Inside the new HR-V, every design element is dedicated to achieving a sense of generous spaciousness and airiness that connects occupants to the outside world, with levels of comfort and practicality unrivalled in the sub-compact SUV segment. Contemporary fabrics and textured materials create a solid, premium feel, with the quality of soft-touch materials.The interior was designed with a focus on space and light to elevate the sense of airiness in the cabin. This airy feeling is amplified by a unique ‘Air Diffusion System’ where L-shaped vents are positioned in the top corners of the dashboard. This new system addresses a disparity in traditional vent configurations, where passengers often feel uncomfortable with air flowing directly onto them. The system subtly directs a stream of air along the front side windows to the roof, creating a vortex of air beside and above occupants. The effect of these new vents does not impact directly on passengers but creates a comfortable internal environment for all.

Honda has revealed its all-new ZR-V at the brand’s European Media Event in Offenbach, Germany. Available from Autumn-2023, the all-new C-segment SUV offers the perfect blend of sophisticated styling, practicality and a purposeful driving experience.Lining up between HR-V and CR-V, the ZR-V is aimed at young, image conscious buyers who seek a stylish, powerful and fun to drive vehicle that can seamlessly integrate into their life. Beneath the sleek, stylish exterior is Honda’s full hybrid technology that shares DNA with the multi-award winning all-new Civic e:HEV. Acclaimed for its dynamic attributes, the Civic has proven that full hybrid vehicles can be engaging and fun to drive and the ZR-V extends this logic to the SUV C-segment.
The new Honda ZR-V presents a unique silhouette within the C-SUV segment through an attractive combination of sophisticated styling, a high-quality interior and an exhilarating yet comfortable ride. The new ZR-V has been designed to inspire confidence, enhance freedom and appeal to a wide diversity of European customers.Positioned between the HR-V and the new CR-V, the ZR-V is the latest Honda SUV to come standard with the highly acclaimed e:HEV hybrid powertrain. It has been revised for its application in this model and continues to provide a unique and exceptional combination of performance and efficiency in all driving situations, whether on the highway or off-road. So the efficient and powerful 2.0-litre direct-injected four-cylinder engine works together with two electric motors (generator and booster) to deliver exhilarating performance normally associated with sporty hatchbacks.The elegant exterior design of the ZR-V is defined by the timeless mix of smooth, uninterrupted surfaces that flow from front to rear, with precise gaps between the panels and well-defined details, such as the strong beltline. Beginning at the front with slim headlamps with clearly defined light signatures and a large, streamlined grille, the quiet appearance continues along the clean flanks and culminates in a bold rear bumper and taillights that seamlessly integrate with the tailgate.

First introduced in 1972, Honda has always defined the Civic as a ‘car for people of the world’. Now, building on 50 years of heritage and with over 27.5 million units sold across 170 countries, the 11th generation Civic represents a modern evolution of the model’s distinctive shape, and echoes the noiseless, elegant design that we have seen in recent Honda models introduced to Europe.Honda engineers followed a development ethos of ‘Exhilarating Civic’, focussing on how exterior and interior packaging can work together to create a more comfortable and refreshing in-car experience that will enhance owners’ everyday lives. By applying a unique human-centred approach to dynamics, design and usability, Honda has created a cabin with greater comfort, visibility and spaciousness than ever before.Following Honda’s ‘Man-Maximum, Machine-Minimum’ (M/M) development approach – which is based on the principle that the purpose of technology and design is to serve the needs of the driver and passengers – has resulted in an exhilarating driving experience. The Civic inspires confidence through tactile touchpoints, engaging handling and dynamics, and a powerful yet efficient drivetrain suitable for all driving requirements.Honda’s proven e:HEV powertrain technology comes as standard, completing the brand’s mission to electrify all its mainstream European models by the end of 2022. The hybrid powertrain uses a lithium-ion battery to power two compact electric motors that work together with a 2.0-litre direct-injection petrol engine. It offers stunning all-round performance through impressive energy density, thermal efficiency, and torque.Thanks to a tailored application for the new Civic, the e:HEV system is smoother with a more responsive power delivery and a greater sense of linear acceleration, as well as offering exceptionally high fuel efficiency and low CO2 emissions.
In its latest guise, the Civic embodies a new, progressive ‘exhilarating‘ approach to design. Coupled with Honda’s ‘Man-Maximum, Machine-Minimum’ (M/M) development principle, this joint approach has shaped all aspects of the Civic’s design and development.The all-new Civic features a sleek and sporty silhouette, which has been achieved through lowering the bonnet line 25mm over the previous generation, whilst the glass area has been increased to create a light and airy interior. To exude a refined, premium feeling, cleaner, noiseless, surfacing has been applied, with more defined belt and feature lines highlighting key details.The lower feature line enhances the assured stature of the vehicle, as well as giving improved visibility from the rear seats. In comparison to the previous generation Civic, the base of the A-pillar has been positioned further back to align with the centre of the front wheels, this gives the car a more balanced proportion in profile as well as a wider, more assured stance from all angles. The highest point of the roofline has been placed further forward than the previous Civic, with a gentle slope to the tailgate creating a sleek, fast-back style look.
The all-new HR-V delivers a unique and responsive driving experience, with exceptional efficiency delivered by Honda’s powerful and efficient two-motor e:HEV powertrain – featured as standard for the first time on a HR-V. The next-generation of the brand’s popular compact SUV offers class-leading space, comfort and utility, as well as advanced safety and technology features, all within a bold and sleek coupe-inspired form.Available in Europe from late 2021, the new HR-V is the latest model in Honda’s line-up to wear the e:HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) badge, following the refreshed CR-V and all-new Jazz that launched in 2020. It expands Honda’s electrified line up as the brand moves further towards its goal of electrifying all of its European mainstream models by 2022.The next-generation hybrid-only HR-V is the culmination of an extensive review of modern consumer attitudes. Having evaluated how today’s active, connected population identifies and selects high value products, Honda developed the HR-V not only as an all-new compact SUV, but as a consumer product that must appeal through desirability, functionality and usability.
The new HR-V e: HEV, which will be marketed exclusively equipped with hybrid technology, is set to be a benchmark in the competitive B-SUV segment. Exceptional efficiency, attractive design and superior functionality make the HR-V a car designed to meet the needs of today's consumer.The HR-V stands out on the outside for a premium coupe-style SUV design, while on the inside it offers great breadth and space. All this complemented by the e: HEV hybrid technology of two electric motors connected to a 1.5-liter i-VTEC petrol engine that offers a power of 96 kW (131 hp) and a maximum torque of 253 Nm at 4,500 rpm.The new HR-V is also equipped with the Honda SENSING system, and includes a host of advanced safety technologies and class-leading driver assistance.
