- Honda just introduced three new SUVs this month:

- the e:Ny1 which is a kind of HRV with an electric motorisation (B/C segment) 4.39 m long equipped with a 150 kW (204 hp) electric motor and a 69 kWh battery capacity,

- the ZRV which is a 4.57m long C-segment SUV based on the Civic sedan and powered by a 2-liter full hybrid (HEV) engine developing 184 hp (or 135 kW)

- the new generation of the 4.70 m long CRV equipped with the same full hybrid engine as the ZRV and for the first time a 2-litre plug-in hybrid engine (PHEV). The price is estimated at 45,000 euros for the e:Ny1, 40,000 euros for the ZRV and 50,000 euros for the CRV.

- The ZRV is expected to be the best-selling of the three in Europe. Honda presents it as the SUV version of the Civic, 2 cm longer but above all 20 cm higher. The problem is that Honda's market share in Europe has been steadily shrinking over the years, and so you shouldn't expect big sales figures for the ZRV, and even less for the other two new SUVs.

- Honda is instead targeting the Chinese and American markets. Indeed, these three new models are made in China. They will therefore be imported into Europe from China.

- The ZRV, which fits into the Honda range between the HRV and the CRV, competes in Europe with C-segment SUVs such as the Volkswagen Tiguan (4.52 m), Renault Austral (4.51 m), Peugeot 3008 (4.45 m), Citroën C5 Aircross (4.50 m), Kia Sportage (4.52 m) and Hyundai Tucson (4.50 m). The e:NY1 instead faces the Peugeot e-2008, Opel e-Mokka, Hyundai Kona e, Smart 01 and Volvo EX30.
