It also offers a lot of space inside, and you might even mistake it for a minivan, although it is a subcompact car.

This model is one of the most fuel-efficient cars on our roads, giving you around 20kms with a liter of fuel. You don’t get this from many SUVs.

It even has an Eco Mode on the speedometer to help you save more fuel. And that also makes the vehicle-friendly to the environment.

The 2019 facelifted model is sleeker and sporty and intimidates other vehicles on the road when driving it, especially in the sports mode.

The model faces competition though mainly from Subaru XV and Nissan Qashqai in the sub-compact SUV category.

XV offers you a higher engine capacity and slightly more stylish interior, but it is a bit expensive to buy when compared to Vezel.

XV boot space may also disappoint you. It has about 310-345 liters of room for its various brands. This is way below its competitors of over 450 liters.

Qashqai offers almost similar features to Honda HRV, and their pricing is identical. The differences come mainly in boot space and efficiency.

While Qashqai comes with 430-liter boot space, HRV has 453-litre, holding additional luggage.

Qashqai is also beaten in fuel efficiency. With around 13 km/l for the Nissan model and 17-20 km/l for the Honda model.

Though you can get a used Honda Vezel for sale in Kenya by Owners, the best way is to get a clean car from abroad because of various factors.

These include false mileage, unrecognizable mechanical and electrical problems, amongst others.

You and I know that roads here are not friendly, primarily if the vehicle has been used out of town frequently. 

We cannot also compare our local servicing and the ones found in developed countries such as Japan.

These Honda Vezel for sale in Jiji Nairobi or any other local platform are also likely to carry higher prices than the imported ones. 

Local car dealers have to cover the cost of renting the yard, cleaning the vehicle, security, and others.

We are here because of you, and we will help you to get your dream Honda XRV. Just tell us what you need and leave everything else to us.

In addition to getting a reliable and clean car, importing with us will also save you up to 20% of the local showroom prices.

  • Engine Capacity: 1.5L
  • Acceleration: 0 to100km in 8.2 sec

Honda Vezel for Sale in Mombasa- Maximum Power

The standard model of this car is equipped with a 1.5L petrol engine giving out 130hp (horsepower) and 114 lb-ft (pounds-feet) of torque-energy of the engine.

You can buy the hybrid model for a more robust model that will give you 150hp and about 140 lb-ft on torque.

You can turn on the sport mode to change it to a race car. DCT will send the power to the front wheel immediately, and it turns into a powerful vehicle.

However, the sport mode will not use fuel efficiently. Otherwise, you will need the eco mode if you require saving on fuel.

Honda Vezel for Sale in Nairobi Kenya- AWD/FF

You will choose the one you will prefer here. Both All-Wheel Drive (AWD) and Front-Wheels Drive (FF) are available. 

You may decide to go for an AWD model if your driving conditions are expected to be challenging, mainly off-road.

AWD- means you will have an option of engaging either the front wheels alone, rear wheels alone, or all four wheels simultaneously.

Note when using the four wheels altogether, the fuel consumption is higher than when you decide to use either the front or back wheels alone.

You can also go for the FF model if you need your car to be fuel-efficient, and probably you expect it to drive in slippery conditions.

Honda Vezel for Sale in Kenya- Fuel Consumption

I believe fuel consumption is one of the essential factors you will consider when going for any car.

Honda has tried to keep fuel consumption low with this model. You can even change the rate of consumption by using the eco mode feature. 

Whether it is the standard model or the hybrid one, they will save something for you in fuel budget when you compare it with its rivals.

The standard model, which comes with a 1.5L direct-inject petrol engine, will consume 1 liter for around 15 to 20 km on different road conditions.

This is impressive considering a model like Toyota Probox will consume 1 liter for about 15 to 18 kms.

The hybrid version becomes even better with a 1.5L petrol-electric powered engine with a 7-speed DCT which will take you about 22km with a liter of fuel.

Honda Vezel Review in Kenya- Engine Capacity

The entry model of Honda HRV for sale in Kenya comes with a 1.5-liter or 1496cc i-VTEC petrol engine.

The Hybrid version is powered by a 1.5-liter 7-speed i-DCD hybrid petrol engine. The diesel variant is equipped with a 1.6-liter turbo engine.

Some other models come with a 1.5L petrol turbo engine and a 1.8L petrol engine. You have several choices in terms of the powertrain with this car.

Litre and cc (cubic centimeters) indicate the amount of mixture of fuel and air that the engine can displace.

Honda Vezel Interior Review

Honda Vezel for sale in Nairobi, Mombasa, and other major towns in Kenya does not disappoint when it comes to its interior.

Comfort and Legroom

The first thing you notice when you step inside this car is its spacious interior which you may not appreciate from the exterior view.

The front row space is excellent for both your head and legs. But in case you are tall, the driver seat comes with an adjuster to fit your comfort.

At the back, the headroom is also sufficient, and even tall passengers will sit comfortably. The flat floor will make your legs move freely and with ease.

Seats and Child Seat

There are two seats in the front row and three in the rear row. They are large and wide enough to accommodate five adults.

The magic seats- which can fold upwards or downward- are made of leather to maximize your comfort and avoid the annoying dirt.

These seats have latches to hold your child seat when driving your family on this vehicle. However, the passengers’ seats lack an armrest.

Boot Space

This model comes with 453 liters of boot space, decent space for this type of vehicle.

The best thing about it is you will even be able to increase the size of your boot to hold the cargo you wish.

The rear seatbacks can split with 60/40 to make the rear seat space almost flat or you can fold them upwards to hold tall items at the back.

In case of long items, you just require folding the rear left seat and front left seat, and you are ready to go with your cargo.

Extra Internal Features

Other features are an electronic parking brake, a touch screen control audio system, a USB port, and a touchscreen-controlled air conditioning system.

This car also comes loaded with ISRS airbags, curtain airbags, and a vehicle stability assist system for your safety when driving.

You will be welcomed by jewel-eye LED headlights incorporated into a honeycomb pattern grille to add an attitude and aggression from the front.
