I'm sure it can take a 1.5L diesel as well like the Jazz does. |
Honda does not need to bring the HRV as a CBU. But as far as manufacturing the car in India goes, the effort which go into developing a vehicle on an existing platform is still 75% of developing an all new model. Also, integrating the 1.5L diesel + transmission will take effort.
I also feel that these efforts will be totally worth it, but apparently, Honda doesn't.
The situation is same for BR-V as well, but may be the overall development cost is lesser and hence, better projected margins. Quote:

Totally agree with you on this, but things which are so easily comprehensible to outsiders like us is not visible to marketing people / top management of many car makers.
It is not just in India, but even in it's home market, Honda is facing criticism for the quality and reliability of its new models. Honda vehicles are not what they used to be 5 - 10 years ago.
