In partnership with the Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP), the all-new BR-V 1.5 V CVT managed to earn a fuel efficiency rating of 24.7 km/l. The top-of-the-line 1.5 VX CVT Honda Sensing variant returned 23.48 km/l, while the 1.5 S CVT variant registered 22.61 km/l.
The said fuel efficiency figures were achieved with the following parameters:
