The Honda ZR‑V brings sharper handling and a more premium-feeling cabin, while the Toyota Corolla Cross trades a bit of sparkle for everyday practicality, fuel-sipping reliability and stronger resale prospects. If you want a compact SUV that’s slightly more fun to drive and feels a touch upmarket, take the ZR‑V; if you need a fuss-free, roomy runabout that’s kinder to the wallet over time, the Corolla Cross is the smarter, safer bet.
