The functional and ergonomic dashboard of the Honda Jazz is retained to increase economies of scale.

Like the Jazz, the Honda WR-V has a black floating dashboard with the centre console angled towards the driver, contrasted with silver accents and gloss black trim. The model spied appears to based on middle grade, as it lacks a start/stop button, automatic climate control with touch sensitive buttons, and a larger touchscreen infotainment system.

For South American markets, the WR-V will pack a 1.5L i-VTEC four cylinder petrol engine paired with a five-speed manual or CVT, which sends power only to the front wheels. It produces 120 hp and 15.3 kg.m of peak torque.
