Used Honda ZR-V for sale

The ZR-V gets Honda’s clever Sensing package of assistance features. As a result, you’ll find features such as collision mitigating braking system, lane keep assistance and adaptive cruise control included as standard, bolstering this car’s safety even further.It also comes with blind spot detection, which will activate a light in the wing mirror if it detects a vehicle in your blind spot.

There’s just one engine offering with the ZR-V. It’s a 2.0-litre petrol hybrid system, which uses a pair of electric motors and a battery. Cleverly, the engine is used more as a generator for the electric motors and doesn’t ever really directly power the wheels, which gives a driving experience more like an electric vehicle. It’s all linked to a single-speed automatic gearbox and, because it’s a standard hybrid, you don’t need to charge it up from the plug.

There’s a suite of sensors aboard the ZR-V to help with parking, with both front and rear detectors there alongside a rear-view camera. All cars get LED headlights as standard, too, as well as a nine-inch infotainment display and a 10.2-inch digital instrument panel ahead of the driver. You get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, too, so mirroring your smartphone on the car’s main screen should be a breeze.

Thanks to that hybrid setup, you should be able to get between 48.7 and 49.6mpg during mixed driving. Unlike plug-in hybrids, the ZR-V can only travel on electric power for very short periods and at very low speeds.

The ZR-V is aimed at family owners, so double-check that any used example you’re looking at hasn’t suffered from interior damage, or any scratches or dings caused by buggies and prams. Give the wheels a check over for any kerbing damage, too. If you're worried about any other issues with the ZR-V, then you might want to get an AA Vehicle Inspection. With this service, a trained engineer will come out to look at the car in question and relay any issues they discover to you via a full, detailed report.
