The new 2023 Honda ZR-V has arrived in Europe as a stylish Civic-based crossover to fill the gap between the HR-V and CR-V
Already on sale in the US , the ZR-V has been designed with a focus on attracting younger buyers and as such majors on"sporty and expressive" design cues, enhanced dynamics, practicality and agility.
It will be sold in Europe exclusively as a hybrid, using a 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder petrol engine and two electric motors - a set-up familiar from the Civic, with which it shares its platform. With a combined 181bhp and 232lb ft of torque, this powertrain promises what Honda calls"powerful acceleration comparable to a V6 3.0-litre engine", although final performance figures are yet to be revealed.The ZR-V channels its reserves through an e-CVT to the front axle only, with the US-market four-wheel-drive car confirmed as not being available here.
The e-CVT clutches the engine onto the wheels only at high speeds, at one fixed ratio. The rest of the time, the engine spins a generator to make power for the electric motors.
