Although not the most conventional sub-compact SUV, the WR-V fits into this segment because of its size and its pricing. So it rivals the likes of the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Ford Ecosport and Mahindra XUV300. Honda has rationalized the variant lineup of the WR-V and the VX variants of the WR-V are significantly cheaper than the top-spec variants of other models. It also comes with a fair amount of high-end kit too. Also, the base SV variant is plenty equipped for its price with features equivalent to mid-spec variants of other models. So Honda has made a pretty good case with the new WR-V.
