The midsize SUV ZR-V made its debut in China in 2022. The Jeep Compass, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Volkswagen Taos are its main competitors, and it's about time. Located between the HR-V and CR-V models, the 2025 Honda ZR-V is a midsize SUV. The sole available option is the hybrid, which combines a four-cylinder gasoline engine with two electric motors to achieve exceptional fuel efficiency. Aside from powering the electric motor, the engine's main purpose is to propel the front wheels autonomously. The ZR-V and the HR-V share many visual characteristics, but the ZR-V has a slimmer snout and grille that is less bulky thanks to vertical line accents. Headlights, the Honda emblem, and the grille-which has very large vents-appear to be the design focal points. From front to back, wide, flat surfaces define the sweeping proportions of the external design. The design of the front fascia consists of a wide, angular grille that sweeps horizontally and a vertical grille that blends into the backdrop. These qualities, which are big and strong, make for a complex face. The smooth, rising aspect of the rear end increases volume surrounding the undercarriage and emphasizes the large footprint of the vehicle. The new 2025 Honda ZR-V, an SUV expected to cost more than $40,000, will join the range later this year, adding to the Japanese automaker's SUV offerings. This new ZR-V hybrid model will be the first Honda SUV to offer the Sports e:HEV option. It's made by merging the 2.0-liter direct injection engine, which made its debut in the Civic e:HEV, with an innovative 2-motor hybrid and e-CVT system. All New ZR-V gas-powered models will also be offered; they will include a constantly variable transmission (CVT) and a 1.5-liter turbo engine, which should provide for a very nimble and responsive ride.
