2024 Honda ZR-V Summary

Hyundai Venue, Mazda CX-30, Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, Toyota Corolla Cross… the list of box-fresh SUVs that have cropped up in the last decade could go on and on, and it’s no secret why.

SUVs are absolutely hot property right now and everyone wants to get onto the bandwagon with the right model and the right size, which explains the all-new Honda ZR-V.

Positioned above the HR-V but below the CR-V, Honda calls the ZR-V its mid-size SUV competitor that is designed to steal sales away from the in-demand Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4.

So, does this new Honda really have what it takes to take on the best-selling SUVs in Australia?
