This is the Honda ZR-V!
It sits in the middle of Honda’s SUV range - roomier than the HR-V but smaller than the CR-V. The question is, should you choose it over either of these cars or even in place of competitors such as a Kia Sportage or Nissan Qashqai?
When it comes to the design, the new ZR-V is notably different from both the HR-V and CR-V. Up front, it comes with a relatively small grille, with vertical slats that give it a sporty edge, looking relatively similar to an AMG! There’s some black cladding around the wheel arches to help it stand out, and at the back, there’s a sloping roofline and some LED tail lights.
The interior of the car looks very similar to the Honda Civic - and that’s no bad thing! There’s a fair amount of soft-touch materials to be found, although look a little lower and you’ll find a few bits of scratchy plastic. Thankfully though these can be overlooked as the new infotainment system more than makes up for it. This model also comes with a fully digital dial display, although entry and mid-range cars only come with part digital/part analogUE dials.
When it comes to engine choices, there’s only one. It’s a 2-litre turbo petrol, which is used to power a battery that subsequently powers a motor that drives the front wheels. To be honest, it’s all a bit complicated!
The Honda ZR-V range starts from around £39,000, rising up to around £43,000 for top-of-the-range models. So is it worth it? Or should you consider a Qashqai or Tiguan instead? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!
