The 2023 Honda WR-V was launched in Indonesia on Nov. 2, 2022 and is poised to take on segment leaders like the Toyota Raize.
It shares the same platform as the all-new Honda BR-V, which launches locally on Nov. 21, 2022, and slots under the larger HR-V crossover.
Here are some more photos of Honda Cars' newest baby, courtesy of our friends at AutoFun Indonesia who attended the launch.
The dash is what you would expect out of a Honda – a sensible layout with a few design flourishes.
For the Indonesian-market WR-V, neat touches like red accents emphasize the large insert on the passenger-side dashboard.
The air-conditioning vents that sit right at the top of the dash also complement the climate controls, which also have pointed edges.
The WR-V may have a raked rear windshield, but there seems to be ample room for a subcompact crossover.
The top-spec RS model on display at the Indonesian launch also has flourishes like red stitching.
Open up the rear hatch and you find a good-sized opening with a fairly high load lip.
With the 60/40 split-folding rear seats up, Honda said you get 380 liters of cargo space.
Our Indonesian colleagues were also able to try out the all-new WR-V on the road.
In the sunlight, you can really see the design features of the crossover more clearly, such as the hidden rear door handles and the 17-inch alloy wheels on the RS.
The WR-V is also markedly smaller than the HR-V, which should make the former easier to maneuver and park.
Do you think Honda Cars Philippines Inc. should launch the WR-V here?
