It may be a cheaper trim level but it's already at the high cost end of this comparison, so getting one even more expensive wouldn't make sense.

Of course the ZR-V (US market HR-V) would be a more apt comparison as it's larger, but that's not fully out to market yet and unless it's vastly more spacious, it would have nothing really going for it compared to these rivals since it's purposefully made to be as bland and "just okay" as possible to mass appeal to people in the US who hate driving and do it just cause they have to. It's really a blessing we here in Europe got the HR-V we did, and the ZR-V is probably only coming over as a filler car in case we don't get another CR-V.
