2 Answers
There are differences between the Vezel and XR-V, as follows: 1. Different brands: The Vezel belongs to GAC Honda; the XR-V belongs to Dongfeng Honda; 2. Different body dimensions: The Vezel has a length of 4328mm, width of 1772mm, and height of 1605mm; the XR-V has a length of 4328mm, width of 1772mm, and height of 1610mm; 3. Different curb weights: The Vezel has a curb weight of 1227kg; the XR-V has a curb weight of 1225kg. The similarities between the Vezel and XR-V are as follows: 1. Both have a wheelbase of 2610mm; 2. Both have a fuel tank capacity of 50l; 3. Both the Vezel and XR-V have MacPherson independent front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension; 4. Both are equipped with a 1.5l naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 131ps, maximum torque of 155nm, maximum power of 96kw, and both are paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I frequently test drive various car models and have found that the Vezel and XR-V are essentially the Chinese versions of the Honda HR-V, sharing core components such as the 1.5-liter engine and chassis system, so the driving feel is very similar: quick off the line, fuel-efficient, and agile in urban conditions. However, there are some minor differences between them. For example, the Vezel's front grille design is more dynamic with sharper lines, while the XR-V leans towards a rounder, more conservative look. Space and practicality are almost identical, with a large trunk and foldable rear seats, making them suitable for family trips. Overall, the differences are minimal, so when choosing, it comes down to aesthetic preference and local configurations. The prices are also close, with higher-end versions offering more tech features, but this doesn't significantly impact the overall experience. Both are durable compact cars with low maintenance costs over five years.
