The 2023 Honda Vezel E:HEV Z is a well‑equipped core grade of the Vezel hybrid SUV, offering a strong balance of fuel efficiency, comfort and safety without the lifestyle extras of the Z Play package.
Engine and performance
Powered by a 1.5L inline‑4 petrol engine with Honda’s e:HEV hybrid system and e‑CVT, producing about 129–131 hp (around 96 kW) and 253 Nm of motor torque for smooth, quiet acceleration.
Very efficient: WLTP combined fuel consumption is around 4.0–4.1 L/100 km (about 24–25 km/l), making it economical for daily commuting and long trips.
Exterior and design
Compact SUV body (approx. 4,330 mm long) with modern styling, LED headlights and LED rear combination lamps, plus alloy wheels as standard on the Z grade.
Sits slightly lower in visual drama than Z Play (no panoramic roof or two‑tone accents by default) but keeps a clean, premium crossover look that suits city and family use.
Interior and comfort
Five‑seat cabin with good legroom, flat floor feel at the rear and versatile rear seats for expanding luggage space.
Z grade usually includes automatic climate control, high‑quality fabric or part‑leather upholstery (depending on importer), leather‑wrapped steering wheel and decent sound insulation for a refined ride.
Technology and convenience
Equipped with a central infotainment screen (unit varies by import) with steering‑wheel controls, Bluetooth and often Apple CarPlay/Android Auto when fitted with upgraded head units.
Push‑start, smart key, multi‑information display, electronic parking brake with auto‑hold and drive‑mode selection are typically included on this grade.
Safety and driver assistance
Comes with Honda Sensing on 2023 models: collision mitigation braking, lane keeping/road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control and auto high‑beam for enhanced safety.
Multiple airbags, ABS with EBD, vehicle stability control and rear camera/parking sensors are normally standard or commonly fitted on Z‑grade imports.
