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 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

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

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.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Rear Left Quarter Motion

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.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Exterior Design Details

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Headlights

Full-LED headlights with High Beam Support (HSS) are offered as standard on the ZR-V Hybrid, the Z top variant further gets adaptive functionality, auto height adjustment and cornering lights. The light housing is black-tinted for a premium look.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Taillights

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

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

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.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Interior

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Dashboard

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

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…

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Panoramic Sunroof

…especially since the ZRV Hybrid is fitted with an openable panoramic sunroof.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Steering Wheel

No flat-bottom steering wheel here, the ZRV Hybrid gets a perfect round one. Physical buttons for multimedia, instrument cluster menu and adaptive cruise control are available.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Instrument Cluster

Like the Honda City Hybrid, which is also getting an update on May 22, 2026, the ZRV Hybrid features a digital instrument cluster. Click here to know all about the updates to the 2026 Honda City.

The all-digital 10.25-inch instrument cluster is expected to feature configurable displays based on the drive mode selected or on the driver’s needs.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Head Up Display

A single colour head up display is also expected to be offered in the upcoming ZRV Hybrid. This is a great aid for safe driving without the driver needing to take their eyes off the road to look at the all-digital instrument cluster for basic information.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Touchscreen with Android Automotive OS

A 9-inch freestanding touchscreen infotainment system is expected in the ZRV Hybrid. The 9-inch touchscreen is smaller than the screens in rivals like the Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line and Skoda Kodiaq – it is smaller than the 10.25-inch unit of the Elevate SUV too!

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.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Sound System - Bose Centerpoint

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Sound System – Bose Centerpoint

The ZRV top variant is expected to be fitted with a 12-speaker sound system designed by Bose. This is also expected to get the Bose Centerpoint technology which promises higher sound quality and better surround sound effect.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Two Zone Auto AC

The AC system of the ZRV Hybrid is expected to get dual automatic temperature zones for the front occupants and AC vents for the rear occupants as well. The rear AC vents are expected to be placed on a console between the front two seats, with adjustable air flow controls for both speed and direction.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Cupholders and Bottle Holders

In terms of cup holders and bottle storage spaces, the 2026 ZRV Hybrid is expected to get: 2x cup holders in the front lower centre console, 2x bottle holder in the front door pads, 2x cup holders in the rear centre armrest and single bottle holder in both rear door pads.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Rear Seat Features & Space

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Rear Seat Space

Strictly a 5-seater SUV, the ZRV Hybrid has a 60:40-split rear seat, three-point seatbelts for all three occupants, fixed headrest for the middle passenger and adjustable headrests for the two corner occupants. The central backrest can be folded down and used as an armrest with integrated twin cup holders.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Rear AC Vents and USB-C Ports

For added convenience we expect Honda to offer the ZRV Hybrid with AC vents for the rear passengers. The vents are placed between the front seats with direction and air flow controls. The AC vent console also features twin Type-C USB ports for easy charging of smartphones or other devices.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Second Row Shade

To be imported to India as a completely built unit (CBU), the 2026 ZRV Hybrid is expected to miss out on a critical premium feature – collapsible window shades for the second-row windows. This critical comfort and privacy feature may be offered as an optional accessory, as seen in the image above, but it cannot match the convenience of a built-in collapsible unit.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Boot Space

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Boot Lid Features

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Boot Space

The boot space in the upcoming ZRV Hybrid is expected to be between 370L to 1301L, depending on the rear seat configuration and measurement method.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Boot Space

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Boot Lid Features

With the rear seats up and the parcel tray placed, the 2026 ZRV Hybrid has a claimed boot space of 370L. An additional 10L of boot space is available thanks to an underfloor console, which can be used to store the parcel tray to free up an uninterrupted space if needed.

With the parcel tray placed in the underfloor console, the boot space measured up to the roof is expected to be 550L.

With the rear seats folded the space increases to 866L when measured up to the windowline and 1291L when measured up to the roof.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Powered Boot Lid

Convenience is expected to be a high priority for the ZRV Hybrid in India. A powered boot lid will be offered as standard, while features like a kick sensor to automatically open the boot lid as well as a unique walk-away close function is also expected to be offered for added convenience and feel good factor.

Honda ZR-V Safety & ADAS

Honda ZR-V Hybrid ADAS Camera

Honda Sensing ADAS technology in India is already offered on the City sedan and Elevate SUV. Since the ZRV Hybrid will be a halo product in India, it is expected to get ADAS tech as well. Honda Sensing is a camera-based ADAS system.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Sensor Suite

Apart from the front camera-based ADAS system, the ZRV Hybrid uses sonar sensors at the front and rear for parking assist and rear radar sensors for blind-spot monitoring as well as cross-traffic alerts.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Airbags

The petrol engine develops 142PS maximum power and 182Nm torque, while the electric motor develops 184PS maximum power and 315Nm torque. An automatic transmission and 4WD system can achieve a 0-100kmph time of 8 seconds.

ZR-V Hybrid Drive Modes

The ZRV Hybrid’s system can switch between engine-only, EV-only, hybrid drive and brake energy recovery mode automatically. In all drive modes, except sport, the system prioritises high fuel mileage over performance. The ZRV Hybrid mileage is claimed to be between 17.2kmpl to 20.8kmpl, depending on the testing method.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Drive Mode Select Switch

The 4WD system and strong petrol hybrid system can be set to either of 4 driving modes in the upcoming ZRV Hybrid – Economy, Normal, Snow and Sport.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid Regen Paddle Shifters

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

February 2, 2026

by Car Bima with No Comment Car Review

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.

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.

slight increase in exports

No relief even during festive season
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.

The Honda City and Amaze models have remained the brand’s popular sellers for years, only joined by the Elevate compact SUV this year

While SUVs will clearly be Honda’s priority over the next few years, the company will continue retailing its bread-and-butter models as well. The Honda Amaze is the brand’s most accessible offering and continues to average about 3,000 units every month, taking on the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Aura and Tata Tigor.

The Honda City, its most celebrated model in India, brings in about 1,500 units month on month. The numbers are on par with models like the Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus, which average a little over 1,500 units every month, while the new-generation Hyundai Verna is the segment bestseller bringing in over 2,500 units every month.

Sedans may have lost their popularity across segments over the years but there’s no denying that the cars continue to bring in considerable sales and revenue for automakers. Both the Honda Amaze and City enjoy admiration for their respective reliable engines, good build quality and easy ownership. Moreover, the Honda India plant not only caters to the domestic market but also exports both sedans overseas. The Right Hand Drive (RHD) Amaze and City are shipped to South Africa and the neighbouring countries around India. On the other hand, the Left Hand Drive (LHD) is exported to Mexico, Turkey and the Middle East market. Both models are built at the Tapukara plant in Rajasthan.

That said, the Honda Amaze is expected to get a new lease on life with the third generation reportedly in the works. The new-gen Amaze could arrive in 2024 and will be based on an evolution of the current version’s platform that has been around since 2018. It is also expected to get a design and feature revamp. The Honda City, meanwhile, holds a lot of importance in the APAC region, apart from India, with no announcements to discontinue the model in these markets. This still leaves room for the next generation to arrive in India when the model is ready globally.
