     Performance and Driving Dynamics

    The All-New Honda ZR-V is engineered for instantaneous response with a turbo charged 1.5L i-VTEC DOHC engine that delivers 180hp@6000 rpm and a torque of 240Nm @ 1700-4500 rpm. Whether you’re accelerating from standstill or passing at speed, the turbocharged engine delivers a forceful response. It's mated to a new automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) that is tuned for a more natural response with early downshifts during braking for more fun feel. F1 inspired metal paddle shifters urge you to take manual control of the transmission, if you really want to have fun shift to the Sport mode, the meter changes to red and open that throttle.

     

    Drive Modes:

    ZR-V EX grades features driver-selectable drive modes. Using the toggle switch located in the center console, the driver can choose between three different drive modes to fine-tune the driving experience depending on conditions:

                  

  • NORMAL Mode: As the name suggests, all parameters are tuned to provide a balance between performance and fuel efficiency
  • SPORT Mode: Sport mode is more focused on delivering higher performance by faster throttle response and selecting a lower ratio of the CVT transmission.
  • ECON Mode: Econ mode prioritizes fuel economy by fine tuning the throttle control and CVT drive ratios.

     

     

    Chassis and Handling:

    The vehicles chassis and suspension are like the wings on an airplane, if the design is poor, they will not provide enough lift. If the chassis is not rigid or the suspension is simple and functional, it will have poor dynamics and uncomfortable for the occupants. Honda engineers have used extensive “hot stamp” and ultra-high strength steel, with multilink rear suspension comfort and handling.

  • Rear Suspension: Designed to work independently to each wheel, it provides superior handling compared to rigid torsion beam type. Mounted to the rear subframe which isolates road inputs for more supple and comfort.
  • Dual Pinion Steering: The steering pinion and electric motor are mounted on separate points, this layout provides excellent road feel and precise steering during high speed

      

    Advanced Safety with Honda Sensing TM

    Honda ZR-V is equipped with Honda SensingTM suite of active safety and driver assistive technologies that uses a new single-camera system which detects a wider view of the road ahead for enhanced recognition capability. Combined with software advances and a new, more powerful processor, the system is also capable of more quickly and accurately identifying other vehicles and make driving both easier and safer. This is available in both grades.

    The features include:

  • Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS): Designed to detect and alert the driver of a potential collision. It also reduces vehicle speed to minimize impact if a collision becomes unavoidable. CMBS function now detects oncoming vehicles when turning, bicycles crossing the street, pedestrians with no streetlight and motorcycles.
  • Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Low Speed Following allows the driver to set a desired speed and following distance from a vehicle detected ahead, allowing the ZR-V to adjust its speed automatically for a safe and comfortable journey. The LSF function can bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
  • Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS): Helps to keep vehicle in the middle of a detected lane, preventing it from accidentally drifting out of its lane.
  • Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM): Alerts driver when it detects the vehicle may have unintentionally deviated from its lane or is suddenly leaving the roadway altogether.
  • Lane Departure Warning: If the car moves out of its lane without you activating the indicator, visual alerts will flash with an audible sound, to help the driver to correct the lane drift.
  • Blind Spot Information System (Not Available in UAE): The BSI system assures you that every time you change lanes, it is safe to do so by providing visual and audible warning if a vehicle is detected in your blind spot.
  • Rear Cross Traffic Monitor (Not Available in UAE): Whether reversing out of a parking space or a busy street, the ZR-V has sensors located near the rear corners of the car which can detect approaching vehicles from either side in parking lots, driveways, or streets. A visual and audible warning is displayed on the display audio and even shows the direction of the vehicle so that you can reverse with confidence.

 

Other Safety Features

Continuing Honda’s' longstanding tradition of advancing safety performance, the Honda ZR-V introduces multiple new active and passive safety systems. Some of the additional safety systems include:

 

  • ACE™ Body Structure: The Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure in the Honda ZR-V has been enhanced for even better compatibility with larger vehicles with improved occupant protection in angled frontal collisions, with a new upper A-pillar structure, side frame and lower firewall structure, all designed to route crash energy around the cabin.
