5 things to know about the India bound Honda ZR-V

Honda has confirmed that it will bring its mid-size SUV, the ZR-V, to India as a brand builder, alongside other models. In Honda's product lineup, the ZR-V sits below the flagship CR-V and will be introduced to India via the CBU route.

What is the expected price of the Honda ZR-V?

Likely to be priced around Rs 50 lakh - Rs 60 lakh

 

Since the Honda ZR-V will come to India as a CBU, the SUV is expected to be priced between Rs 50 lakh and 60 lakh (ex-showroom) 

How is the exterior design of the Honda ZR-V like? 

Gets the proportions of a premium crossover rather than an SUV

The Honda ZR-V's proportions lean more towards the side of a premium crossover than an SUV. At the front, the ZR-V sports LED headlamps and an octagonal grille with vertical and horizontal slats. The sides of the front bumpers get functional air vents, with the lower side of the bumper finished in black and sporting wide air dams.   

There's a continuous black trim running along the sides of the vehicle and wheel arches. It is yet to be confirmed what sizes the alloy wheels will come in for the India-spec model, while the global model features wheel sizes ranging from 17-inch to 19-inch. The side profile is mostly clean, with a subtle character line running across the lower side of the doors.

At the rear, the ZR-V gets LED taillights, with the rear bumper getting a dual-tone black and silver finish, along with the exhausts finished in chrome. 

How is the interior of the ZR-V, and what features will it come with?

Get's a neat looking dash and is expected to get features including ADAS

Expect the interior of the ZR-V to come in a dual-tone theme. The global spec ZR-V gets a stylish interior, with a continuous AC vent trim running across the dashboard. Key highlights are the free-standing touchscreen infotainment system and the digital display. The ZR-V comes with a button-operated gear shift panel instead of a conventional gear lever. 

In terms of features, expect the ZR-V to come equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a powered driver's seat,   wireless charging pad, dual-zone climate control, a sunroof, a powered tailgate and an ADAS suite.

What engine and transmission does the Honda ZR-V come with?

Expected to come with a petrol hybrid powertrain 

The India-spec ZR-V model is likely to come with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder hybrid engine mated to an e-CVT gearbox, producing 180hp and 240Nm of torque.

What cars will the Honda ZR-V rival in India?

Could likely target the premium SUV segment  

When launched, the Honda ZR-V will likely compete against SUVs such as the Volkswagen Tiguan and the Skoda Kodiaq Lounge.

Tata Motors had a blockbuster showing at Auto Expo 2023, with several models on display in various states of production readiness. However, while Tata’s announcement was quite scant on details, we’ve received a bit more information from company sources, specifically around when these cars will be launched. The products are an even mix of EV and ICE products, but while the latter includes petrol and CNG models, there has been no word on further diesel development, which means the present 1.5-litre engine in the Nexon , and the Fiat-sourced 2.0 in the Harrier and Safari , will soldier on for some time. New Tata Sierra launch in 2025 with new 1.5 petrol engine Undoubtedly the biggest star at the Tata Motors stall, the second iteration of the Sierra EV concept has inched ever closer to production-ready guise.

Honda  has officially delisted the Amaze  diesel model from its website. The compact sedan was the final diesel model in its segment that currently comprises of the Hyundai Aura , Tata Tigor and the Maruti Suzuki Dzire . Amaze diesel was available in three trims Was the only diesel automatic model in its segment Honda Amaze diesel: reason for discontinuation As we've reported before, the upcoming implementation of the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms in India from April 2023 is the key reason for the Amaze's diesel engine being dropped.  Upgrading diesel engines to meet the new stringent emissions regulations is expensive. This, combined with the low demand for diesel in this segment, meant that there was little business case for the Amaze diesel. Currently, Honda has only two diesel-powered models on sale in India – the  WR-V  and  5th gen City .  However, these cars, too, are slated to be axed as the brand  will cease producing diese...
