Honda BR-V

Over and above its 7-seat configuration, the BR-V is very well priced. The range starts off at R238 900 and there's no other vehicle in the crossover segment that can match the Honda for interior space. Sure, the Renault Duster has more technology and creature comforts, but it's not as practical, the Toyota Avanza is also practical, but cannot match the Honda attractive packaging. The flagship 1.5 Elegance CVT is priced at R288 300, making it a very well-priced offering under R300 000. We think this new offering from Honda will prove popular thanks to its super pricing, decent features and excellent practicality. The safety features are a little shy and comprise just two airbags, which we find odd for a seven-seat vehicle.

They may look similar but they are definitely not the same :|
 
His talking out his arse. Both cars have no bearing. They are built on different platforms to begin with. Then there is the argument of pricing & market positioning & 10 other arguments I won't get into.
 
Just looking at the specifications and the lack of air bags is a concern. Only two in the front. I see enough accidents on my daily commute to have gone from saying "never needed an airbag so why care?" to "its not negotiable, I need more!".

Was thinking of test driving one soon as we are in the market for a Jazz for the wife (I just bought the Ballade). Its 50cm longer than the Jazz which makes it a harder sell to the wife as there is no reverse camera and she is use to having a small car (currently an Atos).
