Review
It is really no surprise, seeing the sheer number of them on the road. Swoopy styling and yet practical interior with one of the best class A engines and huge boot. Not many come close. The pi version has a more powerful engine and with Honda build quality, warranty isn't really an issue. Offers more plush ride as compared with fit/jass despite similar chassis foundations. Other than transmission whine and delay, all else is as much as one can get from practical motoring with some pizzazz in Sg.
What I like
Looks - those headlights.
Frugality - A little over half tank to KL.
Huge boot - compared with CHR/CX3
Affordable
What I do not like
Ride can be crashy of broken surfaces.
Transmission slow to react but at times lungy.. esp in first gear.
My frist SUV i love it | Posted on 14 Nov 2018 |

Power wise i would recommend you go tune the car after your warranty over. Tuning cannot be checked. So its safe to tune the car. It makes the car more responsive and more power hence you can save on petrol heavy footer may get about 13.5-14 km per litres.
Adding strut bars to stabilize the car for corning is a good to have but not necessary unless u are always making a corner at 120km/hr.
adding suspension to lower the car well its a personal preference. Some butts are more sensitive to other butts. For me it is comfortable enough. But eventually when the suspension spoils ( wear & Tear ) of course i will upgrade it to a Tein flex hehehe...
I love this car. Big Boot. Lots of accessories, added a roof rack for my bicycles and it looks awesome.
I sound proof the doors and the roof. I would recommend the roof first if you have only 1 option.
What I like
Stylish looks of the exterior
What I do not like
aircon panel on passenger side. the long panel. dont just quite look nice.. but thats just me.

Went to Car House at Turf City to look for a Toyota Axio back in mid 2015. Despite not having a test drive, we were impressed by the functionality of the car. We were hesitant to spend more than the cost of the Axio, but when my wife agreed to spend a little more on the Honda Vezel, I jumped on it.
Fast forward to delivery of the car in Nov 2015 after what felt like an eternity... Wow! Wow! Wow! We realised it had some small frills as compared to the very basic Mit GLX that we had before.
After driving into 2016, we started to see so many vezels on the roads in SG. I guess people here are really into value for money + style.
Super satisfied with this purchase!
What I like
Cat A COE (just below the power limit)
Super good fuel efficiency on ECO mode
Sufficient power when you need it
Quiet Enough Cabin
Style
Large boot space
Honda Earth Dreams Engine from Japan.
What I do not like
Slightly stiff suspension at the back
Not much else
Very good for A2B car

Compact Crossovers:
This great small crossover with exceptional specification and attractive features will definitely attract the attention of buyers. It is designed to be a small family car (Do not expect a 7 seater), transporting five passenger and be very comfortable.
What I like
Space
Value for Money
Features
Due to the number of vezels in Singapore, parts are fairly cheap and easily available
What I do not like
Get mistaken as Uber/Grabcar
Bumpy (Typical SUV)
Cannot corner as well as a sedan (Typical SUV)
Vezel only via PI
Review below based on a 15 minutes test drive and hours of research online and seeing it at PI shop, ended up with the Hybrid version | Posted on 22 Dec 2016 |

Comfort
For a BnB car, it is pretty average, suspension setup is abit hard, harder than my previous Subaru impreza which is quite stiff for daily usage. However insulation is pretty decent. Tried both petrol and hybrid, the latter is quieter. Size wise is pretty good for this segment, 3 adults are able to sit at the back comfortably with ample legroom and headroom, no center hump too.
Exterior styling
Looks great! Handsome front and back ends. Coupe style silhouette with hidden back door handles. Bright and functional LED headlights and LED backlights (hybrid).
Interior design
Looks great too! Front passengers are cocooned inside a comfortable space within the car, partly due to the high center console, allowing you to place your barangs barangs there. Lots of storage areas.
Features
Honda Sensing is a must! Adaptive cruise control, lane departure assistance and automatic braking to avoid collision. You can totally set your car on cruise control and your car will automatically keep its speed and distance with the front car. It will also keep you inside your own lane and brake for you when needed. There is brake hold too, useful for traffic jams where the car presses the brake for you when you stop, so that you can relax your right feet. Lots of airbags (8 for petrol and 6 for hybrid). There is also sports mode and econ mode to suit different driving styles.
Performance
Reason why I choose hybrid over petrol after testing both for 15 minutes each. Petrol has ample of performance for a basic BnB car but the hybrid has 150+ bhp, similar to a 2.0l engine. Pickup for petrol and hybrid is around 11 seconds and 8.5 seconds respectively.
What I like
Exterior and interior styling
Safety (airbags)
Honda Sensing
Lots of tech gizmo
What I do not like
Ride comfort
PARF at $5000 at the end of 10 years

This is probably the most value for money car in the market right now. For the price of a mid sedan you get plenty of features, such as GPS, reverse camera, cruise control, brake hold, auto brake, economy mode, sports mode etc. In terms of cost of driving it's very attractive too, the car is very fuel efficient but yet powerful. Road tax is low because of the small engine. But you get the joy of driving a spacious car that's almost like an SUV.
I only gave 4 for reliability because of the short battery lifespan when it first came. As for handling, it's quite annoying to have to switch off the auto brake system and auto engine shut down when you step on the brakes every single time you start the car. The GPS may also go crazy sometimes in bad weather, but most of the time reliable.
What I like
- Nice exterior
- Plenty of headroom
- Built in GPS
- Reverse camera
- Cruise control
- Low fuel consumption
- Powerful engine
- Low road tax
- Auto shut down of engine at red lights to save fuel (some people may not like it, anyway can switch off if you don't like)
- Brake hold. Car never slides backwards in ramps.
What I do not like
- Small boot space
- Need to switch off auto brake everytime when starting engine or else it will give you a violent and annoying sudden break of the car when passing through carpark barrier.
- GPS sometimes go crazy in bad weather

Review
Just collected my Vezel for about 1 week and here is my immediate feedbadk
Compared to my previous basic Japanese sedan, this Vezel is such an upgrade in terms of features and conveniences. I no longer have the urge to travel from point to point in a rush, as if to get out of the car asap. The drive is leisurely done and the enjoyment in driving is once again rekindled.
I was considering the Sienta before this. I am glad I have made the right choice. Compared to Sienta, the specifications of the Vezel is much higher esp the engine and also the features. Buying accessories for the car is also so much a breeze. Just ask Caurosell.
All in all, no regrets. I finally understand why there are so many Vezels on the road. For this range of cars of this pricing, I doubt any other car can give it a run for the money....
What I like
Seat
- High and commanding view
- Plenty of space for driver and all passengers
High FC
1st tank is about 14-15 Km/l. 60% City / 40% Highway
Convenience Features
- door auto lock activates automatically 1 minute after driving off
- auto fold mirrors

Just got my Vezel. Enjoying the ride, easy and very comfortable. Spacious in the boot, plenty of headroom and arm room for 2 front seats. Good looking on the outside and inside for this price range. The features of CBTA, Brake hold , cruise control makes driving a breeze.
Added good experience with purchase as I got a good PI, made it a short and smooth process.
What I like
-Great exterior and interior look
-Spacious boot with knock down rear seats
-Spacious interior with plenty of leg space for rear passengers
-Added features of CBTA, Brake hold , cruise control makes driving a breeze.
-Reverse sensor which show alignment lines makes parking easy peasy
What I do not like
-Poor sound insulation
-Relatively bumpy
-Compartment space is lesser than that my old car eg, card or coins compartment , side door compartment can be more spacious to accommodate car park coupons, small hidden hook at back of seat to hook jacket or things.

Just received this car on the 29th Jul 2016. Smooth and fuel efficient ride. Cruising on the expressway is fast and smooth. If you like power, feel free to try out the non eco mode.
What I like
Exterior design, interior design. Easy to decorate and poison haha.
What I do not like
Slightly bigger car than typical saloon cars. You need a bit of time to get used to the new car's handling.

Review
Good handling, well designed , powerful car despite its big body size . Up market exterior & spacious interior and also adequate booth space.
For the CAT A catalog , its is a powerful car at 155NM / 96KW/ 129bhp and still good fuel efficiency.
What I like
City brake assist system ( Safety feature to prevent collision at low speed).
Powerful Engine.
Good Fuel efficiency.
Huge side mirrors ( provide good clear vision when filtering lane).
Many Airbags.
What I do not like
No All wheel drive option.
16" Rim standard . Should give at least 17" Rim as standard.
Front passenger seat cannot be adjusted higher ,only driver's side could.
Car should be higher, current its 1605mm Ht , better if it is at least 1615 Ht for better head room space , height and more ground clearance.
Overall its is a good car.

Tight space interior.
Uncomfortable rear seats.
Small boot space.
Cheap looking trip meter and controls with no navigation menu.
Aircon not cold.
Hidden console underneath gear knob.
Glove box not lighted.
No rear aircon.
Auto window only for driver side.
Loud engine noise
Low engine power.

Review
In Sg this vehicle just makes a lot of sense.
Space in the car and boot, with the magic seats, powerful engine and low maintenance. Think this is still the default choice.. Explains all the grabs on the road. Though a change to softer suspension or additional dampeneners would be useful.
Economical. Larger than fit and plusher.. Think it is really just the default choice in sg right now. Especially if you are looking for something that is good looking but not outlandish like a CHR.
What I like
Plush interior, Quiet (compared w fit)
spacious
large boot
a lot of mods.
easy to maintain
What I do not like
hard ride.
