I most frequently work with Honda models, and the GAC Honda Vezel primarily features a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, typically from the L15B series. It is equipped with i-VTEC technology, which intelligently adjusts valve timing to enhance fuel efficiency while maintaining power output. During city driving, fuel consumption is kept around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, and it handles uphill driving without difficulty. Additionally, there is a 1.5-liter turbocharged option, delivering 150-180 horsepower, offering stronger acceleration with only a slight increase in fuel consumption. Honda engines are renowned for their durability, featuring simple designs that are easy to maintain—just replace spark plugs and filters on schedule, and you can drive for a decade with minimal issues. Environmentally, it meets the China VI emission standards, producing clean emissions with minimal environmental impact, making it ideal for owners who prioritize reliability.

Driving the Vezel feels amazing. I personally experienced the 1.5L naturally aspirated model, which offers smooth starts and quick responses, making it easy to handle in city traffic jams. The power delivery is linear without any jerking, and overtaking just requires a light tap on the accelerator. The 1.5T turbo version is even more spirited, providing stable high-speed cruising with good noise control and minimal engine sound. Fuel consumption stays around 7L/100km, making it economical and practical. The Honda engine runs smoothly without any vibrations, paired with a CVT transmission that's as smooth as silk, ensuring a comfortable and worry-free drive. On long trips, my family mentioned the spacious interior and quiet engine, creating a well-balanced driving and riding experience. Plus, the long maintenance intervals and low costs—spark plugs only need replacing every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers—don’t compromise daily convenience.

As a family car choice, I chose the Vezel for its cost-saving engine. With a 1.5L naturally aspirated displacement, it consumes 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can run 500-600 kilometers. Honda's reliable quality and affordable maintenance mean minor services cost just a few hundred yuan. The engine is durable with minimal faults over a decade, providing ample power for stable family trips. Compared to other SUVs in the same class, the Vezel's engine is more efficient and energy-saving, being both fuel-efficient and practical. City driving with air conditioning doesn't affect its power, making it stress-free in both winter and summer. It also boasts a high resale value and sells well in the used car market.
