The latest car to join the niche cross-hatch segment is Honda’s new Jazz-based WR-V.

Dimensions

To look more like an SUV, Honda has made the WR-V taller at 1601mm. The i20 Active is wider though and boasts the maximum wheelbase here, which might indicate that it is the most spacious of them all. All three cars sport the same 16-inch alloy wheels; the Urban Cross though has the widest tyres.

Honda's newly released crosshatch, the Honda WR-V, will go up against the likes of Hyundai’s i20 Active and Fiat’s Urban Cross. It’s got a longer wheelbase and makes more power than the Jazz. So, where does it stand compared to its rivals. 

Engine and Transmission

The WR-V shares the same 1.2-litre iVTEC petrol and the 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel as the Jazz. The Urban Cross comes with a turbocharged T-Jet engine, so it’s a slightly pricey purchase. The i20 Active is in the same umbrella as the WR-V when it comes to engine power.

Petrol Engine

As far as price is concerned, the WR-V is easy the costliest. Priced between a sweet Rs. 7.75 lakh to 8.99 lakh. The car also offers new features to match the high price such as a sunroof and cruise control. The i20 Active comes in three trims, with the base and top-trim priced lower than the WR-V.

Here's a look at the ex-showroom, Delhi prices for the Honda WR-V and its rivals.
