The Honda BR-V has been discontinued, we knew it was going to happen, and even told you that the SUV-inspired MPV, based on the Mobilio, will not make the jump to BS6 emission standards. April 1, 2020, is here and now onwards, only BS6 vehicles can be sold in India. Thus, Honda Cars India has reorganised its product line-up and the BR-V has been removed from the company official website. And the company has confirmed this to carandbike. Furthermore, Honda has also removed the diesel version of the existing City, Civic and the CR-V, which comply with the older BS4 emission norms, and until the BS6 versions come in all three cars will remain petrol-only.
