Honda has begun sales in Japan of its Vezel small SUV. The model is due to be launched in Europe in 2015, so details on specifications, engine options and naming of the model are still to be confirmed for the European market.
Honda says that the new model “brings together the dynamic qualities of an SUV, the elegance of a coupe and the functionality of a minivan, which combined will deliver excellent fuel economy”. A 4WD option will be available for both hybrid and petrol variants.

The hybrid variant will be equipped with Honda’s next generation hybrid system that combines a 1.5 litre direct injection engine with a high-output motor to deliver power that is claimed to be equivalent to that of the 2-litre engine.
