Design

• The Honda ZR-V features a sober fascia with sleek LED headlight clusters and L-shaped LED DRLs along with a hexagonal slatted grille, with the Honda logo placed right above it.

• There are slim air intakes located on each side of the front bumper and a honeycomb mesh-like pattern in the lower portion to complement the grille for an aggressive look.

• It’s from the sides that you notice the long front overhang of the SUV and a sloping roofline to give it a crossover stance.

• Honda has given it roof rails, clean door panels, gloss-black wheel cladding and a conventional set of door handles. The B- and C-pillars have been blacked out to give it a floating roof-like effect and it gets gloss black cladding all around.

• The ZR-V rides on 18-inch dual-tone alloy wheels that fill up the arches well.

• It gets individual wraparound LED tail lights, a big rear windshield, the ‘ZR-V’ and ‘e:HEV’ badges on the tailgate, dual exhaust tips, and a chunky rear bumper having a gloss black finish.

• When its dimensions are considered, Its length comes close to that of the likes of the MG Hector and Tata Harrier, meaning it is positioned above the Elevate SUV in Honda’s Indian lineup. You can also check out our detailed image gallery for a closer look at the ZR-V.
