Honda ZR-V: Can this Civic-based SUV match the brilliance of the Civic? |
|
The new Honda ZR-V represents something of a departure for Honda, because it’s an all-new nameplate, and that’s not something Honda does very often.
UK prices for the new Honda ZR-V at time of publication are as follows: Elegance: from £39,495 Sport: from £41,095 Advance: from £42,895 This all-new C-Segment offering enters Honda’s SUV range slap bang in the middle, sitting between the smaller HR-V and the larger CR-V, and that puts it in a very popular sector of the car market, meaning it could potentially be a big sales success if Honda gets it right. Not massively surprisingly, given its size, the ZR-V shares a lot with the latest Civic hatchback. That include its platform (although the rear end of the platform is taken from the forthcoming CR-V, due later this year) and its hybrid drivetrain. The system combines a 2.0-litre direct-injection, Atkinson-Cycle petrol engine with two electric motors, to deliver a combined output of around 180 horsepower. We reckon that similarity to the Civic could be very good news, because the Civic is a very, very good car, one of the best of its type. So, can the ZR-V similarly impressive? To find out, CarGurus Deputy Editor Ivan Aistrop travels to Barcelona to thoroughly assess the car in terms of its practicality, quality, technology, affordability, and of course, what it's like to drive.
