Honda ZR-V

March 2024

WE MUST KICK OFF THIS MONTH'S UPDATE WITH A SMALL ROUND OF applause for the Honda ZR-V. You see, it has slipped into daily life with consummate ease here at TG. It's simply an extremely easy car to live with. The powertrain may sound complex with its twin electric motors, petrol powered motor generator and Honda's 'Linear Shift Control', but from the driver's seat there isn't any real sense of the engineering that's going on underneath. And that's a compliment, honest. The ZR-V is quiet, reasonably refined and actually much more comfortable than I gave it credit for when I first drove this car on the launch in Spain.

Honda ZR-V

REPORT 2 €42,895 OTR/£43,545 as tested/£439 pcm

WHY IT'S HERE Three months with a ZR-V: can we figure out what it's actually for?

Cupra Raval

The Cupra Raval is a smaller Born, as the Ibiza is a smaller Leon. Except... not. First, Cupra had design freedom for the Raval, whereas the Born is a VW ID.3 in lipstick. Second, the Raval is FWD, the Born rear. It's first of a posse of VAG small EVs, engineered by Cupra/Seat in Barcelona. We drove a near finished disguised prototype – the visual reveal comes later.
