The Honda Urban SUV concept was supposed to preview a Fit-based crossover that would be sold in global markets and even be produced in Honda’s new Mexican plant. Now, we have the production version, oddly named the Vezel.
The oddly named Vezel is Honda’s take on the Nissan Juke and other B-Segment crossovers. Like the Juke, the rear door handle is mounted on the C-pillar, but the two could not be more different. The Vezel is conservatively styled. Honda hasn’t released specs for the car, despite its on sale date approaching within the next few months. But it will use a 1.5L 4-cylinder engine, as well as a hybrid drivetrain, presumably shared with the Fit.

- 1995 SC Are there any mitigation systems that would have prevented this though? We had a ship hit a bridge in Jacksonville a few years back and it was basically dumb luck it didn't collapse. This looked like a direct hit.
- Cprescott Oh, well.

This class of vehicle would be so much more appealing if I were 5'7" and 140 lbs.
Dutch for "Fiber" That's all I can find. I wonder if the model with the leather interior is called the "Leder" Honda almost always uses English words, and usually with a "Society" theme: (Civic, Accord, Passport) or "inspirational" theme (Prelude, Pilot, Dream, Insight, Inspire, etc.), so this is somewhat... odd. A bit off topic, but I love Toyota's names. They are almost always related to royalty and crowns (Crown, Tercel, Corona, etc.), with the young Scion to the crown called... Scion!
