Honda has unveiled the highly anticipated BR-V at the inaugural day of the 2016 Delhi Auto Expo, and it will lock the horns of the immensely popular, yet to be launched Hyundai Creta. Though, the company has not announced the launch date of the compact SUV up till now, but we can expect its arrival in the second half of 2016. Earlier, at the 2015 Thailand Motor Show, a production-ready variant of the vehicle badged as 'Active Sport Crossover' was first introduced.

Almost all the features that we have seen over the production-ready variant, the BR-V compact SUV acquires the same. Featuring angular headlamps with projector units and LED DRLs, a wild front bumper, circular fog lamps, an impressive U-shaped chrome slat holding a badge of Honda on the front grille, the car flaunts its aggressiveness to the utmost.
