Compact SUVs are not necessarily the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to tuning. Even with the sporty tuner brand Honda, the SUV models only play a subordinate role when it comes to modifications and refinement. But it doesn't have to stay that way, and so the Honda in-house tuner Mugen thought of bringing a body kit for the new Honda ZR-V onto the market, which should upgrade the visually inconspicuous SUV. The first teaser image of the components developed by Mugen has now appeared on the web and we would like to present the restyling kit to you.
Subtle tuning parts!
An aluminum strip was installed on the lower part of the bumper to enhance the conservatively designed front end. There are also new ones side skirts on the vehicle, which also have an aluminum look. New, larger-diameter alloy wheels will also likely be available. There may also be a larger one roof spoiler and a Sports exhaust system and modified suspension components by Mugen for the ZR-V. The small Honda SUV will probably be equipped with an e:HEV drive that generates a system output of 184 hp. There may also be a smaller hybrid drive, in which the petrol engine achieves a system output of 131 hp with the help of an electric unit. It is quite certain that it is a front-wheel drive vehicle that has an automatic transmission. We can't say anything about performance and top speed either.
Our conclusion:
- A visual upgrade by Mugen parts is good for the vehicle. The tuning company would like to expand its focus to include Honda's SUV models in order to win new customers.
