Shining Bright: Wheels, Lights & Exterior Finesse
The 2025 Honda Vezel receives a bolder and more upscale appearance, thanks to a newly sculpted exterior. Its full LED headlamps with sequential turn signals give it an upscale presence, especially during nighttime drives in the city. The rear end features sleek LED tail lamps connected by a light strip, delivering a premium, cohesive look.
Its 17-inch dual-tone alloy wheels come standard on higher variants, adding sporty flair without compromising ride comfort. And the introduction of new aero-style bumpers and matte chrome accents enhances both aerodynamic efficiency and road presence.
Colours like Platinum White Pearl, Urban Gray, Midnight Blue Beam, and Ignite Red Metallic make it a head-turner no matter the location.
Hybrid Heart – Engineered for Efficient City Cruising
Under the hood, the 2025 Vezel features Honda’s e:HEV hybrid powertrain, engineered to deliver smooth, responsive performance while being exceptionally fuel-efficient. The setup combines a 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine with two electric motors—one for propulsion and one as a generator.
This hybrid system delivers:
- Combined power output: Approx. 131 PS
- Electric motor torque: 253 Nm (available instantly)
- Transmission: E-CVT (smooth and gearless)
What makes it stand out is the intelligent drive mode switching between EV, Hybrid, and Engine modes, adapting seamlessly to driving conditions. It’s ideal for navigating Malaysia’s start-stop city traffic while also being capable on highways.
A Cabin Designed for the City Lifestyle
Step inside the new Vezel and you’re greeted with a minimalist yet premium cabin layout. Honda has focused on delivering greater visibility, clean lines, and a horizontal dash layout that creates a feeling of space and calm.
Key highlights include:
- Soft-touch surfaces across the dashboard and door panels
- Ultrasuede-trimmed seats for a plush and contemporary finish
- Panoramic glass roof that brightens up the interior
- Air diffusion vents that spread airflow gently around the cabin for a more natural breeze
Passenger comfort is further boosted with ample legroom at the rear and generous cargo space—ideal for grocery runs, gym bags, or weekend getaways.
What’s New in 2025 – The Latest Vezel Upgrades
This isn’t just a minor refresh. The 2025 Honda Vezel introduces several substantial upgrades over its predecessor:
- New-gen e:HEV system for enhanced efficiency and smoother transitions
- Improved NVH insulation, reducing road and wind noise significantly
- Updated infotainment UI with faster response times and smarter navigation
- Honda Sensing 360 (in top variant) for broader and more intuitive safety coverage
- Redesigned dashboard and HVAC layout for ergonomic functionality
These improvements signal Honda’s commitment to making the Vezel more refined, safer, and enjoyable for every drive.
Drive Farther for Less – Mileage & Fuel Efficiency
One of the biggest selling points of the Vezel is its impressive fuel economy, especially critical for Malaysian drivers facing rising fuel prices.
With its hybrid drivetrain, the 2025 Vezel boasts:
- Fuel consumption: Approx. 22–24 km/l (real-world conditions)
- EV mode range: Up to 2-3 km in low-speed, short-distance scenarios
- CO₂ emissions: Significantly reduced, meeting Euro 6d standards
This makes it one of the most fuel-efficient compact SUVs in Malaysia, perfect for daily commutes or long weekend trips with minimal fuel stops.
Launch Timeline – When Will It Arrive in Malaysia?
Honda Malaysia is expected to launch the 2025 Vezel in the second half of 2025, likely by Q3, following its global debut in Japan and other markets.
Local preview units have already been spotted undergoing evaluation, and insider sources hint at a mid-year unveiling, possibly alongside the next-gen HR-V facelift. Expect bookings to open soon after its public showcase, with deliveries beginning within the same quarter.
Variants and Price – What to Expect
While official pricing hasn’t been announced yet, we can estimate the expected Malaysian prices based on previous Vezel/HR-V trends and current currency rates.
- Vezel e:HEV Lite – From RM135,000 (est.)
- Vezel e:HEV Premium – From RM145,000 (est.)
- Vezel e:HEV RS – From RM155,000 (est.)
These prices would place the Vezel slightly above the HR-V but still competitive among premium compact hybrids, offering more tech and refinement per ringgit.
