Chronology
Predecessor

The Honda ZR-V (called the Honda HR-V in North America and China) is a compact crossover SUV (C-segment) produced by Honda. [5] [6] Positioned between the global market HR-V/Vezel/XR-V and the CR-V, the vehicle shares its platform with the eleventh-generation Civic. [5]

Contents

The development of the ZR-V was led by model development manager Shuichi Ono. [7] It was first unveiled in the United States on 4 April 2022 as the third-generation HR-V differentiated from the global model, in order to "meet the distinct needs of U.S. customers". [8] Sales started in that market on 7 June 2022 for the 2023 model year. Later launches such as in China and Europe utilized the "ZR-V" nameplate as it is sold alongside the global HR-V in these markets. Chinese models are produced by both GAC Honda as the ZR-V and Dongfeng Honda as the HR-V respectively. European models will use full hybrid powertrain as standard. Models sold in Europe are manufactured in China at GAC Honda's Huang Pu Plant. [9] [10]

According to Honda, the name "ZR-V" stands for "Z Runabout Vehicle", a reference to the Generation Z, and unrelated to Honda Z microcars.
