The Honda WR-V is a curious creature. On the one hand, it’s a wholly competent, often downright impressive little SUV. But is that enough?
It finds itself in a very competitive segment, after all. The Proton X50 and the Perodua Ativa both offer much more value for money next to this relatively pricey WR-V - but then again, it is a Honda, and to some that makes all the difference.
To the buying public, SUVs are better, and with this higher perceived value comes demand, all translating to automakers finding that most people will happily pay a premium for something higher off the ground. Here we find a phenomenon we’re dubbing ‘The SUV Tax’, and the WR-V is quite a good example of this at play.
Trouble is, mainly, that there’s another Honda that seems to outperform it at every turn, and for less money: the humble City Hatchback. From performance, to sheer practicality, to daily utility, there’s really not much ground left for the WR-V to make its case besides the fact that it’s an SUV, and the City Hatch….isn’t.
