As per the pictures from QuatroRodas Brasil we have come across a few new renderings of the upcoming Honda WR-V, which will be a Jazz-based crossover. This new model is mostly expected to be introduced by the car-maker during the 2016 Sao Paulo Auto Show in November, what makes it more interesting for the Indian auto enthusiasts is the fact that this new jazz based crossover is rumoured to be in the pipeline for the Indian automobile market in 2017.

The company will drop off its “Fit Twist” nameplate for “WR-V”, so that the new model can stay away from the regular Honda fit/jazz. Honda will be giving WR-V a unique identity unlike its previous models which looked like a Honda Fit with rugged accessories. However there are certain features seen on the new WR-V that reminds us that this new car is based on the Fit, tail lamps and glasshouse design are a few to name.

Honda will offer the WR-V with a 1.5-litre i-VTEC FlexOne engine from the Fit, mated to either a 5-speed manual or a CVT unit. This engine develops a maximum power of 115 hp (petrol)/116 hp (ethanol) and 149 Nm (petrol)/150 Nm (ethanol) of torque in Fit. As per reports the wheelbase measures 2.60 meters long, this is 50 mm longer than the hatchback. Honda has recently made the grand launch of its seven seater SUV model BR-V to the Indian market; the Indian automobile market can expect WR-V by 2017.
