Expert Honda ZR-V review by CAR magazine UK: independent road test of the Nissan Qashqai, with photos, specs, prices and a verdict you can trust
has a simple UK line-up: just the 2.
Keyless entry is standard across the board, so you climb in, prod the start button and the Honda ZR-V is silent. It’s hybrid only and there’s some clever e:HEV tech at play that’s worth explaining.It’s essentially an identical powertrain to the Civic’s, with a relatively large 2.0-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine that is used to charge the small 1kWh onboard battery that powers the front wheels.
Sounds a bit complicated, works well in practice. Relying predominantly on electric motive power and some clever tuning of kilowatts and decibels means that the Honda ZR-V avoids the kind of mooing and soaring revs that have blighted most full hybrids since the genre was first invented with their elastically geared CVT gearboxes a quarter of a century ago. Honda was in the game early on with its radically styled Insight, remember. It’s got oodles of experience here.
It feels very like the Civic with a grown-up plump to proceedings. There’s little in the way of steering feel, but the helm is precise and quick to act, while the body control is fine for a car of this ilk. Lean on the chassis in corners and the body rolls a fair bit but we’d say the suspension is well judged for a family crossover.
