TL;DR
Honda is launching its ZR-V hybrid SUV as a premium import in India, featuring a 2.0-litre petrol-hybrid engine and optional AWD.
Honda is set to introduce the ZR-V hybrid SUV to the Indian market, expected to arrive as a full import. Positioned as a halo offering rather than a volume model, the ZR-V will sit above Honda's current lineup, targeting the premium five-seat SUV segment. This strategic move signifies Honda's intent to strengthen its presence in the higher-end of the Indian automotive market.
The Honda ZR-V is anticipated to be powered by a 2.0-litre petrol-hybrid engine, coupled with an e-CVT gearbox, delivering around 180hp and 315Nm of torque. An all-wheel-drive option is also expected to be available. With an estimated price range of ₹40 lakh to ₹50 lakh (ex-showroom), the ZR-V will compete against established premium SUVs like the Volkswagen Tiguan and Skoda Kodiaq.
