Honda teases new 2020 WR-V facelift ahead of launch on July 2
Honda is all geared-up to launch the WR-V facelift in India next week on July 2. The cross-hatch was earlier scheduled to be launched in June, but had to be pushed back due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Ahead of the launch, the carmaker took to social media to give us a glimpse of the new-look 2020 WR-V.
On the outside, the new facelifted Honda WR-V features a tweaked radiator grille, new LED projector head lamps, and updated C-shaped LED tail lights. Its cabin updates include 7.0-inch Digipad 2.0 touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and sat-nav, 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, electric sunroof and dual-front airbags.
