Based on the Honda Architecture (HA) that underpins the Civic and CR-V, the ZR-V comes as Honda’s flagship offering in India. The midsize SUV is imported from Japan in limited batches as completely built units (CBUs), because of which the Honda ZR-V price in India is Rs 48 lakh (ex-showroom). At this price bracket, the Honda ZR-V rivals include the Jeep Meridian, Skoda Kodiaq, and Volkswagen Tiguan and Tayron.

The India-spec Honda ZR-V comes with a 2.0-litre strong-hybrid powertrain that develops a combined 184hp and 315Nm. Customers in India have just one variant of the Honda ZR-V to choose from. Thanks to its efficient hybrid powertrain, the Honda ZR-V mileage is claimed at 22.8kpl.

Honda ZR-V FAQs

The Honda ZR-V is for buyers who want their midsize SUV to offer good mileage and performance while also sporting a modern crossover styling, minimalistic interior design and good build quality.

Unlike some markets abroad, the Honda ZR-V in India only comes with front-wheel drive (FWD).

Compared to rivals, the Honda ZR-V is missing all-wheel drive and adaptive dampers. It also doesn't get ventilated front seats or a powered sunroof, while its infotainment touchscreen is smaller than what other cars get. The ZR-V’s hybrid powertrain is refined and efficient, but it does not offer the same level of punch as its European turbo-petrol rivals.

No, all 120 units that were allocated in the first two batches for the Indian market have been spoken for. Unless, Honda allocates more units for India, you cannot buy a new ZR-V right away.

While the rear seats of the Honda ZR-V offer enough room to accommodate three people with good legroom, all is not great. The rear bench is set low, meaning you'll have to sit in a slightly knees-up position, whilst the sloping roofline restricts headroom for passengers over 6-feet tall. Finally, the lack of rear sunblinds is a letdown.

Prior to my Innova HyCross, I was driving a Honda CR-V for a very long time. I am thinking of buying the Honda ZR-V, but I am unsure about the product and pricing. Any suggestions from Team Autocar?

If you enjoyed owning the Honda CR-V, the Honda ZR-V will feel like a natural successor. This Honda car carries forward the same Honda traits of refinement, comfort and effortless drivability, while adding a modern 2.0-litre strong-hybrid powertrain producing 184hp and 315Nm, paired with an e-CVT.The only caveat is the price. At an expected Rs 40-50 lakh (ex-showroom), the ZR-V comes to India as a full import (CBU), which will make it considerably more expensive than similarly sized SUVs. That's where we feel the value proposition becomes difficult to justify.If you're happy with your Innova HyCross, the ZR-V won't necessarily feel like an upgrade in terms of space or practicality. The HyCross offers a roomier cabin and will arguably be the more versatile family car. The ZR-V is aimed more at buyers who want a premium five-seat crossover with excellent refinement and hybrid efficiency rather than maximum practicality.

Is Honda planning to bring the CR-V back to India through the CBU route, similar to the ZR-V?

Verified
14w

Short answer: there is no official plan to bring the CR-V back to India right now, CBU or otherwise. Honda has not announced a relaunch, and dealers aren’t taking bookings.About the ZR-V, Honda is importing a few units under the 2,500-car rule to gauge interest in out market, and it's set to be unveiled today. A CBU ZR-V would be niche and pricey due to taxes, likely in the Rs 40-50 lakh range.Honda’s current focus in India is on higher volume mass market models and its first EV that's set to arrive next year.
