Honda has kicked off a social media campaign as a build-up to the launch of the much-awaited BR-V. The BR-V marks Honda’s entry into India's popular SUV segment where it looks set to rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta and Maruti S-cross.

The social media campaign, set to span a period of 20 days, will display photos of the BR-V in various environments and on varied terrain, as suggested by the audience. Those interested will be able to view the photos on the company’s social media pages and the BR-V’s official website. Honda says that the aim of the campaign is to create a connection with consumers prior to the SUV’s India launch in the coming months.

“The core idea behind the ‘#WhereNextWithBRV” campaign is to showcase how the BR-V offers the opportunity to explore whatever, wherever, whenever. We wanted to create a memorable journey of the Honda BR-V travelling to picturesque locales and inspiring scenes,” said Jnaneswar Sen, senior vice president, marketing and sales, Honda Cars India.

The BR-V will be a big launch for Honda in India as the automaker looks to introduce the first seven-seater competitor in the segment currently dominated by the Hyundai Creta. Based on the same platform as the Brio and Mobilio, the BR-V features crossover styling cues while also packing in a spacious interior. The BR-V will slot in above the Mobilio in Honda's India line-up and will use the familiar 1.5-litre diesel and petrol engines from the Mobilio and City but with suitable changes to its tuning.

Their boots are comparable on size but the Celerio’s is easier to load into.

The Tiago’s cabin looks and feels far more upmarket.

Tiago’s front seats are a tad short on thigh support.

Tata’s rear seat comfy but headroom just enough.

Tata diesel is more powerful but not as responsive.

Celerio’s cabin is smart but nothing out of the ordinary.

Celerio’s seats more supportive than they look.

The Maruti offers far greater leg- and headroom.

Twin-cylinder Maruti engine is poor on refinement.

Tata Tiago launched at Rs 3.20 lakh

Rock-bottom pricing creates shockwaves, comfortably undercuts rivals like Maruti Celerio and Hyundai Grand i10 and knocks on doors of the Alto K10.
