2026 Honda ZR-V compact SUV pricing and updates confirmed

Honda Australia has detailed pricing and specifications for its updated 2026 ZR-V range, with the mid-size SUV gaining expanded hybrid availability and additional technology across the line-up.

The refreshed ZR-V arrives as part of a mid-cycle update, with Honda extending its e:HEV hybrid system to more variants. Hybrid models now start from $43,400, while the entry-level petrol VTi X is priced from $39,900, both before on-road costs.

The range continues to offer a mix of petrol and hybrid powertrains. The standard model uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine driving the front wheels, while hybrid versions pair a 2.0-litre Atkinson-cycle petrol engine with a dual-motor system. The flagship e:HEV LX adds all-wheel drive capability, topping the range at $51,900.

Alongside the powertrain changes, Honda has introduced a broader suite of driver assistance and connectivity features. Updates include the latest Honda Connect system (Gen 2) with Google built-in functionality, allowing access to apps, navigation and voice control directly through the infotainment system.

Safety technology has also been expanded, with post-collision braking now included, along with updates to the Honda Sensing suite of driver assistance systems. These changes are aimed at improving both active safety and ease of use.

Inside, the ZR-V continues to focus on practicality and everyday usability, with seating for five and a layout suited to urban driving. While the update does not dramatically alter the vehicle’s design, it builds on the model’s positioning as a city-friendly SUV with a balance of efficiency and performance—particularly in hybrid form.

Honda is also maintaining its ownership program, which includes a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, roadside assistance for the same period, and a capped-price servicing plan.

The ZR-V update forms part of a broader push for electrification in Honda’s local line-up. The company plans to expand its hybrid offerings further, including updates to the HR-V, while also preparing to introduce its first fully electric model to Australia later in 2026.

Orders for the updated ZR-V are now open through Honda’s online platform and dealer network.
