    Unsurpassed Excellence Honda Vezel SUV Delights with 5-Star High-Quality Interior

    Honda’s Vezel, the flagship compact SUV, has been making waves with its exceptional features, and now, it’s the interior that’s stealing the spotlight. Boasting a “high-quality interior” that surpasses its class, the Vezel’s “Glass Ceiling” and “Greige Interior” have left automotive enthusiasts in awe.

    The Vezel, introduced as a compact crossover SUV in 2013, immediately captured hearts with its powerful SUV-like image coupled with an elegant coupe-style body. Its stylish design, convenient size, and availability of a hybrid version contributed to its immense popularity as a compact crossover SUV. Now in its second generation, launched in April 2021, the Vezel features a square design with a horizontal tone, further accentuating its coupe-like styling.

    Under the hood, Honda equips the Vezel with its unique 2-motor hybrid system, known as “e: HEV.” This hybrid system not only ensures impressive fuel efficiency but also delivers substantial power output. Moreover, safety takes the forefront with the inclusion of the advanced driver assistance system “Honda Sensing,” standard across all variants, enhancing the SUV’s safety performance.

    The Vezel’s lineup offers diverse options, with the 1.5-liter gasoline model exclusively available in the “G” mono grade, and the hybrid model coming in three variants: “e: HEV X,” “e: HEV Z,” and “e: HEV PLaY.” Additionally, 4WD models are available for all grades except “e: HEV PLaY.” Prices range from 2,399,100 yen to 3,418,800 yen (consumption tax included, applicable from July 27).

The interior showcases a tasteful two-tone color scheme, with black as the base color and a striking greige accent in the central part of the instrument panel and door trim. The seats are upholstered with a combination of prime smooth material and dark gray fabric, highlighted by vibrant orange stitching on the prime smooth material and elegant light gray stitching on the fabric.

    Honda pays meticulous attention to detail, even extending the luxurious accents to the center console and steering wheel, which feature eye-catching orange accents. The center console receives a special tactile paint finish, elevating the overall sense of refinement. The interior is further adorned with piano black and silver decorative panels, exuding a premium ambiance that rivals higher-end SUVs.

    For those who crave a more expansive view and a brighter cabin, the “e: HEV PLaY” model can be complemented with the exclusive “panoramic roof,” adding a sense of openness to the already splendid interior.

    Honda’s Vezel has undoubtedly set a new benchmark for compact SUVs with its exceptional “Glass Ceiling” and “Greige Interior,” redefining what it means to have a high-quality cabin. As automotive enthusiasts eagerly await the opportunity to experience this exceptional SUV, the Vezel continues to solidify its position as a leading choice in the compact crossover SUV segment.

    The CG of the “GR Prius” is amazing!

    Toyota’s new “”Prius”” with powerful over fenders “”GR spec””? The three mufflers are too cool! The CG of the “”GR Prius”” is amazing!

    Is it feasible? GR-spec Prius
     The new Toyota Prius will make its world premiere on November 16, 2022, and is expected to go on sale this winter.

    It looks so fast! View a rendering of the new Toyota Prius armed with over fenders and GR specs .

     Theo throttle, a virtual car tuner, has posted a rendering of the Prius in GR spec.

     The Prius was created in 1997 as the world’s first mass-produced hybrid car. To date, four generations of the Prius have been introduced, with a cumulative global sales volume of approximately 5.05 million units, and it has been widely used around the world.

     In 2022, which marks the 25th anniversary of its birth, the fifth generation of the new Prius will make its debut. In addition to its strength of high environmental performance, the new Prius was developed to be a car with “”a design that makes you fall in love with it at first sight”” and “”a driving experience that makes you fall in love with it.

     The exterior inherits the iconic “”mono-form silhouette”” of the original Prius, but has evolved to sportier and more stylish proportions with a lower center of gravity based on the second-generation TNGA platform and the adoption of large 19-inch diameter tires.

     The hybrid and PHEV models are scheduled to go on sale this winter and spring 2023, respectively.

     Toyota’s GR, on the other hand, is a sports car series developed by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing. The current lineup includes the Toyota GR86, GR Yaris, GR Supra, and GR Corolla.

     Theo throttle’s rendering of the Prius, customized to GR specifications, has been released.

     The exterior is painted a bright red, and the front face and fenders are fitted with parts designed to look like a GR Corolla. The roof and door mirrors are painted black, giving the car a sporty look.

     The rear view is also equipped with a GR Corolla-like bumper, and the muffler has a three-pronged design that is uniquely eco-car-like.

     The car has been praised as “”This is amazing! This is a beautiful Prius”” (editor’s translation).

    Theo throttle

     Theo throttle has created renderings of various “”what if”” cars that do not yet exist in reality, such as a Toyota Tundra with Lexus specifications and a Toyota Century with SUV specifications, and has posted them on his social networking service.

     The renderings created by Theo throttle are, of course, unrealistic designs that have not been approved by the manufacturer, but since the previous generation Prius (PHV model) also has a GR Sport model, we cannot completely rule out the possibility of a GR model appearing.
