Dimensions
To look more like an SUV, Honda has made the WR-V taller at 1601mm. The i20 Active is wider though and boasts the maximum wheelbase here, which might indicate that it is the most spacious of them all. All three cars sport the same 16-inch alloy wheels; the Urban Cross though has the widest tyres.
Honda's newly released crosshatch, the Honda WR-V, will go up against the likes of Hyundai’s i20 Active and Fiat’s Urban Cross. It’s got a longer wheelbase and makes more power than the Jazz. So, where does it stand compared to its rivals.

Engine and Transmission
The WR-V shares the same 1.2-litre iVTEC petrol and the 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel as the Jazz. The Urban Cross comes with a turbocharged T-Jet engine, so it’s a slightly pricey purchase. The i20 Active is in the same umbrella as the WR-V when it comes to engine power.
