Honda ZR-V Hybrid SUV is claimed to return a fuel economy of 22.80 kmpl and it has been made available in a total of four colour schemes
Called the ZR-V Hybrid, the new model has been revealed in India today as Honda’s flagship SUV and customer deliveries are scheduled to begin in July 2026. Honda has officially started accepting bookings for the SUV while the launch is expected in the coming weeks. Unlike the Elevate and City manufactured locally, the ZR-V arrives in India as a completely built up model.
Its volumes are expected to remain limited. Pricing is likely to place it in the Rs. 40 lakh to Rs. 50 lakh bracket putting it against products such as Volkswagen Tiguan, Skoda Kodiaq and Jeep Meridian. Visual bits like dual exhaust outlets, flush roof rails and a clean rear design without a connected light bar give the ZR-V a very different character compared to most modern crossovers.
Power comes from a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a dual motor strong hybrid setup. Combined output stands at 184 hp and 315 Nm while power is sent to the front wheels through an e CVT automatic transmission. Honda claims a 0 to 100 kmph sprint time of 8 seconds while the electronically restricted top speed stands at 172 kmph. The claimed fuel efficiency is rated at 22.80 kmpl.
Internationally, Honda also sells the ZR-V with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine and an all wheel drive option but the India bound version has been confirmed only with the hybrid powertrain. The SUV measures 4,567 mm in length, 1,840 mm in width and 1,621 mm in height while the wheelbase stands at 2,655 mm. Boot space can expand up to 1,313 litres with the second row folded.
On the outside, sleek LED headlamps with L-shaped daytime running lights sit beside a black grille while the front bumper integrates air channels and gloss black lower sections. The side profile gets 18-inch alloy wheels along with black body cladding around the wheel arches and lower doors. The tail lamps feature a slim shape while roof mounted spoiler, rear washer and wiper are also part of the package.
Honda has chosen a more driver focused layout with several physical switches and knobs retained instead of shifting every function into the touchscreen inside the cabin. The dashboard houses a 9-inch infotainment system compatible with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay along with a 10.25 inch digital instrument display.
Features include dual zone climate control, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, wireless charging, powered front seats, powered tailgate and a 12 speaker Bose audio system. Both rows receive centre armrests while leatherette upholstery is also present. Safety equipment list comprises eight airbags, 360 degree camera, tyre pressure monitoring system and Level 2 ADAS functions.
Honda has also integrated physical drive selector buttons and an electronic parking brake into the centre console resulting in a cleaner cabin layout. The ZR-V now becomes the most premium SUV in Honda India lineup and also marks the company latest push into the higher end hybrid SUV category.
