In its statement, HCPI announced that the BR-V, together with the City, will now be produced in the country. Meanwhile, the Honda CR-V diesel SUV is also being exhibited in the PIMS. With its wide acceptance for the diesel iteration variant locally, the CR-V highlighted its advanced safety and driver assistive feature, the Honda SENSING.
