Honda WR-V is sold in three variants. Type E was chosen as the cheapest trim at IDR 271.9 million. Only one CVT transmission option. Rp. 28 million more affordable than the most expensive type, of course there is a reduction in features. Obviously Honda Sensing doesn't exist. But are other equipment relatively minimal?
Visually easy to distinguish. Interestingly, this type has a special color option called Taffeta White, in addition to the two general colors Crystal Black Pearl and Meteoroid Gray Metallic. This adds an exclusive impression to the lowest variant. Regarding completeness, the lighting sector still relies on halogens. Practically the auto high beam function is not tucked in. However, the fog lamp that is embedded in the bumper has diode technology.
Slide it to the side of the body, the mirrors are integrated with LED turn signals, although they can't fold automatically. Not really a problem. The legs are reinforced with 16-inch rims. Smaller indeed than the top type. He was clad in tires with a profile of 215/60. The configuration still allows the car to pass through various road conditions, because the ground clearance is still high.
While braking uses a disc for the front, unfortunately it's still drumming at the back. However, this is actually enough. Suspension system in the form of Macpherson Strut at the front and H-Shaped Torsion Beam at the rear. A model Honda often uses for its portfolio.
Entering the cabin is easy thanks to Keyless Entry. This device is of course combined with the engine ignition system via a button or One Push Ignition System. The interior arrangement is not much different from the highest variant. The instrument panel is not a high-detail digital model, but an analog combined Multi Information Display.
The 7-inch model head unit is embedded in the dashboard. It has all the multimedia equipment including connectivity to smartphones, only minus the Honda LaneWatch. In order to maintain sound quality, 4 speakers are embedded throughout the cabin area, not 6 as in the RS or Honda Sensing RS types. Audio settings can also be made via the buttons on the steering wheel along with phone controls. Then the button model AC settings with a digital screen without the Auto function.
Interestingly here, the Honda WR-V Type E is in fact also equipped with Remote Engine Start. You can start the car remotely using the remote. The goal, apart from heating up the car, also activates the air conditioning to make the cabin conditions more comfortable when entered.
All passengers are pampered upholstered seats cloth. These materials can also be found in several areas. This is still the addition of power outlets in both the first and second rows, making it easier for users to charge gadgets.
There is no difference in specification data. Still using the 1.5 liter DOHC naturally-aspirated i-VTEC setting. It is capable of producing 121 PS of power at 6.00 rpm and 145 Nm of torque at 4,300 rpm. All energy is channeled to the front wheels through a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) transmission system that offers smooth gearshifts.
Lastly, the features of both comfort and safety. The number of airbags is reduced by 2 from the RS type. Makes 4 pieces on the front and sides. Three-point type safety belt. Other standard equipment in the form of Hill Start Assist, Vehicle Stability Assist, Emergency Stop Signal, Brake Override System, ISOFIX & Tether, 2-point parking sensors reinforced by a rear camera with multi-angle view settings, as well as an immobilizer and alarm system.
Overall the lowest variant of the Honda WR-V has very sufficient equipment. With a tag like that it seems interesting to be an option. Especially for those of you who feel you still don't need a semi-autonomous active safety device.
