I bought brv... Fantastic and amazing vehicle... Nice power...
Sumith Joice which model comes with paddle shifters and is it better then Renault Lodgy stepway
Sumith Joice only true care enthusiasts will buy Honda brv and understand the vtec petrol engine potential
Sumith Joice what makes you choose brv over civic? im torn between brv and civic
abdel aziz ibrahim brv is better than civic.. If they launch civic in india, they will mostly launch with the 1.8 idtec which is not good for spirited driving.. Go for the 1.5 ivtec petrol... #proudowner
Your cinematography makes the car looks much better than it actually is. :P
hats off guys.
*grins*
Issac Abraham hgggghhghhhhhjhhjhhjjj

Well 7 seat plus the Trust of Honda. Definitely going for BRv.
We hope that our first impression helped you out
Indeed it did.. and thanks for a straight to thevpoint review. Better than many others. Kudos !!

Sharing platform is onething, sharing all parts from 2 segment (price wise) lower variant is another thing. Honda is too keen on sharing most parts from Amaze. From Exterior point of view and practicality BRV is really good offering from Honda. But the interior - ICE system, Ac controller module are not at all positioned in proper alignment. The ICE itself looks super boring, so does the Climate control unit. And then comes the doorpad design, the central console (Running panels from dash to in between two seats) design is not at all well thought for an Urban SUV of 12.90 Lakhs. What Honda is trying to achieve here? Do they really think that the customer of top end diesel who is spending 14L on road, does not care about dash layout, door pad layout, ICE system, very skinny and thin central console running layout?
3 years Back - 2012 to early 2013 - Honda was an aspirational brand in INDIA and it deserved so with Accord, CRV, Civic, City, Jazz, and to some extent Brio (I sincerely believe Brio is a true Honda and only Brio is the tru Honda coming out of that platform).
And Honda thought lets milk The Brio platform with 60-70% part sharing, and now in 2016 people are bashing Honda and they deserve it. They are only doing crude business here, does not care about us - the customers - the HONDA fans. Else CITY and JAZZ would not have super skinny 175mm section tyre, Brio platform would not have given birth to BRV, Seatbelt sensing wire would not have dangled out in Mobilio, Central console of BRV wouldn't have been taken out from AMAZE rather CITY.
- A TRUE HONDA (NOT INDIAN-ised, but Global) FAN
Fully agree with your views about the dashboard.
Someone has clearly done his homework. Hoping on Honda reading this one out.
Blooper was awesome !!!
+RJ Hahahahahah! ;)
+PowerDrift song name please...
Addicted to your channel guys. The only complaint I have is, the wait of next video from Powerdrift. Just love each and every single review from you guys and as I said in my other comment....I tried watching other channels but I can't....your review is like weed to my mind. Awesome background music, awesome detailed review and now even the balance between voice and music has been taken care of perfectly. Wish I had more knowledge of automotive world so I could join you behind those cameras. Nice work guys. Huge fan ✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌
When you open a Powerdrift video and there's Rohan in his full glory doing what he does best. Amazing job as always! :D
Aye hey! Thanks Rohan :P
Saw the Blockbuster 5? bit.do/SimplyBeetle
Thanks Rohan for your Perfect presentation
(You actually do perfectly everytime)
The Team appreciates this :)
The sound. It is too much when Rohan isn't speaking. Like at 01:58 & too low when he is.
A little disturbance in the background traffic, horn etc. Rest is great! Doing great PD team! Looking forward to more reviews, specially in 30 - 40 L range cars.

What I believe that there should have been a BRV variant with 1.8 liter engine ... This way customers would have more wider range of selection
thanks rohan for the first drive:)
You're welcome,
Team PD
PowerDrift Glad to see Ten Hut back in the videos ! You're a great Reviewer . You and Sarge are what keeps me glued to Powerdrift. Equal Geniuses !
+Abhijeet Tandur Also do not forget the rest of the Team here!
PowerDrift Yes. A Brilliant Team. I like all of you guys Akash , Sharan , Varun and the list goes 😅
Great review Tenhut. ... I watched almost all reviews for BRV and nothing gave such close and detailed camera angles of interiors.Actually it better than one on Honda's website.Let me get test drive.
Does this go in your shopping list?
No , I felt underwhelmed on seeing it in real life. Its just a Mobilio that quit dieting after getting married.
The video is very well made!! And very good review!! Autocar will be jealous!!
Changing the Indian motoring scene. One video at a time!
good to see Tenhut back as chief Tester!!!
That's how he rolls!
Finally you are back !!! Time to tune to power drift again..Welcome back Rohan!!!!..
Wohoo. Did you catch the Mercedes AMG GT S drive? ruclips.net/video/pvlPny9RRwk/видео.html
It was such a relief to see Rohan come back.
He was never gone :D
Good to see TenHut back again
:D Mercedes AMG GT S first impressions? ruclips.net/video/pvlPny9RRwk/видео.html
Happy to See Tenhut Back..
We Really love the way you present the video
The Team appreciates that :)
hii.......liked the review....of brv........if possible .....could u guide.......me .....which car to buy.....as from tmrw onwards......i will be test driving the cars.......specially .....elite i 20 1.4 crdi......honda jazz or amaze.....etc......waiting you guys to reply.....
Anything yet?
"With armrest being my backrest & having no headrest" hahahha liked it. Overall a short & sweet video. Awaiting a complete review!!
It seems underthigh support is not good in second row (looked at 4:14). In the market for a genuine 7-seater. Would help a lot if you can do a comparo with Lodgy/Ertiga/Mobilio. Comparing with Creta/Duster/Ecosport does not make sense as, to me, only buyers interested in a genuine 7 seater (Not jumpseats ones) would go for these MPVs.
Aye Captain! We hear you. Shall try to get a mega comparo done.
power drift plz tell me is the diesel engine of brv is noiseee after we take the pickup to the car
Tenhut!! Good to see you back..
Ten Hut says, 'it's great to be back!'
We've been missing you man ! @Rohan
Saw this? ruclips.net/video/pvlPny9RRwk/видео.html
Happy to see Ten hut back !
Good review too !
Thank you Rahul, on behalf of Team PowerDrift!

your style just adds to my long born desire to be an automobile journalist!!
Keep us inspired just this way!!!😃
Rhymes pretty good 4:54.
Rohan aka coolest guy...thanks for coming back...one like from me
One share too?
It's peaceful to see ten hut reviewing cars 😇
Level: Buddha unlocked? :P
Sorry to be writing this, but this review was not upto what I have come to expect of PowerDrift. First things first, the reviewer was not his usual self, very boring in his presentation. The paddle shifts in the automatic were not mentioned, the middle row sliding seats were not mentioned and the boot was not shown.
+Arun Rajkumar Car itself was really boring with nothing much to offer, Ten Hut might have got bored and . . . u know this video happened . :D :D
Hey Arun, thank you for your feedback! We shall surely work on this and hope to see a positive comment from your end the next time around :)
Middle row sliding he mentioned. But ten huts usual energy was missing. He not seemed impressed with the car.
good to see you after a looooong time comrade Rohan!
:)
Wow my favourite host #tenhut is back!!😍
+karthik sk How could he be gone? ;)
First of all amazing video but I was expecting to see the leg room in the third row and also the truck space... Apart from that keep it up guys... Great job as always!!!
finally you gyzz did it.!.!
waiting form last some days.!.!
Worth the wait, we hope!
Oh Mr. Hut with new name, nice 🤔. It's always pleasure to watch PD videos. What makes yr videos different from others is the way y present it. Nice job guys as always. Thxs. Mr. Hut aka Rohan 😉 for fantastic presentation powerdrift style
Rohan and Team PD says, Thank You! :)
At last sensible review by powerdrift.. had headache after watching Toyota review.. all happy now ;)
Right in the feels!
Is it going to be discontinued?
tremendous insight , very professional review
Amazing video guys
Good work
You might just like this one even more: bit.do/SimplyBeetle
Good evening PD army!!
Cheers to Udaipur!! 👍🏼😎
+bhargav katakkar What a fantastic experience it was. Cannot wait to get back there, with more team members we say.
long time no see TENHUT ...Welcome back
Gr8 review as usual..Keep on going
+DeceptionInDisguise First Drive as we would like to call it! A review is in the waiting!
After so many time , good to watch you tenhut with good review
One time, two time, three time.
Does it really horrible in terms of nvh levels? I mean what you think does it really unacceptable & the nvh should be consider as deal breaker? some people says that it sounds very loud.
I love the jazz n want to buy idtech vx trim, please suggest me yaar.
great going power drift good luck form your fan from udaipur would have loved to see you here but let's see maybe next time :)
Maybe if we have the next #PDArmy meet in Udaipur, we'll let you know!
+PowerDrift thanks guys for noticing me 😆
good camera art and vdo editing
Like and Share the video then! What are you waiting for?
finally hero of power drift appeared
+Akash Singh You mean the Team? ;)

That's really nice. Rohan dada suggests you keep up this kind of support for all our videos though :P
would you recommend this over ford ecosport?
Hi there....could you please tell me the i-Dtec rpm in 6th gear when the vehicle is doing 120 km an hour....thank you
Hey Pax, we had very little time with the car and hence could not test it extensively but we shall get that covered in the full review.
Cheers from delhi! 😎👍🏻
+Darpan Sharma Cheers! #LikeAndShare
Fantastic review 😎😄😄😄
rohan sir a precise and a phenominal review by your side
Rohan says thank you, Viraj! Stay Tuned!
Is the car legging when all seat are in use means a big body on 1.5L engine is it okay or any problem in engine???
And what would be it's top speed?
Yet to test a lot of things which we could not during the first drive. :)
Is the BR V going to have a 4wd version??
There is no official word on that front!
you guys are way better than autocar ....keep it up guys . Lots of love :D
+ubuntu0017 Gee thank you :) While that is not our objective, but we shall take it as a compliment!
clean and classy are the words I would pick for your review. you are just flawless in your hosting brother..hope u continue to do more stuff like this..and...I guess UR VIDEOS MUST BE MADE STANDARD to speak about QUALITY and INNOVATIVE taking...thumbs up and shared ahead( v know the drill and v do it all time..)
Haha, wow! Thanks a bunch Nagarjun. We really appreciate it.
Nice music in the end 😂
+Hemant Singla Ba dum tssshh!
+PowerDrift 😂
PowerDrift guys I really want you to make a full review video on maruti baleno, as promised.
+Hemant Singla Can you tell me the name of the song ?
+PowerDrift that was the real localisation :P
Rohan sir you're a master at crafting these videos....youre style is absolutely unique of making videos...please give some insights on the upcoming Honda Cars like the CRV & Civic.
Wish powerdrift do a long term review of Honda BR-V & Hyundai Creta...
For Creta, why not check this out - ruclips.net/video/gmpf0xlEnlM/видео.html
and we can review the BRV once we get the media car from Honda. Do stay tuned for more motoring updates.
thank god rohan returned
:D Saw the Mercedes AMG GT S? ruclips.net/video/pvlPny9RRwk/видео.html
which one is beter?? brv or creta (disel)
Finally Tenhut
:D
Do not know why people complain about the noise of an diesel engine??
Diesel engines!! Yes. They are always noisy. Actually they must and should be NOISY. The roar of the engine signifies It's power and anger in it. We as a mechanical engineers love the smell of heat and noise coming out of the engine!!!
lol ok
+santosh kumar oh really...?You should really check the refinement levels of crdi units from Hyundai(not sure about 1.1 versions ,but definitely the 1.4 and 1.6 ).
That calls for an interesting debate.
I love this man. His accent and the voice modulation is damn good. I always watch power drift just for u
What about the leg room in the 3rd row?
Isn't all that crammed up!
great review guys..... enjoyed watching it.... keep up the gud work
+dshiningsword This was just a First Drive comrade. Yet to lay our hands on the BRV for a comprehensive review :)
I considering to buy XUV W10 in the end of this year... had look to few other options XUV500 seems to tick all the boxes.... just worried about reliability as many people complaint above feature n stuff also about Mahindra's customer service..... any comment?
That's the plan! Thanks comrade.
people here will probably watch Rohan talk on anything. you rock +PowerDrift
+Sanmaan Bodake Having said that, did you miss out on our small podcast yesterday!
+PowerDrift shit! yes :( link please?
Good work as always. Eagerly waiting to see your website unveiling.
+Ravishankar R The countdown has begun!
It uses engine of city which is quiet fast but is brv fast and capable if higher speeds?
I just love the front end
We agree.
You camera work is so brilliant its looking and feeling like Prado...haha
The Tantalizing plot details make my Day @Pdarmy
which is best honda city or honda brv??
What colour is this? Taffeta white or orchid white pearl!?
Finally MR perfectionist is back..after so long....Seriously ENJOYED..!! ;)
Good to hear that! #StayTuned for more
Good Move by Honda this time around, Good Luck Team Honda
:)
Another Great Vid guys... BRV - New kid on the block! Waiting for a detailed review.
Ps: Can u guys please review the new Ford Endeavour? Would love to see Power Drift's view on that.
Here you go - ruclips.net/video/3uSWGAU6x7o/видео.html
y u didn't say about third row comforts ? is it comfort or not in third row...plz comment
Sigh! Time ran out that day but be assured everything shall be covered in our full review.
Reviewing rear seat is a plus point
Thumbs up to that!
confused between BRV and Lodgy stepway which one is the best
Here's our take on the Lodgy - ruclips.net/video/vAILDPKgMjc/видео.html
PowerDrift I had seen that video sir but is it ok to buy Lodgy stepway instead of BRV any quality issues or something I don't know Renault very well that's y please reply
Plz cmnt abt d mileage on petrol varient
You did not mention the knee-room in the third row and the underthigh support. Would also be nice if you could also throw in the accessibility to the third row part in your answer :)
Thanks in advance.
We shall have that covered in our full review :)
i just love rohan albals ' achoring .... one of the reasons I see none of the other reviews
Hey thanks so much for the kind words, Arghadip! Why not check this out too - ruclips.net/video/OXwbBzDn3J0/видео.html
sir which place is this
KHURSHID SIDDIQUI Udaipur , Rajasthan
Abhishek Singh I know that but confused bcoz almost similar location I have seen in Manikpur (UP) at the end of video
Ohhh... No issues
HONDA simply does'nt learn from their mistakes. It should have been a Genuine 5 Seater with more aggressive styling in rear. Touch Screen Navigation with Reverse Parking Camera is a must in this segment. Parking will be really difficult in Congested Metro Cities!!
+Arnov Sarkar We agree about the reverse parking camera! That is something they shouldn't have missed!
Is the new Ertiga better in terms of ride and handling, engine performance than the Honda BRV? Pls advise
Would have been helpful if the boot space was shown.
Apologies there. we had very little time with the car as this was a First Drive event.
The comprehensive review is yet to happen.
is it the best against its competitors? if not then which is?
A comparo is yet to happen comrade!
+PowerDrift when is happening??
What about the perfomance?
What about it?
bro: this Honda brv available in India ?
Hey Rohan i am ur fan dude the way you express all the details thanks man u made me expert😊😊about cars
Glad to know that Dev!
Just love the back end.....for me gives much of an Acura look to it.
The Acura? Now we talking!
great review but isn't ertiga better ?
We don't know that yet but shall have a clear answer when we end up doing a comparo of the two vehicles!
