The Honda ZR-V 2025 Arrived in Brazil with a High Price, Costing R$ 214,000 at Launch. However, Recently, It Underwent a Significant Reduction, Dropping to R$ 169,900. With This New Pricing, It Became a More Competitive Option in the Mid-SUV Segment. But Is It Worth Investing in Now?
The Honda ZR-V has a design that divides opinions. The front is modern, with full LED headlights, but the grille may not please everyone. Some compare it to the HB20 due to the grille’s shape, which resembles a fish’s mouth. However, in the right color, it can stand out positively.
At the rear, the look is more balanced and may please Brazilians, who enjoy a robust design. The trunk offers 389 liters, which can reach 1,306 liters with the seats folded down.
Spacious and Comfortable Interior
Inside, the Honda ZR-V offers plenty of space. Those traveling in the back seat have comfort, mainly due to the flat center tunnel, allowing three passengers to settle in better. The sunroof adds a touch of sophistication, but it could be larger.

Costing R$ 16,000, the new Yamaha features a 125 cc hybrid engine with electric assistance, delivers 8.3 hp, includes ABS, optimized fuel consumption, Y-Connect connectivity, 25 liters of storage space, and a surprising 4-year warranty in the urban segment.
The finish is of good quality, but the excess of hard plastic may bother those expecting a higher level of sophistication for an SUV that originally cost over R$ 200,000.
Engine and Performance of This Honda SUV
Unlike most competitors that have already adopted turbo or hybrid engines, the Honda ZR-V retains a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine with 161 hp and 19.1 kgfm of torque, paired with a CVT that simulates seven gears.
This setup is known for its reliability but delivers less power and torque than rivals like the Volkswagen Taos and the Jeep Compass.
Weighing 1,446 kg, the ZR-V has a power-to-weight ratio of 8.9 kg/hp, which reflects in the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in about 12 seconds. This number is far from the performance of turbo models, which complete the same distance in less than 9 seconds.
On the consumption side, the figures are reasonable for a naturally aspirated engine:
- City: about 8.5 km/l.
- Highway: approximately 12.5 km/l.
The major issue is that the model is not flex, running only on gasoline.
Equipment and Technologies
The Honda ZR-V comes well-equipped, bringing items such as:
- Adaptive cruise control (ACC).
- Lane-keeping assistance.
- Full LED headlights.
- Comfortable seats upholstered in leather.
- Side camera to assist in overtaking.
Despite the good equipment, some absences stand out:
- Lack of air conditioning vents for the rear seats, something common in cheaper SUVs.
- Misaligned multimedia center, facing the passenger and not the driver.
- Absence of blind-spot alert, present in direct competitors.
Price and Cost-Benefit
From R$ 214,000 to R$ 169,900: what changes? The reduction of R$ 45,000 completely alters the positioning of the Honda ZR-V in the market. Previously, it competed with hybrid and turbo mid-SUVs, but now it enters the fight with naturally aspirated versions of models like the Toyota Corolla Cross and Jeep Compass.
This makes the model more appealing for those looking for a spacious, comfortable, and reliable SUV without worrying too much about performance.
