The Honda BR-V is a subcompact crossover SUV manufactured by Honda since 2016 and mainly sold for emerging markets.[1][2] While being dimensionally bigger, the BR-V is positioned below the more advanced international market HR-V. The first-generation model shares its platform with the second-generation Mobilio, which itself based on the lengthened Brio platform. The second-generation model is built on a separate platform from the Mobilio (shared with the second-generation Amaze and the WR-V instead).[3]

Developed by Honda R&D Asia Pacific in Thailand, the BR-V has been manufactured and assembled in several Asian countries, including Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, India, and Pakistan, and is also sold in Brunei, Mexico, and South Africa.

According to Honda, the name "BR-V" stands for "Bold Roundabout Vehicle".[4]
