2024 Honda ZR-V Summary

Hyundai Venue, Mazda CX-30, Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, Toyota Corolla Cross… the list of box-fresh SUVs that have cropped up in the last decade could go on and on, and it’s no secret why.

SUVs are absolutely hot property right now and everyone wants to get onto the bandwagon with the right model and the right size, which explains the all-new Honda ZR-V.

Positioned above the HR-V but below the CR-V, Honda calls the ZR-V its mid-size SUV competitor that is designed to steal sales away from the in-demand Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4.

So, does this new Honda really have what it takes to take on the best-selling SUVs in Australia?

2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Summary

The 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has a new high-tech powertrain that allows it to run as an electric car, or run using the petrol engine, or even use both at the same time. 

But the new hybrid SUV is not like a Toyota hybrid - because this one can be plugged in at home to recharge the batteries, and you should be able to get at least 50 kilometres of EV driving out of just a few dollars worth of electricity.

We’re talking about the new 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Plug-in Hybrid EV, or PHEV as we’ve called it in the past. The brand has renamed it to include both ‘Hybrid’ and ‘EV’ in the name because, well, it reckons those terms have a bit more cut-through today than when the company first launched its Outlander PHEV back in 2014.

But with the new Eclipse Cross PHEV variants attracting a huge premium over the regular petrol-turbo models, does the extra money buy you a better car? Let’s find out.
