Honda ZR-V Overview
The ZR V is a mid size premium SUV from Honda, expected in India around late 2025 or early 2026 as a CBU as confirmed by Honda. Positioned between Honda’s smaller and larger SUVs globally, the ZR V aims for buyers wanting a refined hybrid SUV with modern comforts, especially those shifting up from compact SUVs but not ready for a full size premium SUV.
engine and performance
The ZR V is expected to launch in India with Honda’s hybrid setup, a 2.0 litre petrol engine paired with two electric motors, delivering around 181 PS and 315 Nm torque through an e CVT gearbox. This hybrid powertrain is tuned more for efficiency and smooth driving than sporty performance. Claimed fuel efficiency under international ratings is about 22 to 26 kmpl. The petrol only or turbo petrol versions, if offered, will cater to those prioritising performance over fuel economy.
interior
Inside, ZR V aims for a premium and modern cabin. Expect a dual tone dashboard, a free standing central touchscreen and a digital instrument cluster. The centre console uses drive mode switches instead of a traditional gear lever, giving a clean, contemporary feel. Feature list reportedly includes dual zone climate control, power front seats, wireless charging, possible rear AC vents, and a good infotainment and audio system. Overall, the cabin delivers a refined, comfortable environment suited for daily commuting and long drives.
exterior
Externally, the ZR V carries a sleek crossover design rather than a boxy SUV look. It measures about 4568 mm in length, 1840 mm wide and 1620 mm tall, riding on a 2655 mm wheelbase. The front features horizontal LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs and a distinctive grille. At the rear, wraparound LED tail lamps and a raked rear windshield give it a more car like silhouette. The overall styling leans toward a refined, slightly sporty appeal rather than rugged SUV aggression.
safety
Safety appears to be a priority for ZR V. It is expected to come with a full set of airbags, ABS with EBD, vehicle stability assist, tyre pressure monitoring, hill start assist and ISOFIX child seat anchors. On the ADAS side, the SUV may include advanced features under the brand’s safety umbrella, including collision mitigation braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring and road departure mitigation. This safety and driver assist mix should make it among the more secure options in its class.
competition
In India the ZR V will compete with premium and mid size SUVs and crossovers offering hybrid or efficient powertrains. Key rivals are Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Compass, and higher spec variants of Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. Its hybrid efficiency, modern cabin and feature set aim to give it an edge over combustion-only rivals and appeal to buyers seeking a premium, efficient SUV without stepping into luxury SUV territory.
