I've had mine two weeks and it's epic. 500 miles out of a tank = 42mpg. Hopefully it'll get better but it's an awesome car and certainly gets some double takes when people see it.

Sounds promising. I’m considering the advance in blue. How well does the Honda Navigation System work in terms on line traffic alerts as well the adaptive cruise control system?

the parcel shelf folds in half and can be used as either a boot divider or once folded be stored under the boot floor where it opens

Lovely vehicle, just been checking one out today at my local dealer. This was the advance model. I have now registered an interest with them and looking to get mine in July. I must say however, that in the UK you really get shafted with car prices, cannot believe how steep they are. In Gibraltar I am going to pay 34k for the top of the range advance. There are taxes and there are taxes. Cant believe how the country has managed to go into recession with that kind of daylight robbery from people's pockets. Oh and great objective review, thanks very much.

You can put the parcel shelf under the boot floor, it actually folds in half to fit into the storage space.

Another great review, Dave. It's a shame it's not an EV but I think it'll sell well. Honda has needed a mid-size SUV for a while. Like every other Honda, it will last and last and will be a faithful companion. Dogs and wheelchairs will fit nicely when the seats are down.

Had ours for about 10 weeks … I HATE the automatic braking when in cruise mode. I found that if I’m driving around a bend (on an A or B road) the front sensors can pick out a parked car & sharply apply the brakes. It’s bloody dangerous. Similarly, driving through contraflow roadworks, it ‘picks out’ or senses oncoming vehicles & brakes sharply. In the 10 or 12 times it has happened whilst I’ve been driving, luckily no vehicles were that close to cause an accident. But it can appear to a following vehicle, that I am ‘brake checking’ them. Honda dealership said that the computer cannot be overwritten to stop this. On a £40k car that is ludicrous.

Most cars I’ve had do this with adaptive cruise control. The golf GTD I had and a recent Nissan Ariya did it. Just one of those things it seems like.

Thank you a lot for posting this. ACC has MAX priority for me. I am testing now Tig III and ZRV 2024. Tiguan self-drives so smoothly. Curves, round abouts, everything with ACC enabled (using steering wheel only whrn car ask). He is so predictive, 20 km in t-jam- no problem, I sometimes touch the wheel only. Okay, I will check today ZRV, I ordered 2-hours driving test. 1 hour of self drive only.

Had my advance model 2 months and really like the car except for the beeping when you exceed the speed limit. Apart from that it ticks all the boxes. 600 miles on a full tank and currently getting 44 mpg which is steadily rising. Great review by the way.

Hi Duncan. Thank you so much for your comment. Unfortunately it's been a long while since I've worked with Volvo but who knows what 2024 will bring. The most premium of the 2 will be definitely be the XC40, but for value out of the 2 it would be the Honda. I would recommend driving both. I will endeavour to get Volvo back on the channel.

@AutoBears Жыл бұрын
Hi K, thank you for you comment. The ZR-V is quieter than the current CR-V as it has the old school hybrid system and you can hear the engine growling a bit. With the new Civic, ZR-V and new CR-V it uses the new system which is more refined and feels more like a traditional auto than a CVT. Hope that helps.
