Honda WR-V: Budget Crossover in Russia Offered Cheaper Than Lada and "Moskvich"

A new compact crossover, the Honda WR-V, has appeared on the Russian market, available at a price from 1.55 million rubles thanks to deliveries through alternative channels. This makes it cheaper than domestic counterparts: the Lada Vesta sedan in the Life configuration with a 106-horsepower engine and a CVT costs 1.676 million rubles, and the 2024 "Moskvich 3" crossover costs from 1.7 million rubles, while the 2025 model is estimated at a minimum of 1.851 million rubles.

In Vladivostok, the Honda WR-V is offered on order for 1.552 million rubles. In the basic version, the equipment includes a multi-steering wheel, single-zone climate control, LED optics with fog lights, and a combined interior trim made of fabric and eco-leather. For 1.7 million rubles, a version is available with a multimedia system, Apple CarPlay support, keyless entry, engine start button, rear-view camera, and parking sensors. Prices for cars in stock are higher: from 2.18 million rubles in Krasnoyarsk to 2.39 million rubles in Stary Oskol.

All Honda WR-Vs are equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with 121 hp, a continuously variable transmission, and front-wheel drive. Despite the right-hand drive layout, the crossover attracts buyers with its affordable price and reliable design, which makes it competitive in the budget car market.
