Honda is preparing to launch the Japan-imported ZR-V strong-hybrid SUV in India. Expected at ₹40-45 lakh, the E20-compliant CBU targets premium buyers seeking engineering and hybrid performance over SUV size, sunroof and feature-led appeal.

Why this matters

The ZR-V extends Honda's India push after its Activa e electric scooter launch and follows the brand's CBU ZR-V entry targeting Grand Vitara and Hyryder buyers.
