Honda will start selling the new Vezel SUV in Japan soon. The all-new Vezel SUV was revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show earlier this year. 
 
The Vezel is equipped with high-quality interiors with coupe-like personal space for the front seats and, thanks to the original centre-tank layout with a large cargo space good for three regular golf bags while using the rear seats, thanks to its 453-litre capacity.
 
It will be offered with a 1.5-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel motor option and a hybrid-variant of the Vezel SUV in Japan, the hybrid variant will be equipped with SPORT HYBRID i-DCD, Honda’s next-generation Hybrid System that combines a 1.5-litre direct injection engine with a high-output motor to deliver high power equivalent to that of the 2.0-litre engine. 
 
The Vezel will also get additional features such as an electronic parking brake, and automatic brake hold function. 
 
The new Honda Vezel SUV is due to be launched in Europe in 2015. The Vezel, originally planned to be introduced in India in 2015, is unlikely to make it here due to the weak rupee. Honda says bringing the Vezel to the Indian market would work out to be too expensive, and considering the fate of too highly priced models like the last-generation Jazz, the carmaker will be loathe to repeat the same mistake.
