Honda strengthens Premium Portfolio with New City and All-New ZR-V e:HEV

Honda Cars India Ltd. (HCIL), one of India’s leading premium car manufacturers, has announced the launch of the New Honda City alongside the India premiere of its globally acclaimed hybrid SUV, the All-New Honda ZR-V e:HEV.

Celebrating Honda’s enduring legacy of sporty design and engineering excellence, the two new models arrive as ‘Two Sporty Icons’, crafted for customers seeking premium styling, dynamic performance, cutting-edge technology and a refined driving experience.

The unveiling also marks a pivotal milestone for Honda in India with the introduction of the Honda ZR-V, a globally successful premium hybrid SUV now making its much-anticipated debut in the Indian market.

Positioned as products for a new era of premium mobility, both models reinforce Honda’s strategic intent to strengthen its presence in the country through sophisticated design language, electrified mobility and elevated driving appeal.

The New Honda City continues its iconic legacy with sharper sporty styling, enhanced sophistication and enriched interiors featuring new-age technology and added convenience features. Staying true to Honda’s signature engaging driving dynamics, the sedan will be offered in both Petrol and e:HEV Strong Hybrid variants, giving customers the flexibility to choose between refined petrol performance and advanced electrified mobility.

Meanwhile, the All-New Honda ZR-V assumes the role of the company’s new flagship SUV for the Indian market. Internationally recognised for its striking SUV styling, exhilarating performance, impressive fuel efficiency and premium craftsmanship, the ZR-V is powered by Honda’s advanced 2.0-litre e:HEV Sports Hybrid powertrain.

The premium SUV has already established a formidable global presence, with cumulative sales crossing 8 lakh units since 2022. Honda is positioning the ZR-V for discerning Indian buyers seeking an aspirational SUV experience that blends sophistication, sporty character and advanced hybrid technology.

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Takashi Nakajima, President & CEO, Honda Cars India Ltd., said, “Today’s event marks the beginning of HCIL’s New Phase of accelerated growth in the market. India is among the top 3 focus markets to realize Honda’s future growth which will be driven by a strong pipeline of new products and our efforts to achieve cost competitiveness.
