About ZR-V

The Honda ZR-V is the crossover version of the current Civic, launched in China in 2022 and in Japan, Europe and Australia shortly after. It slots between the smaller HR-V and the larger CR-V in markets that sell all three, and it is built for buyers who want a slightly higher seating position and more practicality without giving up the Civic's well-sorted handling. In North America, the same basic vehicle is sold as the HR-V, which can make conversations about Honda crossovers confusing.

In most markets the ZR-V is offered with Honda's e:HEV two-motor hybrid system, which runs largely as an electric car at low speeds and delivers good fuel economy. Reviewers have praised its refinement, ride quality and composed handling, while noting that its interior space and cargo area are not class-leading and that its price can approach that of the larger CR-V. Its styling, with a distinctive vertical-bar grille, has divided opinion.

The ZR-V competes with the Toyota C-HR, Kia Niro, Mazda CX-30, Hyundai Kona, Volkswagen T-Roc and Nissan Qashqai, as well as a growing number of Chinese hybrid and electric crossovers. It is an important model for Honda in Europe, where its hybrid focus suits strict emissions rules.
