• The updated SUV gains a new Cross Touring trim and styling kit.
  • A revised grille swaps vertical slats for a cleaner horizontal look.
  • Honda Access offers extensive exterior and interior upgrades.

The 2027 Honda ZR-V in Japan has just picked up a mild update, including a new Cross Touring trim that leans heavily on the look of the US-spec HR-V. For anyone who finds that a bit too familiar, Honda is also rolling out a fresh styling kit through its official accessories catalog.

The “Premium Style” bodykit from Honda Access ditches the ZR-V’s toothy vertical grille slats for a cleaner horizontal layout. It pairs a Dusk Gray Metallic trim strip with a Berlina Black background. You could argue it’s a bit like giving the SUV braces, though in this case, the result feels closer to the restrained grille design of the previous-generation CR-V.

The grille pairs with a carry-over splitter, side skirts, and rear diffuser, all finished in an aluminum-style look. Buyers can also specify Berlina Black inserts for the front bumper, along with a matching tailgate garnish and roof spoiler. A set of 19-inch Gunpowder Black alloy wheels rounds things out, giving the ZR-V a more planted stance.

Owners of the ZR-V Cross Touring special edition can also add rugged door moldings, designed to complement the variant’s unique side skirts that resemble side steps.

Beyond the bodykit, the catalogue runs deep. Exterior options include mirror caps, door handle protection covers, window visors, mudguards, license frames, blacked-out emblems, and bi-color LED fog lights in white and yellow.

Inside, Honda Access adds illumination to the side steps, center console storage, footwells, cupholders, and even the inside of the tailgate, along with paddle lights. The range also covers floor mats and luggage trays, waterproof seat covers, an 11.4-inch Gathers Honda navigation system, an eight-speaker audio upgrade, and several pet-friendly accessories for the cabin.

Pricing varies depending on how far you go. The Premium Style kit costs ¥255,200 ($1,600), while the 19-inch wheels add ¥233,200 ($1,500). Bi-color LED fog lights are priced at ¥79,200 ($500), and black badges come in at ¥17,600 ($110). For something more performance-oriented, the Yamaha Performance Damper Set is available at ¥143,000 ($900), standing as the only under-the-skin upgrade.

The Cross Touring side moldings are listed at ¥38,500 ($240), while the 11.4-inch Honda Connect navigation system costs ¥333,850 ($2,100). Interior lighting components total ¥149,600 ($940), with floor mats at ¥57,200 ($360), wireless charging at ¥30,800 ($200), and the eight-speaker audio upgrade at ¥63,800 ($400).

If you were to select every available option from the Honda Access catalogue for the ZR-V, the total would climb to an additional ¥1,377,750 ($8,700), on top of the model’s starting price of ¥3,707,000 ($23,200). That is a hefty outlay for accessories, landing surprisingly close to what you would spend on a full set of Mugen upgrades for the same SUV.
