The Big Surprise - Life with Honda ZR-V
Growing up, not old
You’re never too old for a surprise party with the Honda ZR-V. In fact, you can bring the party with you. The sporty SUV with all the tech, space, and style to remind you that growing up doesn’t have to mean feeling old.
The sun is just beginning to rise as a sleek, modern Honda ZR-V sits patiently on the driveway, ready for the day ahead. A couple is busy loading the car, their excitement bubbling over as they stack in bags and gear for the weekend getaway. It’s a special day - though the husband doesn’t know just how special yet. His wife has planned this getaway as a birthday surprise, and she’s kept the destination a secret.
The spacious boot seems to effortlessly accommodate everything - even a portable pizza oven! Their small, energetic dog eagerly hops into the back, its tail wagging with anticipation.
As they finish loading the last of their bags, he takes a moment to admire the ZR-V’s sleek lines and modern design, unaware that it’s going to play a key role in making this birthday one to remember. His wife can’t help but grin as she opens the driver’s door, excited not just for the journey ahead but for the big surprise waiting at the end of it. With everything packed up, she starts the engine, giving him a playful wink as they roll off the driveway and into the early morning light, leaving him to wonder what other surprises the day has in store.
As they settle in and start the engine, the panoramic sunroof offers a breathtaking view of the sky above. With the open road ahead, they share a laugh, and the ZR-V purrs smoothly along, hugging the curves of the road like it's made for this kind of adventure.
The heads-up display projects essential information directly onto the windshield, keeping the driving experience seamless and futuristic. The car’s impressive performance and handling are showcased as they glide effortlessly through winding roads and scenic views.
Before long, the connected navigation system announces their arrival: they've reached their cozy lodge tucked away in nature. They park next to the lodge and step out, admiring how the ZR-V looks right at home against the stunning backdrop of towering trees and rugged wilderness.
Unloading is effortless. With just a touch, the ZR-V’s automatic boot opens smoothly, revealing the carefully packed bags inside. As they unpack, there’s a certain calm in the air—the kind that only comes when you’ve escaped the rush of everyday life and arrived at a peaceful retreat. They share a smile, both sensing that this is just the beginning of a relaxing and memorable getaway.
Once inside the cozy lodge, the couple sets their bags down and takes a moment to soak in the atmosphere. The rustic charm of the cabin feels like a warm embrace, with its wooden beams and large windows framing the serene beauty of the surrounding forest. It’s a peaceful contrast to the modern comforts of the ZR-V. The lodge has a certain timelessness to it, making them feel like they’ve stepped away from the bustle of the everyday world.
They take a brief tour of the lodge, admiring the attention to detail in every corner. The inviting living space, cozy bedrooms, and a kitchen perfect for the surprises still in store all add to the sense of excitement. But it’s the outdoors that truly calls to them. Stepping outside, they make their way down to the pier that stretches out onto a crystal-clear lake.
With a grin, the birthday boy hops into the Honda ZR-V and cranks up the music, the sound filling the night air through the powerful Bluetooth system. He expertly maneuvers the car, parking it so that its headlights cast a perfect glow across the pier, illuminating the lakeside like a private dance floor. The energy shifts as his friends begin to dance, laughter echoing through the trees. Under the stars, with the ZR-V lighting up the scene, they dance and celebrate, the perfect end to a day full of surprises and adventure.
ENHANCED DRIVING EXPERIENCE
The ZR-V provides a complete driving experience thanks to its ergonomic design. Features such as body-stabilising front seats, intuitive driving controls and a clear view of the road are examples of what we mean by this. Put simply, everything is intended to make you feel at one with the car.
Naturally, driver comfort and innate quality are paramount in a vehicle of this class. The way things look, sound, feel and function should reassure and delight. Special attention has been paid to the car’s construction so that any vibration is comprehensively absorbed, contributing to your well-being and letting you focus clearly on the drive. Inside the ZR-V is a fabulous place to be.
An informed driver is a better driver.
That’s why the ZR-V’s crystal-sharp, digital multi-info display really scores, with everything presented logically and clearly in front of the driver. On the Advance grade, there is also a head-up display that communicates essential data even more quickly. More proof of Honda’s commitment to enhancing the driving experience.
The latest-generation Honda CONNECT infotainment, with smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, is standard on all models and accessed via a centrally mounted 9″ touchscreen.
Additionally, it includes satellite navigation and DAB digital radio, bringing you a new world of audio content. Also available on selected grades is a premium Bose audio system. This is an audiophile’s paradise, with twelve Bose speakers, optimally positioned to deliver full surround sound.
COMFORT FOR EVERYONE
Premium materials surround you in the ZR-V. Noiseless design is the name we give the appearance of its sweeping, cohesive fascia. Detailed accents on the interior, multiple recharging ports and personal storage throughout the cabin make the ZR-V a pleasing experience for all. With calm, ambient lighting and a sliding panoramic glass roof on the Advance grade, we’ve designed the ZR-V’s cabin around modern life. Heated front and rear seats are swathed in leather upholstery to ensure maximum comfort and a luxurious, sporty feel.

The ZR-V is equipped with stylish LED lights at the front and rear. The high beam support system automatically adjusts the headlights’ dip setting leaving you free to concentrate on the driving. On the Advance grade, active corner lights provide additional functionality when turning, and the adaptive driving beam lights up the road ahead without distracting other traffic.
SAFETY TECHNOLOGY
The ZR-V comes with the latest iteration of the Honda SENSING driver assistance technology as standard. With Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist System and much more, you can have peace of mind that you are as safe as possible on the road.
