On February 18, 2021, the new generation Vezel was officially launched in Japan. The new model features completely different exterior and interior designs and will be built on a new platform (the platform of the fourth-generation Fit). It is scheduled to officially hit the Japanese market in April, and is expected to be launched in China around the same time. Below is an introduction to the Vezel: 1. Exterior: The design of the new generation Vezel is closer to that of the Breeze. The front grille offers two styling options, and the headlights have become more slender, making the overall appearance more in line with Asian aesthetics. From the side view, the new Vezel adopts the currently popular Coupe-style design and is built on the new platform of the fourth-generation Fit. The rear features a full-width taillight design, which also bears a resemblance to the Breeze. 2. Interior: The new generation Vezel adopts an interior design similar to that of the Accord, with a large touchscreen display mounted on the dashboard and equipped with the latest HondaConnect system.

As a long-time Honda enthusiast who closely follows their models, I believe the release of the new Vezel depends on Honda's product renewal cycle. The last major update for the Vezel was in 2021, and typically Honda updates its SUVs every 4-5 years, so the next one might be around 2025 to 2026. However, keep an eye on market changes, such as the rise of electric vehicles, which could impact the plan. Currently, other compact SUVs in the market like the Toyota C-HR and Nissan Qashqai are rolling out new versions, so Honda might accelerate its schedule to stay competitive. If you're waiting for the new model, I recommend regularly checking official press conferences or automotive forums, where insider information often leaks, so you don’t miss out. Additionally, considering the trend toward environmental friendliness, the new model might include more hybrid options, which is something to look forward to.

Speaking from a young person's perspective, I follow various car blogs and communities, and noticed everyone's quite curious about when the new Vezel (HR-V) will launch. Looking at the 2021 generation, Honda typically rolls out new designs every few years, so 2024 or 2025 seems likely—but it might arrive sooner since competitors are moving fast. For instance, Mazda just released an electric CX-3, which could push Honda to act more aggressively. If you're buying now, compare the current model's value—decent features but no fresh highlights—versus waiting for the update (potentially better deals). Just don’t compromise daily needs. Keep an eye on auto shows or dealer promotions; sometimes they hint at upcoming releases early.

I often discuss buying SUVs with my friends. Regarding the new HR-V model, I personally think the timing is uncertain. Honda usually updates within a 4-year cycle, with the next update expected in 2025 after 2021, but it might be delayed. If you're in urgent need of a car, it's a good idea to buy the current model when it's on sale, as its powertrain is stable and fuel-efficient. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait and see, as new models often come with safety upgrades like adaptive cruise control. You can also ask the staff at the dealership for their opinions—they have internal training and might share some insights.
