The 2022 Honda Vezel 1.5 X 4WD Hybrid is a variant of the Honda Vezel (known as the HR-V in some markets) that combines hybrid technology with all-wheel drive (AWD) capability. This model provides enhanced fuel efficiency while still offering the practicality and versatility of an AWD system. Here’s a detailed overview:
Key Specifications:
- Engine: 1.5-liter DOHC i-VTEC gasoline engine, paired with Honda’s ehybrid system.
- Electric Motor: Integrated with the hybrid system for additional power and efficiency.
- Combined Power Output:
- Gasoline engine: Approximately 98 PS (96 hp)
- Electric motor: Approximately 131 PS (129 hp)
- The combined output delivers smooth acceleration and improved fuel efficiency.
- Transmission: Electric Continuously Variable Transmission (e-CVT)
- Drivetrain: 4WD (all-wheel drive)
- The hybrid system optimizes energy use between the engine and electric motor, while the 4WD system provides enhanced traction and stability on various terrains.
Hybrid System:
- The e(hybrid electric vehicle) system uses a combination of the gasoline engine and an electric motor. It can operate in various modes, including EV (electric-only) mode, Hybrid mode (where both the engine and motor work together), and Engine Drive mode (primarily gasoline engine).
- This system improves fuel efficiency significantly compared to traditional gasoline engines while providing instant torque from the electric motor for better acceleration.
Fuel Efficiency:
