Touring model costs R$24.500 more than the HR-V, but doesn't have as many differences. Honda has finally put its new sport utility vehicle in the SUV ring.

Baptized ZR-V, the vehicle arrives in a unique version, Touring, priced at R$ 24.500 more than its older brother, the HR-V. The estimate of Honda is good, planning to import 1000 units per month. The big question is: is he worth it all? And will you be able to beat the competition?

O ZR-V arrives with a full LED anti-glare headlight, following the standards of the segment. The daytime running lights and the yellow arrow are also present.

The front grille has a half-circle shape, and the car also features black bumpers with a small spoiler. Front parking sensor also comes standard.

One of the biggest complaints is regarding the 17-inch wheels with 215/60 tires. Some critics believe that they are disproportionate to the size of the car.

On the other hand, brake discs are ventilated at the front and solid at the back, a detail that counts in favor. Rear space really is ample, thanks to the 2,65 m wheelbase. However, the ZR-V fails to offer an air outlet for rear seat passengers, a feature even present in the HR-V.

With a capacity of 389 liters, the ZR-V's trunk is not surprising, but it is larger than that of the HR-V. The electric opening, however, was an item forgotten by the Sling, which raises questions about the cost-benefit of the vehicle.

2.0 aspirated engine

O engine is 2.0 aspirated, which delivers 161 horsepower. He is not a masterpiece in terms of performance, but meets everyday needs.

The infotainment system of the ZR-V is very similar to the HR-V. Physical controls are present to facilitate navigation, and Android Auto only works with a cable, while Apple CarPlay is wireless.

The ZR-V undoubtedly has its merits. However, for the price of R$24.500 more than the HR-V, there are points that are left to be desired, such as the absence of a rear air outlet and the trunk without an electric opening. Only time will tell if the Brazilian market will welcome this Honda launch, which has an optimistic estimate, planning import 1000 units per month.
