Honda Vezel, is this name that sounds unfamiliar? Don’t worry, replace it into the domestic name is familiar, Bang Zhi should know? There is also a brother model XR-V.
Self-imported in China, in 2014, it has exceeded 800,000 units in China, and the top three before the small SUV market; brothers XR- V is also the leader in the segment.
There is no doubt that Bangxi / XR-V has been highly recognized by young consumers, and is a successful sample in the joint venture small SUV field.
Honda Vezel is the original model of British / XR-V in Japan. Recently, Honda officially issued a new generation of Vezel models. The new car appearance uses Honda’s latest family-style design style. And equip a variety of E: HEV hybrid systems based on the 1.5L engine.
If there is no accident, the new car will continue to introduce the domestic market with the identity of Bangxi / XR-V, and is sold by Guangqi Honda / Dongfeng Honda.
While it is still unclear whether the domestic version of the model will have major adjustments, let’s take a look at the Vezel of the JDM specification.
Simple design looks more mature
[
The new car is not small in the outer shape, which is no longer like a large amount of round lines using a large number of round lines. It can be seen in a relatively straight line, making the new car look more calm.
At the same time, there are two types of appearance in the new car, mainly different from the Chinese network and surrounding style, one horizontal strip style in the network, the other is a honeycomb network, with two Side elongated headlights look a lot.
It is estimated that the two appearances of the future of domestic version of the model will be reserved, produced by Guangben and Dongben, just satisfying the “one car and double” strategy.
The side contour exhibits a two-door sports car-top contour, and of course the new car has inherited the “hidden” back door handle installed near the C-column, and cooperate with the small back Large tilt angle C column shape, so that the side visual effect of the new car is very similar to the UR-V / crown.
According to the different models, the rim size of the new car is from 16 to 18 inches, and the plastic coating around the wheel arch is reminding us that this is still a station. SUV model.
In the end of the car, the taillights of the new car use the most popular penetration structure, which is similar to the UR-V model, and the thick penetration lamp belt is in the left and right sides of the grid. The red bending light strip, and the entire taillights are also grayish shape when it is extinguished, and it can be said that the fashion is complete.
The blue embellishment of Honda logo and the “E: HEV” logo on the rear baffle indicates that there is a hybrid assembly under the hood.
The new car has a substantial adjustment compared to the cash type, and the improvement in the texture is obvious, and the shape is also very simple. The dashboard uses a double-circular instrument with a mechanical pointer, there is a color driving computer screen in the middle.
The 9-inch liquid crystal central control screen has a new generation of Honda Connect systems, supporting Apple Carplay and Android Auto interconnect features and smart keys, map navigation and other functions. 
The suspended medium control screen consists of a dual-screen system, which is very similar to the new Accord and a new idea.
However, the central control plane uses the overall T-shaped rule layout, and there is no significant way to deflect from the driving side as the cash, and the experience may be lacking. 
In addition, the design of the air outlet is another highlight of the interior. The new car not only has a large-area fake penetry, but also has additional independence next to the door on both sides. The hair dryer mode adjusts the knob, the official call is “breeze outlet”, through the knob adjustment, can create a comfortable breeze in the car.
Double-pane Panoramic Glass Vehicle Against The cabin feels more spacious, but it seems that it does not seem to open.
According to official information, the new car improves the ride comfort of the back row in the premise of change the body size, and increases the ride of the back row. Space, in addition, the new car is also equipped with Honda’s magic seat.
a fuel, three mixed
In the power system, Vezel provides four models, respectively, 1.5L fuel version, respectively. And three mixed plates.
Among them, the fuel version is mounted with a naturallytic engine, the transmission system matches the CVT transmission, providing a pre-drive and four-wheel drive form. 
Mixed system is equipped with a 1.5L Atkinson engine + dual motor E: HEV hybrid system. It is divided into E: HEV X, E: HEV Z and E, HEV Play; where E: HEV X and E: HEV Z provide pre-drive and four-wheel drive form, the four-wheel drive type is driven together with the front and rear dual motors and engines.
Of course, in the domestic market, whether the version Vezel will launch a question mark, after all, in the introduction of the fourth-generation Fit, I will give up the mixed version of the model.
E: HEV hybrid system If you can load larger-scale equipment on Bangbin / XR-V, Honda Mixing Vehicle will have a great degree to turn to Toyota in low-end market. Car choice.
After all, today’s Japanese brand technology development trend is mainly based on hybrid, and Honda can be on low-end mixed cars with virtue and small displacement. Upset explosion price competition, if the efficiency dimension combats competition, the market performance is still very worthwhile.
will still rule small SUV market

According to the current officially given news, Honda will sell a new generation of Vezel in Japan in April this year, and planned this year. Later, in the world, it is placed globally.
In the face of the Chinese market, the urban share of small SUV markets is constantly narrowing due to the self-compact SUV model and joint pressure of joint venture A-class sedan products. Even so, Dongfeng Honda XR-V and Guangqi Honda is still a place in the market, and it has made important sales contributions to Dongfeng Honda and Guangqi Honda.
Data show that the whole year of 2020, Dongfeng Honda XR-V accumulated sales reached 162,454 units, an increase of 12% year-on-year; Guangqi Honda’s accumulated sales reached 15,2918, a year-on-year increase of 31.7% . In 2021, these two models continued to maintain a strong growth situation.

Current Guangqi Honda
Therefore, these two models have a strategic significance in the Chinese market, believe that Dongfeng Honda and Guangqi Honda will take the fastest time. Synchronize XR-V and Btroductive Model.
We can see that the new generation of Honda Vezel is more calm in appearance, and the interior quality and space upgrade are obviously more pleased.
Let the small SUV meet more demand, this new generation of Honda Vezel has been done, I will continue to sell after entering the domestic market, only I hope that the mixed version should not be cut off because of cost control.
