2019 – Honda Vezel RS – White

Description

Overview & Simple Summary

The 2019 Honda Vezel RS (Road Sailing) in white is a sporty, refreshed compact crossover SUV. As part of the post-facelift generation, it features updated front-end styling, improved interior materials, and enhanced cabin sound insulation over earlier model years, offering an appealing blend of high efficiency and aggressive design.

Engine & Driving Performance

Power is supplied by a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, available as a naturally aspirated petrol model or as Honda’s popular Sport Hybrid i-DCD variant:

• Hybrid i-DCD: Pairs the 1.5L engine with an electric motor to output approximately 150 horsepower, using a responsive 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) with steering-wheel paddle shifters.

• Pure Petrol: Produces 129 horsepower delivered through a smooth Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

• RS Suspension Tuning: The RS package includes exclusive performance dampers and suspension tuning, reducing body roll and providing sharper, more stable cornering response than non-RS trims.

RS Exterior Styling in White

The white exterior paint gives the Vezel a clean contrast against its dark, sporty RS accents:

• Facelifted Front End: Updated for 2019 with a bolder chrome front grille bar and full-LED “Jewel Eye” headlight clusters with integrated LED daytime running lights.

• RS Aero Trim: Piano-black lower body cladding, dark chrome grille highlights, gloss-black side skirts, exclusive 18-inch two-tone alloy wheels, and a subtle rear roof spoiler.

Interior Comfort & Technology

• Cabin Design: Driver-focused layout featuring sports bucket seats with suede and half-leather upholstery accented by contrast stitching.

• Driver Interface: Leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, alloy pedals, push-button start, and automatic climate control.

• Practicality: Features Honda’s signature “Magic Seats” in the rear, which flip up vertically or fold completely flat to expand the generous 435-liter trunk capacity.

• Infotainment: Central touchscreen with Bluetooth, reverse camera, and updated smartphone integration on compatible head units.

Safety & Fuel Efficiency

• Honda Sensing: Most 2019 imports come standard with the Honda Sensing driver-assist suite, offering adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning, and road departure mitigation.

• Fuel Consumption: The Hybrid variant achieves an impressive 20 to 24 km/L (approx. 4.2–5.0 L/100 km), while petrol-only versions return roughly 15 to 17 km/L.
