Honda updated the ZR-V compact SUV lineup in Japan last month. All models now include the e:HEV powertrain with a 2.0-liter gas engine and two-motor hybrid system, along with the choice of front- or all-wheel drive. Customers seeking to enhance and personalize their rides can select new accessories from Honda Access.
The selection of Premium Style themed-accessories from Honda Access has been expanded, offering the opportunity to further energize the ZR-V’s visual appeal with a customized look.
A new Premium Style front grille features a horizontal design that’s said to create a more sophisticated look. It features a two-tone color combo of Dusk Gray Metallic and Berlina Black. Also available separately is a front lower skirt, and LED fog lights (shown above).
Additional Premium Style accessories include a side lower garnish, tailgate spoiler, rear lower garnish, rear license plate garnish, door mirror covers, black emblems, and 19-inch alloy wheels.
Honda Access also offers accessories for the new Cross Touring Special Edition model that joins the ZR-V lineup for 2026. Cross Touring comes standard with a honeycomb pattern grille, black 18-inch alloy wheels, and a beige color-themed interior.
Accessory choices to enhance Cross Touring include body side moldings, side step garnish, puddle lights, sport pedals, and LED tailgate light.
While select models of the ZR-V feature a 9.0-inch Honda Connect display, Honda Access offers a new 11.4-inch “Gathers” Honda Connect Navigation system as an accessory (shown above installed in a STEP WGN minivan). It supports Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and includes an enlarged map display area.
Note: Features, specifications and availability of accessories for Japan market models are subject to change without notice.
