Honda has announced the UK pricing and trim specification details for its upcoming ZR-V crossover, which is essentially a high-riding SUV version of the Honda Civic.
Unveiled alongside the next-generation HR-V and the new all-electric e:Ny1 crossover last month, the ZR-V hybrid will become available to order in the UK in early July – powered by a re-tuned version of the Civic’s 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, mated to a pair of electric motors.
Three trim levels will be available to order, starting with the lead-in ‘Elegance’ trim. Front and rear parking sensors are included as standard, which works in tandem with a rear-view parking camera that can be viewed through the car’s nine-inch infotainment console.
The more expensive ‘Sport’ grade adds several cosmetic changes to make the crossover look a little more sporty, as well as synthetic leather interior trimmings and a motorised boot lid. The car’s cabin also gains wireless smartphone charging and LED ambient lighting.

Opting for the top-of-the-line ‘Advance’ trim introduces traditional leather upholstery on the seats and heated steering wheel, as well as a panoramic sunroof and a more expensive Bose sound system. This trim also includes a six-inch head-up display, which projects driving information onto the windscreen while the car is on the move.
With ZR-V prices starting at just south of £40k, this new Honda is markedly more expensive than the popular Nissan Qashqai e-Power (£34k) and hybrid versions of the Kia Sportage (£35k).
