The development of the ZR-V was led by model development manager Shuichi Ono. It was first unveiled in the United States on April 4, 2022 as the third-generation HR-V differentiated from the global model, in order to "meet the distinct needs of U.S. customers". Sales started in that market on June 7, 2022 for the 2023 model year. Later launches such as in China and Europe utilized the "ZR-V" nameplate as it is sold alongside the global HR-V in these markets. Chinese models are produced by both GAC Honda as the ZR-V and Dongfeng Honda as the HR-V respectively. European models will use full hybrid powertrain as standard.
According to Honda, the name "ZR-V" stands for "Z Runabout Vehicle", a reference to the Generation Z, and unrelated to Honda Z microcars.
