Honda ZR-V Variants & Exterior Design

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Variants

In Japan the ZRV Hybris is offered in two main variants, the X Base and Z Top. The Z Top also gets 2 special edition variants – the Z Black Style and the Z Cross Touring. As the names suggest, the Black Style gets blacked-out exterior and interior highlights, while the Cross Touring is fitted with exterior elements like front and rear bash plates and side cladding which make it look more rough-road ready. 

We expect Honda to bring the ZR-V Hybrid Z Top variant to India, which has a more upmarket design and all the features which will fit its halo product positioning here.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Grille Design Comparison

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Grille Design Comparison

Honda offers the ZRV Hybrid with two different grille designs in every market – one with vertical fins and one with honeycomb elements. We expect the vertical grille to be offered in India as it gives it the more appealing SUV look.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Front Quarter

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Front Quarter

As you can see above, the ZR-V Hybrid takes a softer approach to SUV design. It has flowing curves and a gentle face. The tapering hood has been designed for better forward visibility for the driver, the vertical grille breaks the otherwise tame design.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Side Profile

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Side Profile

The soft design of the ZRV is even more evident when you look at the side design. The long hood, gently sloping rear and the curved design elements everywhere make it look more like a lifted wagon than an SUV.

The rear look of the ZRV continues with the soft, curvy theme seen at the front and side. It features a roof-mounted spoiler above the rear windshield, black-tint taillights with prominent LED DRLs and twin exhaust ports in the rear bumper with a chrome surround.

Featuring a design that gets slimmer from the outside to inside, the taillights of the ZRV Hybrid are all-LED – including the DRLs, brake lamps, indicators and reverse lamps. The housing is the same as the headlights, with black-tinting to add to the premium look.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Grille

The closeup of the grille of the ZRV Hybrid shows the eight-sided main opening with 11 vertical elements in it. The vertical slats are not straight, except for the one in the middle, the upper element of each curves to the side progressively.

Honda ZR-V Z Hybrid Alloy Wheel Design

Honda ZR-V Z Hybrid Alloy Wheel Design

Several alloy wheel designs are available with the ZRV internationally, though all of them are 18-inch units. Seen here is the diamond-cut simple spoke design, depending on the market there are other more complex designs available too. The alloy wheels are fitted with 225/55 R18 tyres, which are expected to be carried over to India.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Exhaust Cover

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Exhaust Cover

In spite of being powered by a 4-cylinder strong hybrid 2.0L engine, the ZRV gets twin exhausts – with exhaust covers integrated into the rear bumper. These exhaust ports hide the rear pipes while also adding to the sporty look of the SUV.

The cabin design of the upcoming ZRV follows Honda’s minimalist design philosophy seen in the Elevate SUV and City sedan. This includes the central freestanding touchscreen infotainment system on top of the dashboard, and the horizontal look of the dashboard with lines extending from side to side. The soft-touch all-leather dashboard cover will add to the luxury feel of the ZRV’s interior and match its premium pricing – click here to know the ZRV Hybrid expected price in India.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Interior Colour Themes

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Interior Colour Themes

The ZRV top variant in Japan gets two interior themes, both with all-leather seat covers, dashboard and door elements. We expect Honda to offer the more premium looking Maroon interior in India, though the lighter interior from the Cross Touring Edition cannot be ruled out. The all-black interior is premium looking too, but it will definitely not be welcome in India’s harsh summer season…

Apart from wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay connectivity, the unique feature of the ZRVs infotainment system is Android Automotive OS. With a built-in SIM card or through a wi-fi hotspot, features like Google Maps, YouTube Music and other Google apps can be used.

Low demand for City, Elevate and Amaze! Honda is not getting more customers, exports also decreased

Low demand for City, Elevate and Amaze! Honda is not getting more customers, exports also decreased

The beginning of the year 2026 was nothing special for Honda Cars India. The company has seen a decline in sales in January 2026 compared to last year. The company has registered total sales of 6,941 units in January 2026. In this, domestic sales were 6,193 units and export was 748 units.

Sales of 6,193 units in the domestic market are 15.45% less than 7,325 units in January 2025 last year. This year-on-year (YoY) decline could be mainly related to lower demand for Honda cars in the market, competition and possibly change in demand patterns for some models. However, a bit of good news is that there has been an improvement on a month-on-month (MoM) basis from 5,807 units in December 2025.

Exports also decreased

The situation in exports was more challenging. Only 748 units were shipped abroad in January 2026, which shows a huge decline of 84.98% from 4,979 units in January 2025. Due to this, total sales decreased by 43.59% from last year's 12,304 units. This sharp decline in exports may become a cause of concern for Honda. Honda Cars India mainly exports the City and Elevate models, which have been strong in the past, but looked affected this month.

What did the company say?

Company's Vice President (Marketing and Sales) Kunal Bahl said that the year has started with a strong environment. Honda Amaze is driving strong demand due to its value-for-money offering, while City and Elevate are making steady contributions. The company is confident of maintaining this positive momentum in the coming months.

Honda is giving discounts to customers

Honda also launched attractive offers in January 2026, which included savings (cash discount, exchange benefits, etc.) of up to ₹ 1.76 lakh on some models. These offers were applicable on Amaze, City (Petrol and Hybrid) and Elevate in select cities, which proved helpful in increasing demand.

Overall, there have been signs of slight recovery in the domestic market, but a large decline in exports affected the overall performance. Amidst the increasing demand for SUVs and EVs in the Indian auto sector, Honda is focusing on its sedan and compact SUV range. The company is expecting better performance in 2026 with new product updates and strong retail strategy. The company currently has its only SUV in the form of Honda Elevate.

The car company from which Indians kept distance, was well liked in foreign countries, exports increased by 23%

New Delhi. Honda Cars India Limited (HCIL) has registered a decline in vehicle sales in October 2024. It was expected that there would be an increase in sales during the festive season, but the figures are telling a different story. There has been a decline in sales figures in October this year compared to October 2023 and September 2024.

In October 2024, Honda Cars India Limited has sold a total of 5,546 units in the domestic market. This figure is 41% less than the 9,400 units sold last year in October 2023. In September 2024, the company had sold 5,675 units, which came down to 5,546 units in October, registering a decline of 2.27% on monthly basis.

Honda Cars had offered bumper discounts on its vehicles during the festive season, so that sales could increase. However, despite the offers, the company did not get many customers. Kunal Bahl, Vice President, Marketing and Sales, Honda Cars India Limited, says that due to festivals like Navratri, Dussehra, Dhanteras and Diwali in October, there was some momentum in sales, but the performance was not as expected.

Sales figures for October 2024 show that it was a disappointing month for Honda Cars. Despite the festive season and big discount offers, the company did not receive the expected response from customers in the domestic market.
