Honda ZR-V Makes India Debut Alongside City Facelift, Gets Hybrid Powertrain

Honda Cars India has revealed the ZR-V for the Indian market alongside the City Facelift. The flagship SUV of the brand will be sold in the country as a completely built unit (CBU) import and will be available in limited numbers. The brand is yet to announce the pricing and the launch date for the car. However, consumers interested in the car can pre-book it before the deliveries begin in July 2026.

Honda ZR-V: Design

This is complemented by the presence of a black vertical-slat grille. The bumper features functional air vents on both ends and a blacked-out lower end. Looking at it from the side, the SUV features 18-inch alloy wheels with rather big wheel arches.
