First things first, Honda makes it very clear that the BR-V is a crossover Utility Vehicle and not a compact SUV. Although based on the Brio platform, the BR-V appears a whole order of magnitude more solid and upright. The front has a very muscular and SUV-ish look, thanks to the squared-off styling, angular headlamps with projectors, chunky two-part grille and well-sculpted bumper.The BR-V gets an all-black dashboard similar to the Jazz. Real knobs and buttons are missing as the centre console gets touch sensitive panels for climate control. The test car being a prototype, it just had a plastic panel instead of the infotainment system. Although there’s no official confirmation from Honda, rumour has it that the BR-V will get a touchscreen infotainment system as seen on the Indonesian spec product. Steering mounted controls were missing in the prototype, too.
