New Vezel delivery information
Currently, the delivery time for the Vezel is approximately two to three months . However, this is only a guideline and may vary depending on the grade, options, body color, and even the dealer and region. For example, if you select a popular grade or special body color, the delivery time tends to be longer.
The delivery time for the Vezel has been significantly shortened compared to before due to the easing of the impact of the semiconductor shortage. However, there is still a waiting period of several months, so if you are considering purchasing one, we recommend that you act early.

What is the key to shortening delivery times?
For those who want to get the Vezel as soon as possible, here are some tips to shorten the delivery time.
- Avoid popular grades and options : Popular grades and options tend to have longer delivery times because they are produced in limited numbers. If you want to prioritize delivery time, one way to avoid these options is to choose one that suits you.
- Look for in-stock or cancelled cars : Some dealerships may have in-stock or cancelled cars. These cars may have a much shorter delivery time, so be sure to actively search for them.
- Contact your retailer frequently : Production status and delivery times are constantly changing, so be sure to contact your retailer frequently to get the latest information.
What you can do while waiting for delivery
There are many things you can do while waiting for your Vezel to be delivered. For example,
- Choose your accessories and options : Take the time to choose your accessories and options so they’re ready to install as soon as your vehicle arrives.
- Plan your drive : Plan where you want to go in your Vezel and what kind of drive you want to enjoy.
- Get a quote for car insurance : Getting a quote for car insurance before you deliver your car can help make the delivery process go smoothly.
What kind of car is the Vezel?
- The “center tank layout” based on Honda’s unique M・M concept has been inherited from the previous model. The exterior has been completely rethought for a new era of VEZEL, with coupe-like proportions that add to the powerful, clean and energetic impression of an SUV.
- The overall impression of the interior is one of solid form with a strong core, and a sleek and long cabin is adopted to provide an exhilarating view from all seats.
- The hybrid model is equipped with Honda’s two-motor hybrid system, “e:HEV.”
In terms of the exterior, the headlights feature DRL (Daytime Running Lights) and LED sequential turn signals. Honda SENSING is standard on all models. The rear also features a sleek coupe shape.
Inside the car, a panoramic roof (with Low-E glass) is used for the open sunroof. It also comes with two-tone exterior colors, tricolor trim, and a hands-free access power tailgate (with reservation close function).

The interior panel has a horizontal and straight line design, and the layout of the controls has been optimized to reduce eye movement and make it easier to use based on the concept of HMI (Human Machine Interface). The “sleek and long cabin” provides a refreshing view from all seats, and a solid form with a solid “solid feeling” has been achieved. The meter uses the same “4.2 inch or 7.0 inch instrument cluster” as the new “Accord” and “Insight”.
The interior is also equipped with an “Auto Brake Hold” function, which keeps the vehicle stationary even if the driver takes his/her foot off the brake pedal while the vehicle is stopped, and is released when the driver steps on the accelerator, making it convenient for situations such as traffic jams. A “parking brake system” has also been adopted. In addition, the newly designed air conditioner outlet “Breeze Outlet” creates a gentle air flow by blowing air from an L-shaped outlet backward along the side window, caressing the cheeks of front seat passengers.
The center display is a 9-inch Honda CONNECT Honda Display, and is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It also comes equipped with a Honda CONNECT in-vehicle communication module, and offers Honda Total Care Premium. In addition, the advanced safety driving support system Honda SENSING now features a front wide-view camera, and the near-collision mitigation brake is now standard equipment on all vehicles. New functions have also been added, such as the False Rear Start Prevention Function, which detects obstacles behind the vehicle and alerts the driver, and Auto High Beam.
Honda SENSING has newly adopted a high-speed image processing chip in the “Front Wide View Camera” and combined it with a total of eight sonar sensors in the front and rear of the vehicle to add a “Short-distance Collision Mitigation Brake”. This is standard equipment on all vehicles. Four sensors are placed in the rear bumper, which detect obstacles behind the vehicle and notify the driver with sound and display.
In addition, the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) has evolved to include a traffic jam following function, and functions such as Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Road Departure Mitigation System, Traffic Sign Recognition System, and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) have also been improved from the previous model. In addition, three new functions have been added: Rear False Start Prevention System, Near-Collision Mitigation Braking System, and Auto High Beam.
