Honda Vesel "What is it, isn't it?" E: HEV FF and 4WD, Gasoline model G on public roads

When you look at the real thing, it becomes "What is it, isn't it?"

"What is it, isn't it?"When the world was made in February and saw a new figure on the display, as if it was noisy in the SNS area at the time, it was a immersive look, as if the existing domestic SUV was added.I felt."Honda, what's wrong?"

It seems that only the author has changed the impression of seeing the real thing, and after the release on April 23, the number of positive voices has increased since the real thing has been lined up at the store.The designer in charge analyzes the reasons for the initial negative impression of the new Vezel as follows.

"One of the reasons has changed the image significantly from the predecessor. (The new model) is a graphic that I have never seen, so I think it was hard to imagine what the shape was in three dimensions.If you look at the car, you can understand, "Is this a form?", And then, many people can say, "It's surprisingly familiar."

Honda Vesel E: HEV Z (FF)

The fact that the design method is different between the predecessor and the new model seems to have acted in a negative direction.The predecessor, Vezel, was able to roughly understand what the character line was clear and that he wanted to express it in two dimensions, as many of the Honda cars at the time.The new Vezel shows the direction of Honda's new design, and only after confirming the three -dimensional (three -dimensional), it can capture the intention of the design."(New Vesel) has a clean and simple design. However, it is simply a simpler, so it controls the aspects that allow you to feel various expressions for each scene. For an aggressive design.Then, the presence increases, but there is a good car in the scene of life. The car floats. I want to be a partner that makes you feel more familiar in your life, not in that direction.I designed it with my thoughts. "

The real thing is elegant and high quality rather than two dimensions.It is also stylish.It looks big in the picture, and the real thing has a presence, but it is actually the same as the predecessor, and the overall length of 4330mm has not changed.If the vehicle size is classified, the bezel belongs to the B segment.But the real thing looks like a one -class car.That impression does not change even if you get in.

I was surprised when I got in the rear seat.It is outstandingly wide, and the margin around your feet and knees is impressive.The new Vezel has two USB sockets for the front crew, but there are also two rear seats.The seat back has a pocket for putting a smartphone connected to the cable.There is an air -conditioning outlet, and there is an armrest with a cup holder.Not only can you afford space, but it's easy to use.

The rear seat of the predecessor Vezel had two reclining mechanisms.The angle is 25 degrees and 27 degrees.After a user survey, it was found that many users would not move once the angle was determined.Therefore, the new Vezel stopped reclining in two steps and fixed at 27 degrees.If you put the seat back lying down, the luggage spaces will be sacrificed, but "I took care of what I wanted to put on."The sitting position of the rear seat is shifted behind the predecessor 30mm, creating a room around the knee.The reason why it was reduced by 18 mm was to secure head clearance according to the lower total height.

With the desire to create a space where you can spend a long time even if you ride for a long time, the packaging in the front seat has changed in the new Vesel.SUVs are often sitting upright, but in the new Vezel, they are like a passenger car.When I actually sat down, I was impressed by the goodness of the seat.Because the holding around the waist is firm, the axis of the body is hard to shake.So the shoulders and arms move freely.(I can't affirm because I haven't been driving for a long time), and it's hard to get tired and I can spend a relaxing time.

What I was worried about was the view.It is very good that the standing A pillar is in front and the left and right visibility is high.It is also a good impression that the wiper does not disturb the visibility.On the other hand, the sun visor who has entered the field of view feels annoying.It seems that it is not a problem for the author who has a higher seat height, and when asking for opinions.The development engineer replied, "There is a will."

"Play equipped with a glass roof that can express the concept of the new bezel is the best. If you don't feel the sky even if you have a glass roof, it's not worth it.The viewing angle is about 50 degrees (up and down). I brought a glass roof in the area where the sky can be seen in the range of 50 degrees. "

The roof grew forward to get the sky in the glass roof, and as a result, it began to interfere with the view (although there are individual differences in how you feel).If you don't like it, it's irrelevant to the owner of the Close Droof.I didn't feel any inconvenience in driving, such as the fact that the signal was difficult to see at the intersection (of course, considering the design).

The real new Vesel is elegant and high -quality, and it feels like a one -class, but that can be said about riding.The movement of the car to operate the steering (not too light and has a solid response) is calm.That doesn't mean that the movement is slow.It reacts as imagined and moves.It is a car that makes you feel comfortable to manipulate the car.Then, it is not the character that shakes on the run, and even if it is a rough road surface, a swell, or a protrusion, the crew does not feel anxious or discomfort.The rear seat was not only spatial comfort, but also the comfort of the ride.

AWD model, non -E: HEV gasoline model?

Honda Vesel E: HEV Z (4WD)

The AWD is a mechanism that distributes the power of the front engine or hybrid system and transmits mechanically to the rear through propeller shafts.In order to convey the torque to the rear wheels from the time of start, comparing it to the 2WD (FF) specification, you can feel the sense of security only after starting, and even on the rear wheel, the driving force is transmitted to the road surface.The balance and security are different if you balance with one foot alone on a large shaking train.2WD and AWD have such a decisive difference.

G（1.5ℓ直4DOHC＋CVT）

The light feeling of gasoline engine specifications is also attractive (E: HEV = 100-150 kg lighter for hybrid), but E: HEV is more embodied (a variety of variations).In fact, if the ratio of two months after prior order (approximately 29,500 units) is sorted out, E: HEV accounts for 93 %.Overwhelming support.The hybrid system is basically the same as the fit that has been changed to a new model in 2020, and has increased the output and battery capacity of the driving motor mainly in response to the weight increase.

If you turn it over, it is not added to the plus alpha, so it is equivalent to a fit hybrid if it is limited to power.It is not necessary enough.It's just barely don't have to feel "I wish I had a little more power."In a scene that does not require great power, for example, in a situation where it runs constantly in a low car speed range in the city, there are many situations that run the motor with the electric energy stored in the battery without starting the engine.It is high quality.

When the battery level is reduced or demands great power, the engine starts to operate the power generation motor, and the power from the battery is combined to meet the request.It is an explanation that the fluctuation in the state of the engine without the engine is "suppressed", but it is disappointing when the engine starts compared to the latest domestic hybrid vehicles, and I want you to reduce the presence a little more.I felt.However, that is not enough to ruin all the charms of the new bezel.At the level of greed, the new Vesel is so good that you want to say greed.
