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.
