2024 Honda ZR-V

The 2024 Honda ZR-V Turbo is a sophisticated addition to the New Zealand mid-sized SUV market, sitting perfectly between the HR-V and CR-V to offer a more car-like driving experience. Powered by the proven 1.5L VTEC turbocharged engine, it delivers a healthy 131kW of power and 240Nm of torque through a smooth CVT. This powertrain provides a significantly more responsive and punchy feel than the naturally aspirated units found in the Toyota RAV4 GX or the base Mazda CX-5, making it an excellent choice for navigating hilly Kiwi terrain or merging onto the motorway with ease.
The interior of the ZR-V is heavily inspired by the latest Civic, featuring a premium cabin design with a high-quality honeycomb metal dash and soft-touch materials throughout. Despite being the Turbo trim, it is well-equipped with a 9-inch touchscreen featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and heated front seats for those frosty New Zealand mornings. The layout is exceptionally ergonomic, offering a lower, more car-like seating position while still maintaining the visibility and ground clearance expected of a modern SUV. Rear seat passengers are equally well-catered for with impressive legroom and dedicated air vents..
Safety is a core strength of this 2024 NZ-New model, featuring the full Honda Sensing suite as standard, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and autonomous emergency braking. As a 2024 vehicle, it comes with the absolute peace of mind provided by the balance of its 5-year unlimited kilometre factory warranty and 5 years of 24/7 roadside assistance. With its combination of sharp handling, advanced turbocharged performance, and a comprehensive safety package, the ZR-V Turbo is a standout, high-value alternative to the more common SUVs on our roads.
