The Honda ZR-V is expected to come to India with a petrol-hybrid powertrain, likely using a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing around 180hp. The transmission of choice is possibly an e-CVT unit, while the drive configuration is likely to be all-wheel drive (AWD).

As a big Honda fan, ZRV has let down Honda lovers. The under-thigh support for rear passengers isn't good. At 48 lakhs ex-showroom, there will be very few buyers. Overall, ZRV might flop in India. Honda should think about bringing the CR-V here.

The car looks phenomenal from my point of view. Driven it for a few kilometers and it's really fun compared to others in the segment. The only downside is it's imported, making it expensive. If people want this car in the future, maybe Honda will produce it in India. The 2L Hybrid Engine offers great power and efficiency, but it's overpriced due to heavy taxes, not Honda's fault. Amazing car, hope it comes around 20 Lac ex-showroom.

As a big Honda fan, I'm really disappointed. Honda should at least offer a WRV hybrid or electric. This car is good but feels overpriced. The WRV is excellent and of good quality, but Honda needs to improve its looks; nothing else matches the WRV in its segment.

Best part is the power and beautiful aesthetics. Interior is awesome, and Honda's petrol engine is top-notch. Looks a bit overpriced, but features are really good.

Honda has always been a dependable brand, just like other Japanese manufacturers. They cater to everyone, from middle class to lower middle class, and this model is perfect for business professionals who drive to offices or showrooms. With this car, they will surely achieve the claimed mileage. Honda has a history of keeping promises, and I can't wait to get this car.

Amazing car, excellent mileage. Super stylish. This is a premium segment car from Honda, great for Indian roads. Like BMW and Mercedes, Honda is also stepping into the premium market. I believe it will rock in India. Best of luck to Honda, as it is my favorite brand. Thank you.

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
•21w

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.
