Honda’s no-negotiation pricing means standardised discount deals of last year’s stock still in dealerships.
Honda has reduced the price of the top-spec ZR-V Hybrid as the brand looks to clear remaining stock of 2024-built models.
As with Honda’s nationwide no-haggle pricing model, the discount applied to the ZR-V hybrid is fixed, and applied to applicable stock around the country.
The discount covers vehicles with a 2024 build date, and brings the price of the ZR-V e:HEV LX down to $51,900 drive-away.
Previously, the hybrid ZR-V wore a $54,900 drive-away retail sticker.
The price adjustment brings the gap between the non-hybrid LX and its hybrid equivalent down to $2900, whereas previously there was a $5900 premium.
Pricing for the rest of the range remains unchanged at $37,900 for the ZR-V VTi X+, $43,400 for the VTi L+, and $49,000 for the VTi LX – all prices are drive-away and include on-road costs.
The discount offer runs in conjunction with Honda’s eight-year warranty promotion, in effect on all SUV models (HR-V, ZR-V, and CR-V) purchased between July 1 and September 30, 2025.
The extended warranty deal covers both 2024 and 2025-built vehicles, but the discount is specific to cars with a 2024 production date.
The Honda ZR-V e:HEV LX is powered by a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine and two-motor hybrid system producing 135kW and 315Nm combined.
While the engine, e-CVT automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive layout are shared with the CR-V, and both are classified as medium SUVs, the ZR-V is the smaller of the two vehicles, targeted at rivals like the Mazda CX-5.
In the first six months of 2025, the ZR-V has sold 3220 units compared to 6909 for the CR-V, both trailing the number-one selling medium SUV, the Toyota RAV4 on 24,034 units year-to-date.
Honda’s combined presence in the medium SUV under $60,000 sales class accounts for a 4.5 per cent market share, less than cars like the Subaru Forester (5.6 per cent), GWM Haval H6 (6 per cent), and Nissan X-Trail (7.4 per cent).
