Honda has unveiled the new Urban SUV production model at the Tokyo Motor Show.

The new model will be named Vezel for the Japanese market and will be launched on 20th December 2013. In Europe it will be launched during 2015, with the name being confirmed nearer to launch.

The exterior design of the new model is close to a SUV, with coupe-like styling in its upper body. The sharp character lines create an inspiring and emotional exterior design. The interior is designed to create a high-quality space for the driver and front passenger, and comfort and functionality for those in the rear.

In Japan, Honda will launch both a hybrid and petrol model of the Vezel. The hybrid model will be equipped with Sport Hybrid i-DCD (Intelligent Dual Clutch Drive) that combines a 1.5 litre direct injection engine with a high-output electric motor, and the petrol model will be equipped with a 1.5 litre direct injection engine. Adopting new-generation powertrain technologies, the Vezel delivers both a dynamic driving character and excellent fuel economy for both models.
