Should You Buy Honda WR-V Petrol Or Diesel?
Given the drastic performance differences between the 1.2L normal petrol and the 1.5L turbo diesel engines of the WR-V, we can’t blindly look at the km-to-breakeven figure and suggest one engine over the other. The WR-V is quite heavy for the 1.2L normal petrol engine to lug around as it not only makes less torque than other 1.2L engines, but also makes it quite high in the rev band. So, the WRV diesel seems to offer far superior drivability.
Considering the performance advantages of the WR-V diesel, we’d say that you can buy the diesel variant even if you only expect to drive the car for about 70,000km. The higher torque output of the diesel engine will drastically improve the drivability while offering better mileage as well.
