2022 Honda BR-V driven in Indonesia - Is it better than the Xpander and Avanza? 01

Our colleagues at Autofun Indonesia recently got a chance to put the all-new 2022 Honda BR-V, in particular the range topping BR-V Prestige CVT with Honda Sensing through its paces.

Check out what they think of the all-new BR-V in the video below:

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1685525140735-0'); });

To recap, the all-new 2022 Honda BR-V made its global debut in Indonesia in September 2021, bringing with it an revamped exterior design, updated interior, and crucially improvements in safety levels.

The all-new Honda BR-V is the newest model to receive Honda’s new DOHC engine, replacing the long-serving SOHC unit that powered the first-generation model. 

The naturally-aspirated 1.5-litre DOHC petrol engine that also features in the current-generation Honda City outputs 121 PS and 145 Nm.

It can be mated either to a CVT or manual transmission, but we can expect the former to make it to Malaysia.

At long last, the Honda BR-V is available with six airbags, a massive step-up from the predecessor model’s paltry two airbags.

The all-new 2022 BR-V also finally gets Honda Sensing, which includes the following features:

  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
  • Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)
  • Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS)
  • Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS)
  • Auto High Beam (AHB)
  • Lead Car Departure Notification (LCDN) 

LCDN is the newest addition to teh Sensing suite which also features on the 2022 Honda Civic

Arvind can't remember a time when he didn't wheel around a HotWheels car. This love evolved into an interest in Tamiya and RC cars and finally the real deal 1:1 scale stuff. Passion finally lead to formal training in Mechanical Engineering. Instead of the bigger picture, he obsesses with the final drive ratio and spring rates of cars and spends the weekends wondering why a Perodua Myvi is so fast.
