The Honda ZR-V range now opens at $37,900 drive-away for 2025, thanks to a $2000 price cut.

    The rest of the mid-sized SUV range is unchanged in terms of pricing, and Honda hasn’t confirmed any specification changes.

    “Honda Australia continually reviews and assesses the product offering and pricing across the range to meet market and consumer demands,” said a company spokesperson.

    It’s the latest price cut for the bottom end of the ZR-V range.

    At launch in 2023, the VTi X was priced at $40,200 drive-away. This was subsequently reduced to $39,500 drive-away in 2024, with a new VTi X+ featuring blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert added and priced at $39,900 drive-away.

    The VTi X was subsequently dropped, as was the VTi L that was effectively supplanted by the VTi L+.

    Honda categorises the ZR-V as another mid-sized SUV, slotting in under the larger (but still mid-sized) CR-V.

    The company delivered 4092 ZR-Vs last year, making it more popular than the smaller HR-V (3350 deliveries) but slower selling than the CR-V (5547 deliveries).
