In addition to fuel costs, car life requires various maintenance costs such as taxes and maintenance costs. If you want to keep maintenance costs as low as possible, choosing a fuel-efficient car is one way to do it. For that reason, it is important to check the catalog fuel consumption and actual fuel consumption firmly when choosing a car.
Here, we will introduce the fuel efficiency performance of Honda “Vezel” in detail.

| Drive system | Catalog fuel efficiency (km/L) | Actual fuel consumption (km/L) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| petrol car | 2WD | 17.0 | 18.1 |
| 4WD | 15.6 | — | |
| e:HEV | 2WD | 24.8-25.0 | 21.3 |
| 4WD | 22.0 | 16.5 |
✔ Vezel’s fuel efficiency lags behind that of its rival, the Toyota Yaris Cross, but surpasses Nissan’s Kicks
✔ Vezel achieves high operability and driving stability
Vezel’s fuel efficiency characteristics
The current second-generation Vezel, which appeared in April 2021, is characterized by the setting of Honda’s unique next-generation two-motor hybrid system “e: HEV” . The e:HEV system uses the motor and the engine differently depending on the driving environment. Most of the time, the vehicle runs on the motor, and on highways, it uses the more efficient engine. Not only is it excellent in fuel efficiency, but it is also attractive that you can enjoy driving like an EV when driving with a motor.
It should also be noted that the driver can select from three drive modes: “NORMAL”, “SPORT” and “ECON” .
The petrol model is equipped with a newly developed 1.5L in-line 4-cylinder i-VTEC engine that achieves improved quietness and higher output.
Vezel’s Catalog Fuel Efficiency
Vezel’s WLTC mode catalog fuel efficiency is as follows.
| grade | Drive system | Fuel consumption (km/L) |
|---|---|---|
| G. | 2WD | 17.0 |
| 4WD | 15.6 | |
| e: HEV X | 2WD | 25.0 |
| 4WD | 22.0 | |
| e: HEV Z | 2WD | 24.8 |
| 4WD | 22.0 | |
| e: HEV PLaY | 2WD | 24.8 |
Vezel’s actual fuel consumption
According to the site ” e fuel consumption “, which collects the actual fuel consumption data of owners riding Vezel, the actual fuel consumption of Vezel (as of September 23, 2021) is as follows.
| grade | Drive system | Fuel consumption (km/L) |
|---|---|---|
| G. | 2WD | 18.1 |
| 4WD | — | |
| e:HEVX/ e:HEVZ | 2WD | 21.3 |
| 4WD | 16.5 | |
| e: HEV PLaY | 2WD | 21.3 |
The WLTC mode is an internationally used fuel consumption measurement method, and is said to produce values closer to actual fuel consumption than the JC08 mode that has been used in Japan. Even so, it is normal that there is a difference of about 10 to 1.5% between the catalog fuel consumption and the actual fuel consumption. Considering that point, the difference between the catalog fuel efficiency and the actual fuel efficiency of the bezel is wider than the average value for the e:HEV4WD vehicle, but it can be said that it is about average for the e:HEV2WD vehicle.
In addition, in petrol 2WD vehicles, the actual fuel consumption exceeds the catalog fuel consumption.

The current model’s bezel has been pursued to strengthen the body, increase the rigidity of the steering system, and reduce friction in each part of the suspension, achieving high maneuverability and driving stability that make driving fun in any situation.
Don’t forget to check fuel efficiency
Car leasing allows you to include most maintenance costs in your monthly fee, but you must prepare for fuel costs separately. Therefore, in order to grasp the guideline of maintenance cost, be sure to check the fuel efficiency before choosing a car.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How much is Vezel’s catalog fuel economy?
A: The current Vezel has two types of powertrains: the newly developed 1.5L in-line 4-cylinder i-VTEC engine and Honda’s unique hybrid system “e:HEV”, which uses the motor and engine depending on the driving environment. . WLTC mode catalog fuel efficiency is 17.0km/L for gasoline 2WD vehicles, 15.6km/L for 4WD vehicles, 24.8-25.0km/L for e:HEV2WD vehicles, and 22.0km/L for 4WD vehicles.
Q2: What is the actual fuel consumption of Vezel?
A: Vezel’s actual fuel consumption is 18.1km/L for gasoline 2WD vehicles, 21.3km/L for e: HEV 2WD vehicles, and 16.5km/L for 4WD vehicles. Considering that there is generally a difference of about 10 to 1.5% between catalog fuel consumption and actual fuel consumption in WLTC mode, the difference is larger than the average value for e:HEV4WD vehicles, but e:HEV2WD I’d say average for a car. In addition, the actual fuel efficiency of the gasoline 2WD vehicle exceeds the catalog fuel efficiency.
Q3: How does the Bezel’s catalog fuel efficiency compare to rival vehicles?
A: Vezel’s rival cars include Toyota “Yari Cross” and Nissan “Kicks”. Vezel’s fuel efficiency is behind Yaris Cross for both gasoline and hybrid vehicles, but Kicks’ fuel efficiency is higher.
