The Honda BR-V delivers a range of fuel consumption figures depending on the variant, engine, transmission, and driving conditions. In official fuel economy tests conducted by Honda Philippines, the 1.5 V CVT variant achieved 24.71 kilometers per liter under controlled conditions, while the top-of-the-line 1.5 VX CVT registered 23.49 km/l, and the 1.5 S CVT achieved 22.62 km/l. These figures were obtained over a 128-kilometer run at steady speeds of 70-80 km/h, without cruise control and minimal air conditioning use[1].
For the Indian market, ARAI-certified mileage for the diesel manual variant is 21.9 km/l, while the petrol manual delivers 15.39 km/l and the petrol automatic offers 16.0 km/l[2][3][4]. Real-world fuel consumption can be lower, particularly in city driving, where consumption figures of around 11 km/l have been reported in the Philippines under mixed traffic conditions, with a single occupant and average speeds of 40 km/h[5]. In even heavier traffic or with more passengers, consumption below 10 km/l in the city has been reported by owners[7].
Overall, the Honda BR-V’s fuel economy varies as follows:
- Petrol Manual: 15.39 km/l (ARAI)
- Petrol CVT (Automatic): 16.0 km/l (ARAI)
- Diesel Manual: 21.9 km/l (ARAI)
- Actual Highway (Philippines): Up to 24.7 km/l (manufacturer test)
- City/Tested (Philippines): 11 km/l (typical)
- City/Owner Reported: Less than 10 km/l in some cases
Note: Real-world figures depend on driving style, traffic, load, and climate conditions.
