. Moving to the back the vehicle sports tail lights that evoke memories of the Gen City sedan adding sophistication to its appearance. Inside the BR V N7X Edition shares features, with the current Amaze model.
Some standout elements of the Honda BR-V N7X Edition include a chrome grille featuring the N7X Edition emblem eye-catching LED headlights with DRLs, power retractable ORVMs with LED indicators black door handles, 17-inch black finished alloy wheels, black side accents, black shark fin antenna, dark chrome BR V badging and an all-black interior with silver accents, in the CVT variant.
The 2024 Honda BR-V N7X Edition is offered in three trims: E CVT, Prestige CVT, and Prestige Sensing CVT. Starting at IDR 319.4 million (about ₹17 lakhs) the BR-V N7X Edition showcases the Sand Khaki Pearl as its standout color. In Indonesia this model comes with a 1.5L DOHC I VTEC engine that produces 121 PS of power and 145 Nm of torque paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT.
Notably, the base S trim does not offer the N7X Edition kit, and the Honda Sensing ADAS suite is exclusive to the top-spec trim. In a shifting automotive landscape where SUVs and MPVs are gaining traction, it remains to be seen if Honda will reconsider introducing the BR-V in India, potentially rivaling popular models like the Maruti Ertiga, XL6, and Kia Carens.
