Honda presented three crossovers for the European market — CR-V, ZR-V and e: Ny1

Three Japanese brand SUVs will be available from old-world dealers towards the end of this year, prices to be announced later.

Honda presented several of its models for the European market; their debut took place as part of a special event event in Offenbach (Germany). One of the so-called new products was the sixth generation Honda CR-V crossover: in fact, its premiere took place in the USA in the summer of 2022, but now the model has reached the Old World. At the same time, American-assembled cars are delivered to Europe, and only with a hybrid “stuffing”, although in the States the model can also be bought with a gasoline engine.

European dealers will offer the Honda CR-V in e:HEV and e:PHEV variants. They are equipped with a power plant from its predecessor, which is based on a 2.0-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol, working in tandem with a 184-horsepower electric motor. At the same time, the rechargeable hybrid has a traction battery, the range of such a crossover when driving in a purely electric mode is 82 km. The company did not show e:HEV, but noted that the versions will differ due to the radiator grilles. Drive — front or full.

Also, the European line of Honda will be replenished with the crossover ZR-V: the model was also declassified last year, in the States it is presented under the name HR-V. These cars will go to old world dealers from Japan. The exterior of the SUV versions differs due, again, to the “grill” and bumpers. Europeans will be offered the ZR-V in the e:HEV version with a hybrid setup based on the same 2.0-liter engine. The European version of this crossover has only front-wheel drive.

Another novelty that will expand the Honda model range in Europe is the e:Ny1 all-electric crossover. It can be called a «green» version of the global SUV Honda HR-V (in Japan and China — Vezel). Probably, these battery-powered SUVs will be supplied to the old-world market from China, where the production of the «green» Honda e: NS1 and e: NP1 («twins» come off the assembly lines of various local joint ventures) is now launched.

«Electrocross» Honda e:Ny1 will be offered in Europe with a single 204-horsepower electric motor located on the front axle. It is equipped with a 68.8 kWh traction battery and has a range of 412 km on a single charge (based on the WLTP cycle). This SUV does not have all-wheel drive versions (like its Chinese counterparts).

Recall that in Last month, Honda showed several new crossovers. So, the coupe-like SUVs e:NS2 and e:NP2 acted as the next “twins”; their production in early 2024 will be launched in China at a joint venture with Dongfeng and GAC. Another novelty was the concept crossover e: N SUV (Prologue). The range of debutants was supplemented by the Honda e:N GT show car, which is not yet known.
