It uses the same platform as the Civic, and like the acclaimed hatch, it\u2019s only available with Honda\u2019s e:HEV hybrid powertrain. This combines a four-cylinder petrol engine under the bonnet with two electric motors, all working together to drive the front wheels.<\/p>\n<p>The engine is mainly used as a generator to power its minute 1.05kWh battery pack, which in turn feeds the electric motors, but it can drive the front wheels directly at high speeds. It\u2019s a complex system on paper, but on the road it\u2019s extremely smooth and allows the ZR-V to drive like an EV, just with a petrol engine whirring away in the background.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--6drfkmAP--\/f_auto,t_content-image-full-mobile@1\/v1694786504\/autoexpress\/2023\/09\/Honda%20ZR-V-19.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>As well as the sole powertrain option in the ZR-V, there are just three trim levels to choose from: Elegance, Sport and Advance. Even entry-level Elegance models are generously equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels, a 10.2-inch digital driver\u2019s display, nine-inch touchscreen, Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay connectivity, front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and a suite of driver-assistance and safety features called Honda Sensing.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d go for the Sport trim ourselves, as it adds wireless smartphone charging, extra USB ports, a powered tailgate and half-leather seats, plus some styling tweaks. Top-of-the-range Advance models come with a panoramic sunroof and a Bose sound system, among other luxuries. There isn\u2019t much in the way of customisation for ZR-V buyers, with most personalisation coming from a range of colours and exterior styling packs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--2ndlamRb--\/v1683626472\/assets\/partners\/powered-by-motorway_150x70.png\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"icon\" class=\"imgHideOnJavaScriptDisabled_eexbt16lmkrztlp polaris__image\" height=\"20\" src=\"\/public\/trustpilot-icon.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Of course you should expect plenty of standard kit when you consider the ZR-V\u2019s price tag. It currently starts from a fiver under \u00a339,500, which is several thousand pounds more expensive than hybrid versions of the Kia Sportage or Hyundai Tucson. In fact, the ZR-V has a higher starting price than the all-electric Skoda Enyaq.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>For an alternative review of the Honda ZR-V, visit our sister site carbuyer.co.uk&#8230;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/honda\/zr-v\/360994\/honda-zr-v-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Honda\u2019s answer to the Nissan Qashqai features a slick hybrid setup and generous cabin space, but it\u2019s not without its<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":238640,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
