Unlike the facelifted Jazz which will come in a sole petrol engine, the 2020 Honda WR-V facelift will carry forward the 1.5L oil burner along with the petrol. It is because Honda has confirmed that the crossover is equally popular in both petrol and diesel engines among buyers! Now, here are some few of the changes the crossover will come with -
Updated Exteriors
With every facelift, the cosmetics of the car are changed and WR-V is no exception. The front profile gets a new grille which gets integrated into the projector headlights with LED DRLs (Daytime Running Lights). It now also gets a new bumper design and the front now looks more upmarket than the discontinued version.
