2023 Honda ZR-V price and specs

After confirming pricing for its new ZR-V earlier this month, Honda Australia has now released full specifications for its new mid-sized crossover.

It’s on sale now.

It slots in between the HR-V and CR-V in Honda’s line-up and will compete against the likes of the Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4; the next-generation CR-V, revealed last year but not yet introduced in Australia, has grown in size.

All models come with a five-year Honda Connect subscription, which allows you to use a smartphone app to remotely control the lights, climate control and door locks and to view information on the vehicle.

Other features include automatic collision detection and a geofence and speed alert.

The Civic-based ZR-V uses an “enhanced version of Honda’s global architecture”, and features MacPherson strut front and independent multi-link rear suspension.

“The Honda ZR-V is Honda Australia’s first, brand-new core model to be introduced in Australia in 20 years. We are truly excited for the launch of the Honda ZR-V into the Australian market and to provide customers even more choice when considering the Honda brand” said Honda Australia director Carolyn McMahon.
