It will be updating the WR-V into the BS6 avatar pretty soon before the deadline 1st April 2020. It was launched back in 2017 and since then it has not got any significant update. This time, however, we are expecting lots of cosmetic and engine upgrades. Let’s find out what all changes the upcoming Honda WR-V BS6 will possess.

Whereas the 1.5-litre diesel produces around 99 bhp of max power and 200 Nm peak torque. The engine is further mated with 6-speed manual transmission. However, we expect the BS6 model to have an automatic gearbox at least as an option.
