Honda India halts BR-V Production due to COVID-19

The BR-V is a versatile 7-seater compact SUV and is a core model in Honda Motor Southern Africa's local line-up


Honda India has announced the immediate cessation production of the BR-V. The BR-V is a versatile 7-seater compact SUV and is a core model in Honda Motor Southern Africa’s local line-up.

Speaking on the announcement, Dinesh Govender, General Manager for Honda SA, said: “Honda Motor Southern Africa has no plans to discontinue the BR-V and is currently securing sufficient stock of the BR-V from India while the alternate factory is being set up for production.

“The BR-V remains one of our pillar models in the local line-up, and is currently the only seven-seater sport utility vehicle (SUV) in its price class. This affords the BR-V a significant advantage over its competitors, and consistently makes it one of our top two best-sellers in South Africa along with the Honda Amaze compact sedan.”

The BR-V sport utility vehicle (SUV) range for 2020 recently introduced subtle changes to the interior and exterior design which enhance its styling and functionality. Improvements have also been made to the on-road drivability and comfort of this practical, family orientated SUV.

All BR-V models come standard with a five-year/200 000 km warranty, and three-year AA Roadside Assist. A new four-year/60 000 km extended service plan is included on the Honda BR-V Comfort and Elegance models, and is available as an option on the Trend. Service intervals are every 15 000 km.
