Nope, 3rd row entry is only possible from the non driver side. The larger part of the second row does not tumble forward like the smaller part.

Just checked, and yes the right seat can also be tilted. Mine seemed to have been stuck a bit due to the carpet fouling with the latch. Letting the springs do their job instead of helping it tilt slowly provided enough force for the clamps to detach. Now it can fold away freely just like the left side.

Try again. Full 2nd row can be lifted with same mechanism on both sides.

Here you go:



And when you tumble forward the 3rd row seats too, you have Honda Jazz-like "Magic Seats"

Thanks guys

This is exactly why we love this car , among other reasons mentioned on this thread. Not really the same as Jazz's "Magic seats" (In the case of Jazz if I am not wrong, the base also moves 60/40. In the BRV, the base is a bench that moves up/down 100%, only the seat back splits 60/40). Also you don't get a full flat bed . But it still generates enough space to move a lot of stuff - bicycles , pots and so on.

Right, that's why I said "Jazz-like Magic Seats". Although the mechanism is different, we still get 2 separate compartments with partition. Ideal for carrying flora & fauna! This pic is from latest gen Honda Jazz:

Had a weird thought today. Since BRV's ground clearance is 210mm with 15" wheels and elevate's ground clearance is 220mm with 16" wheels, is it possible that the elevate's suspension can be used in BR-V? I guess the mounting points would have to be the same. Any other reason, why it will likely not be as simple as I think?

BR-V already has 16" Wheels, atleast the V and VX variants. Any particular reason why you contemplating changing the BR-V suspension?

Ah yes. My bad. I am finding the ride quality to be jumpy and Elevate's ride quality was relatively much flatter. Given they are almost the same weight and ground clearance, was thinking if changing it would bring the BR-Vs ride quality closer to Elevate's.

Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good cabin air filter for the BRV? I've heard that it doesn't come fitted with one, cannot seem to find genuine ones online either. Need help regarding the dimensions, will the filter from the Civic/Accord fit for the BRV?

Thanks in advance

Somebody who is not on Team-BHP sent me these pics. He hit a pig (!) and that triggered both the front and passenger airbags. But going by the damage to the front, impact speed was probably low.





So:

Pros: Airbags deploy as promised
Cons: Impact sensor seems to be sensitive

Meanwhile, my BR-V is approaching 60,000 kms (since 2016). Nothing much to report. It is now used sparingly after the arrival of Hyundai Venue DCT. Pics from a recent trip:

My 2016 Petrol SMT is running smooth without any troubles at 83000 Kms of ODO. Got it pre-owned at 40000 Kms and its being 4 years of peaceful ownership. Only niggle that has came up so far is that the front right power window gets stuck randomly.



Replaced the tyres at around 60k mark with 205/60/R16 MRF Perfinzas and they are as good as the stock Michellins. Might last another 20k. Good for the kind of terrain I live in.

My Family is super happy with the comfort and convenience offered by BRV. Sad that Honda did not load up BR-V to compete with its rivals back then and killed a great product that could have been.

I took some test drives of newer offerings in the market. The drives helped me to assure the value of BR-V. Thinking of loading it up with some features now to match the current technology.

How did you get the front blacked out? Is it wrap or paint?

It is a sticker wrap. Used a glossy one for the bigger part of grill and carbon fibre finish for the bottom part. Its almost 4 years now and still holds on.
