The 2024 Honda Vezel E:HEV Z is a mid‑high grade of the latest Vezel hybrid SUV, combining Honda’s e:HEV full‑hybrid system with a well‑equipped, comfortable interior and advanced safety tech, but without the lifestyle sunroof and two‑tone extras of the Z Play.
Engine and performance
-
Uses a 1.5L inline‑4 petrol engine (LEC series) with Honda e:HEV dual‑motor hybrid system, producing about 131 hp (96 kW) and 253 Nm of motor torque via an e‑CVT.
-
Very efficient: WLTP combined fuel consumption is around 4.0–4.1 L/100 km (about 24–25 km/l), giving low running costs for both Colombo city traffic and long‑distance trips.
Exterior and dimensions
-
Compact crossover body, roughly 4,330 mm long, 1,790 mm wide and 1,590 mm high, with LED headlamps, LED DRLs and LED rear combination lamps as standard on Z grade.
-
Typically comes with alloy wheels, body‑colour mirrors and door handles, rear spoiler and optional front/rear under‑garnishes that give a clean, elegant SUV appearance.
Interior and comfort
-
Five‑seat cabin with good rear legroom and fold‑flat rear seats for expanded luggage capacity, suitable for family use.
-
Z grade usually gets dual‑zone automatic climate control, quality fabric or part‑leather seats (spec varies by market), leather steering wheel and good sound insulation for a refined ride.
Technology and convenience
-
Features a central infotainment display (size and brand depend on region/importer) with Bluetooth and, on many units, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
-
Smart key with push‑start, electronic parking brake with auto‑hold, steering‑mounted controls, multi‑information display and drive‑mode selection (Normal/Sport/Econ) are commonly fitted.
Safety and driver assistance
-
Equipped with Honda Sensing: collision mitigation braking, lane keep assist, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control and auto high‑beam assist.
-
Multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, vehicle stability assist, hill‑start assist, and a rear camera (often with parking sensors) are standard or very common on 2024 E:HEV Z units.
