The exterior is 35mm longer, 20mm wider and 15mm lower than its predecessor, giving it a more relaxed style.
While further evolving the coupe-like styling with the rear pillars laid down, "the sleek and long cabin" was adopted to ensure clear visibility in all seats, and the design has a horizontal base with a single core running through the front and rear of the body.
The front design of the new VEZEL has evolved into a clean, high-class appearance by reducing the chrome plating on the thin headlights and the unique front grille that is the same color as the body.
In the interior, the "lump-like" form expresses the strength of an SUV, while the soft pads on the parts that come into contact with the body combine strength and tenderness.
The spacious space and utility of HONDA's original "center tank layout" follows that of its predecessor, VEZEL.
In the rear seats, the wheelbase is the same size, but the space around the feet and knees has been expanded by 35 mm by optimizing the seat mounting members.
In addition, the "breeze outlets" located on the left and right sides of the front of the new VEZEL create a wind film that wraps around the occupants.
The new VEZEL hands-free access power tailgate can be easily opened and closed even with luggage. If you have a HONDA smart key, you can not only open the door but also close it hands-free.
There are two power units, a gasoline engine and a hybrid.
The gasoline engine is a 1.5-liter straight-four naturally aspirated engine, and the transmission is a CVT.
On the other hand, the hybrid is based on the 1.5-liter engine, which is the same as the predecessor VEZEL, but it has been renewed to the "e:HEV", which is a two-motor system like the FIT.
In addition, the battery capacity has been increased and the maximum output of the 1.5-liter engine and drive motor has been increased.
The safe driving support system "Honda Sensing" is standard equipment on all VEZEL.
Unlike its predecessor, VEZEL, which used a front monocular camera and millimeter-wave radar to measure various information, the new VEZEL has a wide-view camera with an anti-fog heater on the front and four sonar sensors on the front and rear bumpers. The image processing system has also become faster.
In addition to the evolution of Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep assist System due to the expansion of the recognition range and direction, it is now possible to use the rearward false start suppression function and short-range collision mitigation brake.
In the lineup of the new VEZEL, the gasoline engine model is only "G".
The hybrid model is all 3 grades.
"e:HEV X" with equipment equivalent to G. The "e:HEV Z" is equipped with 18-inch aluminum wheels and a genuine leather-wrapped steering wheel with a heater.
Furthermore, it is " e:HEV PLaY " equipped with Honda Connect display, panoramic roof, wireless charger for smartphones, etc.
Let's go for an early summer drive with the new VEZEL.
