Honda ZR-V Review: Is this Civic-based SUV the best-in-class?

The Honda ZR-V sits in the sweet spot of the Honda range—larger than the HR-V but more compact and agile than the CR-V. But the real secret is what’s underneath; it's heavily based on the legendary Honda Civic. We're finding out if this "Civic SUV" is actually the smartest choice in a crowded market full of Sportages, Qashqais, and Tiguans.

We're putting Honda's clever e:HEV hybrid system to the test to see if it delivers the perfect balance of 184hp performance and impressive fuel efficiency. From the premium, button-filled interior to the surprisingly sporty handling, we’re looking at why this might be the best-driving hybrid SUV in its class. Does it justify the premium price tag, or does the small 380-litre boot let it down? Let’s find out!
