When it is released, the ZR-V will compete with vehicles such as the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Toyota Urban Cruiser, and Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza.


Honda, the Japanese carmaker, is planning to launch a sub-4-meter small SUV in the Indian market. The tiny SUV, dubbed the ZR-V, was initially previewed at the presentation of the Honda BR-V last month. The ZR-V, based on the same chassis as the BR-V, will allegedly have the same engine unit as the Honda Amaze and will go on sale in mid-2022. The teasers for the future ZR-V show that the SUV will be influenced by Honda's other small SUV, the BR-V. The front of the automobile has a similar black grille design that houses the vertical fog lamp. The sleep headlights and LED Daytime Running Lamps are entirely in tune with the SUV's appearance and provide a stylish touch to it.

The teaser showed a white form of the car with a black roof, wind mirrors, roof tails, and B-pillars. A thick black cladding running over the arches and doors gave the ZR-V a more sporty appearance. As previously stated, the SUV will be powered by the same 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine used in the Amaze. The engine is capable of producing up to 90 PS of power and 110 Nm of peak torque. The engine is available with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or a CVT automated transmission unit.
