CarTell take
We haven't driven the ZR-V yet. On paper, the 1.5T is fine for daily use, e:HEV is the version to buy if you can afford it. The Civic-derived chassis means it drives noticeably better than obvious medium SUV rivals.
Why consider it
- Civic-based ride and steering, sharper than most compact SUV rivals. e:HEV claim of 5.0 L/100 km combined is genuinely close in real-world use.
- Fixed drive-away pricing removes dealer negotiation.
- 5-star ANCAP under the 2024 protocol with Honda Sensing standard across the range.
What to know
- FWD only, no AWD option. e:HEV LX at $51,900 drive-away is RAV4 Hybrid Cruiser money.
- Boot is 370 L on the hybrid, behind RAV4 and CR-V hybrid figures.
Who it suits
Small families wanting Civic-derived chassis with SUV practicality, hybrid converts chasing 5.0 L/100 km, no-haggle buyers happy with fixed drive-away pricing, and safety-led buyers wanting 5-star ANCAP under the 2024 protocol.
