# HONDA BR-V (2016-2020)
## Complete Family SUV Protection Guide
> **Model Context**: The Honda BR-V was a popular 7-seater compact SUV in India, sold from 2016 until its discontinuation in April 2020 . While no longer in production, many BR-Vs remain on Indian roads. This guide covers all variants, with special attention to **Honda Sensing ADAS** features on higher trims (VX and V CVT) .
## Website Description (For Honda BR-V Owners)
**Protint – Reliable Protection for Your Honda BR-V Family SUV**
The Honda BR-V has been a trusted companion for Indian families—a 7-seater compact SUV that combines Honda's legendary reliability, spacious interiors, and fuel-efficient i-VTEC/diesel engines. Whether you own the base S variant or the top-spec VX with Honda Sensing, your BR-V deserves protection that matches its dependability.
Our **Paint Protection Film (PPF)** shields your BR-V's distinctive front grille, sculpted bonnet, and vulnerable edges from stone chips, parking scuffs, and daily driving hazards. With replacement costs like front bumper ₹3, 596, bonnet ₹6, 215, and headlight ₹22, 447 (GST included) , PPF is a smart investment that protects your SUV's most expensive components.
**Ceramic and Graphene Coatings** enhance the depth of your BR-V's premium finishes while providing exceptional protection against bird droppings, tree sap, and UV fading.
The BR-V's spacious 7-seater cabin makes sun protection essential. However, **strict compliance with Supreme Court regulations is mandatory**—aftermarket sun films are banned. We offer only 100% legal magnetic sun shades for parked use.
**⚠️ CRITICAL HONDA SENSING WARNING FOR VX OWNERS:**
If your BR-V is the VX trim or V CVT with Honda Sensing, it has a **front camera behind the rearview mirror** that powers:
- **CMBS** – Collision Mitigation Braking System (automatic braking)
- **LKAS** – Lane Keeping Assist System
- **RDM** – Road Departure Mitigation
- **ACC** – Adaptive Cruise Control
**DO NOT TINT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD** – This will blind the camera and disable life-saving safety features.
We also offer a complete range of **Honda BR-V accessories**, including premium horns, wheel covers, car covers, and genuine body parts .
We use only globally trusted brands: **3M**, **XPEL**, **LLumar**, **Ceramic Pro**, and **Gtechniq**.
**Protect your BR-V. Drive with family confidence. Only at Protint.**

## PPF vs Ceramic Coating: Which One for Your BR-V?
| Feature | Paint Protection Film (PPF) | Ceramic Coating |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Primary Protection** | Physical shield against stone chips, scratches, scuffs | Chemical shield against UV, bird droppings, acid rain |
| **Stone Chip Defense** | ✅ YES – absorbs impact | ❌ NO – cannot stop chips |
| **Scratch Resistance** | High (self-healing on premium films) | Low (light wash-induced swirls only) |
| **Gloss Enhancement** | Maintains factory finish | Dramatically improves depth & shine |
| **Hydrophobic Effect** | Good | Excellent – self-cleaning properties |
| **Durability** | 5–10 years | 1–4 years |
| **Cost (BR-V - Large SUV ~250 sq ft)** | ₹81, 250 – ₹1, 00, 000+ | ₹15, 000 – ₹30, 000 |
**The Verdict for BR-V Owners:** For maximum protection on Indian highways, choose PPF. For budget-friendly gloss and easier washing, choose ceramic coating. For the best of both worlds, combine partial PPF (bonnet, bumper, mirrors) with full-body ceramic coating.
## High-Impact PPF Coverage Areas for Honda BR-V
The BR-V falls under the **Large (SUV/MUV)** category requiring approximately **250 sq. ft.** of PPF material for full coverage .

## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Sun Film Laws for Honda BR-V
### The Legal Reality – Your BR-V is NOT Exempt
Unlike high-end imported cars (BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Jaguar), your Honda BR-V is **NOT EXEMPT** from the Supreme Court's ban on aftermarket sun films. Even films that claim to be 'RTO approved' are illegal—there is no universal RTO certification for aftermarket films.
**The Supreme Court's 2012 ruling** in *Avishek Goenka v. Union of India* banned the use of 'black films… or any other material' on vehicle windows. The Motor Vehicles Act, 1989 specifies VLT limits for car glass:
| Window | Minimum VLT Required |
|:---|:---|
| Front Windscreen | 70% |
| Rear Windscreen | 70% |
| Side Windows | 50% |
**But here's the critical part:** Even if an aftermarket film claims to meet these limits, it is still illegal. The Supreme Court ban applies to **any** aftermarket film, regardless of its VLT percentage.
### Penalties for Violation
| Offence | Penalty |
|:---|:---|
| First Offence | ₹100 – ₹500 fine |
| Second Offence | ₹300 – ₹2, 000 fine + possible driving licence suspension |
| Third and Subsequent | Up to ₹5, 000 + possible imprisonment + licence termination |
**⚠️ Insurance Risk:** Illegal modifications can lead to **denial of insurance claims** in the event of an accident.
### Your Only Legal Sun Protection Options
| Solution | Legality | Use Case | Recommendation |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Factory Glass** | ✅ 100% Legal | Driving | As equipped |
| **Magnetic Sun Shades** | ✅ 100% Legal (parked only) | Parked UV protection | **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** |
| **Aftermarket Films** | ❌ Illegal | Not permitted | **NOT RECOMMENDED** |
**Government Guidelines on Sun Shades:**
> *'The bottom line is that these car shades can be deployed when the car is parked and not being driven around. The car shade can be used to block the sun's rays when the car is parked in sunlight. Once the car is required to be driven around, these shades must be removed.'*
## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Honda Sensing ADAS for VX/V CVT Owners
If your BR-V is the **VX trim or V CVT with Honda Sensing**, you have a front camera behind the rearview mirror .
**What this camera controls :**
| Feature | Function |
|:---|:---|
| **CMBS** (Collision Mitigation Braking System) | Automatically brakes to avoid or mitigate collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists |
| **LKAS** (Lane Keeping Assist System) | Helps keep vehicle centered in detected lane |
| **RDM** (Road Departure Mitigation) | Provides steering assistance if you drift out of lane without signaling |
| **ACC** (Adaptive Cruise Control) | Maintains speed and safe distance from vehicle ahead |
| **AHB** (Auto High Beam) | Automatically switches between high/low beams |
**Camera Location:** 'Sensor kamera ditempatkan di kaca depan bagian atas... di balik kaca depan, tepatnya di bagian atas dekat kaca spion tengah' (The camera sensor is placed in the top part of the windshield, behind the rearview mirror) .
### For Non-VX BR-V Owners (S, E Trims)
If your BR-V does NOT have Honda Sensing, you still have:
- **Rear parking sensors** (standard on most trims)
- **Rear camera** (higher trims)
- **LaneWatch camera** on left side mirror (V CVT, Prestige)
**⚠️ DO NOT TINT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD** – Even non-VX trims may have light sensors that could be affected.

## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Honda Sensing ADAS for VX/V CVT Owners
If your BR-V is the **VX trim or V CVT with Honda Sensing**, you have a front camera behind the rearview mirror .
**What this camera controls :**
| Feature | Function |
|:---|:---|
| **CMBS** (Collision Mitigation Braking System) | Automatically brakes to avoid or mitigate collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists |
| **LKAS** (Lane Keeping Assist System) | Helps keep vehicle centered in detected lane |
| **RDM** (Road Departure Mitigation) | Provides steering assistance if you drift out of lane without signaling |
| **ACC** (Adaptive Cruise Control) | Maintains speed and safe distance from vehicle ahead |
| **AHB** (Auto High Beam) | Automatically switches between high/low beams |
**Camera Location:** 'Sensor kamera ditempatkan di kaca depan bagian atas... di balik kaca depan, tepatnya di bagian atas dekat kaca spion tengah' (The camera sensor is placed in the top part of the windshield, behind the rearview mirror) .
### For Non-VX BR-V Owners (S, E Trims)
If your BR-V does NOT have Honda Sensing, you still have:
- **Rear parking sensors** (standard on most trims)
- **Rear camera** (higher trims)
- **LaneWatch camera** on left side mirror (V CVT, Prestige)
**⚠️ DO NOT TINT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD** – Even non-VX trims may have light sensors that could be affected.
