Honda’s three hybrid SUVs are being updated to offer improved perceived quality and plenty of technology, starting at 29,460 €.
Honda updates its lineup of electric SUVs with redesigned models, improved features, and new customization options. The HR-V now comes in the Advance Sport trim, the ZR-V introduces new colors and safety technologies, while the CR-V expands its plug-in hybrid options with a more affordable version.
The updates retain the brand’s existing electrified powertrains. The HR-V and ZR-V use a self-charging hybrid system, whereas the CR-V offers a choice between this technology and the plug-in version, which achieves up to 78 kilometers of electric range per WLTP cycle.

The announced prices start at 29,460 euros for the HR-V, 38,050 euros for the ZR-V, and 45,545 euros for the rechargeable hybrid CR-V. In all cases, the listed prices apply to units financed through Honda Bank and are subject to their terms.
