The Honda ZR-V is a standout in Honda’s line-up. A dynamic and sporty SUV,  positioned between the HR-V’s compact focus and the CR-V’s full family capacity, making it big enough for premium comfort, yet small enough to stay nimble and fun. 

So for the launch campaign, we introduced the Honda ZR-V as "The perfectly city-sized SUV", positioning it as an antidote to a category increasingly dominated by larger vehicles designed around adventure, escape and off-road aspirations.

At the heart of the campaign is a provocative question: "You don't live on a farm, so why drive a tractor?"

The new creative platform is designed to give the ZR-V its own identity and a clear position in the Honda lineup, unapologetically owning urban driving – the kind of driving most of us do day in, day out. This is a deliberate shift away from the category peloton who continue to focus on weekend getaways and rugged outdoor adventures, overvaluing the imagined SUV getaway (which we might do a few times a year) all the while undervaluing the everyday. 

At the heart of the campaign is a hero film, "Young MacDonald Had No Farm", which reimagines the classic nursery rhyme through the lens of a modern city professional. Set to an energetic jazz rendition of Old MacDonald Had a Farm, the film, directed by Revolver’s Justin Kurzel, follows a woman navigating her morning routine in an inner-city apartment before driving off in her Honda ZR-V, culminating in the line: "You don't live on a farm, so why drive a tractor?"
