Honda Vezel is the new talk, the fusion model which sports the functionality of a SUV, Coupe and mini van style. The car is also available in hybrid and gasoline models. The car was launched in Japan last Friday and the company states that it is most fuel efficient and best car for city as well as highway traffic.
Exteriors of this vehicle are attractive and noteworthy due to its unique styling, taking best of utility vehicle and coupe. In typical Honda-style, interiors of this car are stylish, comfortable and loaded with features.
The interior, created through a comprehensive effort to realize a high quality feeling for both the look and texture, creates a coupe-like personal space for the front seats. At the same time, Honda's original centre-tank layout enabled a large cargo space and minivan-like rear seats with ample elbowroom beyond what people can imagine from the elegant exterior form.
The Vezel Hybrid comes equipped with SPORT HYBRID i-DCD (Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive), which combines a 1.5-litre direct injection engine with a high-output motor for producing more power and ensuring an improved on-road performance. This fuel efficient vehicle will be able to offer a mileage of up to 27.0 kmpl, sources have claimed. One of the interesting facts about this vehicle is that it is the first hybrid model by Honda to see the implementation of the firm's original Real Time AWD for controlling torque distribution to front and rear wheels through an electronic mechanism.
What makes Vezel truly refined is the highend features like Electric Parking Brake and Automatic Brake Hold. Also the car is virtually sound proof as the company has taken into accounts the details specifically. Also Vezel is the first Honda model to sport Reactive Force Pedal feature.
It boasts of outstanding passive safety by the virtue of next generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body and Pedestrian Injury Mitigation Body. Honda's original G-Force Control Technology (G-CON), as implied by the ACE body, not only improves self-protection, but also mitigates the impact on other vehicles too in case of an inadvertent collision. This vehicle also comes loaded with enhanced safety features like City-Brake Active System.
The model is said to be launched in early 2014 at US market but the Europe customers will have to wait close to an year to get hands on this beauty. Although the launch in Indian market is still not clear as the company is still working on the fourth generation models of City, Mobilio and Jazz.
