Present to make the BR-V more appealing to the eye is a tailgate garnish, an exhaust pipe finisher, a door mirror garnish, and a front fender trim. On the more functional side, Honda also offers a door visor, which is useful for keeping the rain away when sliding down the windows by a couple of inches.

Moving on to the  BR-V interior accessories is the cargo tray and a seat back protector set. Both of these may be able to prevent damage whenever one loads up the car with cargo. The cargo tray in particular is also deep enough to prevent small items from sliding around when driving.
