On the inside, the layout remains the same but minor changes like chrome inserts and refreshed upholstery gives it a fresh look on the inside. It continues to offer features like a touchscreen infotainment screen, multi-function steering wheel, automatic climate control, electric sunroof and so on. The 2020 Honda WR-V, just like the BS4 version, is available in both petrol and diesel engine options.

The petrol version gets a 1.2 litre unit that generates 90 PS of peak power and 110 Nm of peak torque. The diesel variant gets a 1.5 litre unit that generates 100 PS of peak power and 200 Nm of peak torque. Honda still does not offer an automatic transmission with petrol and diesel versions and continues to be powered by a 5-speed manual and 6-speed manual respectively. A CVT automatic gearbox for the petrol powered WR–V would be a good addition considering the growing demand for automatic options in the Indian market.
