- Honda popularized the idea of turning a B-segment MPV into a 7-seater B-SUV when they launched the BR-V in 2016. Now they have the all-new 2023 Honda BR-V in a variety of trim levels, including this range topping 2023 BR-V 1.5 VX with Honda Sensing. Does it make sense at its price range? Our EIC takes one for a few days to find out.

You review is very simple and very comprehensive straight forward. Very nice review, very informative. Thank you sir
Great Review! Subscribed.
Does it have blind spot alarm? Rear Traffic alarm? Pre collision feature?, auto hi beam?
Have they fixed the dark rear camera problem?
Meron akong V variant kakakuha lang last week..walang regret kc sobrang gaan at comfortable i drive..nspansin ko sa daan lahat nang expander driver nakatitig sa BRV ko ewan ko kung anong meron..😄😄😄😄
Overpriced Yung expander .
Ganun naman talaga kapag bagong model, syempre sisioatin mo sa actual lalo na kung first time mo nakita. I’m sure ginagawa mo rin yun.
😮😮😮wow it,s very beautiful at lalong napaka pogi Ng bagong Honda BRV
Thanks for this comprehensive video. I'm kinda nitpicking. At that price point, they should have included a power tailgate. I have a 2018 BRV and one feature I wished the vehicle had was a power tailgate. It's gonna be useful during weekend grocery runs.
For me its the absence of electronic parking brake, which is present on its totl competitors. its absence also makes low speed follow missing from its honda sensing suite.
@@fullbass1426 EPB isn't that practical as it's troublesome to repair when it's broken.
@@KuchingKingVideoGamer the comfort it will provide will justify the price once it breaks. Nowadays people buy cars for the convenience it will offer at the present times.
This is pricey for all it’s worth.
I uaed to have a 2015 HR-V... the EPB was replaced under warranty, but if no warranty, it costs 100k to replace. I'd rather have a manual old-school handbrake anytime... really convenient and easy to use especially in an emergency.
Hi Sir good day, favor just to ask, what’s your actual experience using ACC with BR-V VX?
if I’m not mistaken the minimum speed is 40km and above in order to use ACC,
what’s your actual experience if any when the car in front of you suddenly stopped unexpectedly?
Thank you Sir 😊🙏
I already test drove the VX just yesterday. The car will slow down and alert you to apply the brakes. If you don't, then it will stop by itself.
I would go with veloz sana kaso ewan no disrespect parang pang uv kasi ewan lang saka msyado mababa. Siguro to boost my confidence i would go with the brv xv in the mpv segment😊
Any plans to review the manual variant?
If there's a unit, sure. Unfortunately carmakers don't often activate manual test cars unless it's a business model (e.g. Traviz) or a sports model (e.g. GR Yaris).
Does the Philippine version have overhead AC for the rear seats?
Yeah
mas bet ko design ng jazz (except its latest one prior to its end of production here) pwera sa presyo nitong pangMPV category na
Isn't the missing Electronic Handbrake and Auto Brake Hold bothersome to you? I don't get the fact that it has Honda Sensing but not even those basic features!
Same. Solely for this reason i’m passing on the BRV. Shame, as I would prefer to stay with Honda.
@@darthrenny whatre you getting instead
@@TechCrawl probably the veloz. Best combination of features plus toyota reliability
The electronic park (not hand) brake and auto hold are not basic features. It's a fancy replacement for the proven and reliable pull-up handbrake and foot pedal brake.
I'm actually glad it uses the old school handbrake which is easier and intuitive to use and less of a concern when it comes to maintainance. I have a car with the electronic park brake and I often find myself looking down to look for it. The pull-up handbrake you don't need to look for it.
Honda Sensing provides more value in terms of safety.
@@jojopaderes have you tried driving a car with auto brake hold?
What do you suggest on which BR-V to get?
VX if you can afford it.
BRV vs Xpander vs Veloz top of the line cars, which is best?
Veloz is almost perfect but the nvh is terrible which is a deal breaker for me since I really wanted a stress free out of town weekend drive.
Veloz all day everyday 😁
What function of paddle shifter?
in case you want to have manual control over vehicle's speed/acceleration similar to a manual transmission. Would be useful for crawling traffic, steep roads, off-road terrain.
Guys give consideration on mileage, with the cost of gasoline now.. Figure it out.
@ almost 1.4m already, it's not a compelling 7-seater MPV purchase anymore.
I love the new brv but it’s too expensive now, I’d rather buy a secondhand 2019 top spec Honda CR-V check nyo sa mp nasa 1.2 or 1.3M na lang din ang crv same price sa new brv.
At first, I believed that this will be a better MPV than the Stargazer. If we're not gonna look at the badges tho, the former is a better car overall. The one thing that irritates me for all BRV variants is the lack of Telescopic steering adjustment whereas the competition already has such thing even years ago with the Xpander alone. The lack of cruise control for the lower V and S variants is another bummer here, a standard cruise control unit would've been a treat for families who are also into long drives but doesn't have the budget for a whopping 1.390M VX model.
With that said, I still think the BRV is miles better in terms of looks especially with the interior vs the Stargazer and still something I'd choose over a Veloz. Over an Xpander tho? Probably not, especially how the Mitsu manages to be a better all-rounder than this.
Pretty difficult to justify Mitsubishi's price point these days. Their short list of features is absurd given the competition. Would it really kill their profitablity to give the Xpander 4 more airbags...?
looks is subjective though... BRV looks way better outside than the stargazer, but i'll give the interior to the stargazer... the stargazer is of better value too... i had the VX on my shortlist until i saw the interior personally...
@@nuj0624 I don't disagree. Spec wise the Stargazer is the clear winner between it and the Xpander, but this is only on paper. I'm going to be seeing the vehicle in person sometime soon...if the interior becomes a dealkbreaker, waiting on the Xpander Cross to come to our shores is the next thing to do.
@@inzane456 i think i may just be nitpicking on the BRV VX, i was expecting better materials used and interior layout at that price... on a positive note, the legroom is good on the new BRV... prob comfortable enough for an hour or 2 on whoevers sitting on the 3rd row...
@@nuj0624 I don't think you're nitpicking, there is definitely alot to be improved when it comes to Honda's interior design and overall quality. I have noticed across all their cars everywhere, they are not necessarily well regarded in the area of interiors. Toyota has the expertise of Lexus, Mazda is transitioning into a luxury brand, Nissan and Mitsubishi have Infiniti and Renault, Hyundai and Kia have Genesis. Honda has Acura, but Acura is just a higher end Honda performance badge if we're gonna be honest. I agree and think your opinion on the matter of their interior is quite appropriate.
Shit, just a few years ago you could get a mid range HRV at this price.
Its sensing is amazing. However, its very expensive.
Yes Honda Sensing really does work. But yeah, expensive. But if it is able to prevent even just one collision accident, then it's worth it.
I now understand why they removed the honda civic S variant.
They did???????? 😮
@@fullbass1426 yes, go check your nearest honda dealership
Civic S is still available in the local market
They just forgot one lesson though proper pricing vs spec. Plus that center air vents,UGLY
this? veLoz, or xpander?
Veloz overall including the price..your welcome
Stargazer.
@@inzane456 why
@@rinnegan04 Spec wise it's 2nd best in class for engine output lacking only 1nm of torque from the BR-V and mostly, it's the full safety package with 6 airbags and electronic safety features.
@@inzane456 i see, thank you
Definitely its very competitable car among his competitor in the market. The Veloz, Everest, territory and expander got a big problem
The whaaaaaat???
Not really, brv is overpriced! 😂
Nope
Certainly in terms of performance. Veloz with a body that's almost as big as Innova already but only making 104 hp makes me worried about it when climbing uphills, and same is true with others that have similar engine horsepower. Not to mention Veloz's very thin exterior materials that are also quite easy to break compared to others. And yes, fuel efficiency too.
I could forego an EPB and power tailgate if it means I could confidently climb uphills fully-loaded without any problem than to have those fancy features but fail at the most important role of a vehicle - to bring me everywhere I want to go.
BRV is still taller than the Avanza, Expander, even the CRV and Creta. It has more ground clearance than any of the aforementioned. So no sense in that comment.
In my opinion, veloz offer better than this one. Veloz's interior feels more premium and sophisticated, the only thing I wish Veloz has is the cruise control, but over all, I think that Veloz is better.
Underwhelming for Php1.39M 😞
that cost would be reduced when you consider that out of all its competitors, it is the most fuel efficient
well it’s a Honda
Not compelling. You can get all that with the xpamder and avamza midtier variant for way less
Except the BRV can easily climb up the steep roads of Baguio fully-loaded without any problem, whereas I don’t feel anything confident doing the same thing with those severely underpowered 104 Hp engines.
@@troy5568 The BRV has 119HP engine. Not much diff.
Dahil sa price ng brv, either xpander or rush lang pinagpipilian ng future buyers hahaha. Xpander and rush madalas makita sa daan.
honda was never known for a budget buy
hindi naman kasi pang masa ang honda. kung wala ka pambili hindi ikaw ang target buyer nila
Isa ka na sa HINDI target ng Honda. 😂
@@siklistapakster3442 sure. Pang innova na price lol.
@@hawkeye1921Kesa naman sa Veloz na almost Innova ang size pero 104 hp lang ang kaya, lol. Goodluck sa akyatan sa baguio, kung kaya man niyan umakyat dun nang punuan hahahaha.
Pangit lang dito yung likod. Parang minadali
Hrv base model is a better car
Thats why they are increasing hrv s price... this brv wont sell if they dont...
But still its a seven seater!
HRV is 5 seater, non sense comparing it to 7 seater BRV
HRV S isn't a good buy anymore as it's now more expensive
@@KuchingKingVideoGamer with the base getting to almost 1.4M... yes... but as ASR said, still a better "car" though...
