    “The second-generation BR-V aims to strengthen Honda’s model lineup to the next level. This all-new seven-seater ticks the right boxes in a family vehicle, it’s got the tough character of an SUV, advanced technology and safety features, power, and efficiency to deliver great satisfaction for both the driver and its passengers,” HCPI President Masahiko Nakamura.

    The 2023 Honda BR-V was first unveiled at the 8th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS) last September. The all-new model will be officially launched in the country on November 21.

    The 2023 Honda BR-V features a dynamic shape that looks sporty and edgy. Strong lines go from the front to the back of the body. The next-generation model commands an even stronger road presence, thanks to its increased ground clearance and new 17-inch alloy wheel design.

    HCPI has introduced two new colors for the 2023 Honda BR-V: Premium Opal White Silver Pearl (VX CVT and V CVT) and Meteoroid Grey Metallic. The 2023 Honda BR-V is also available in three other colors: Crystal Black Pearl (V CVT and S CVT), Lunar Silver Metallic, and Taffeta White (S CVT and S MT).
