The 2021 Honda Vezel e:HEV Play marks the debut of the second-generation Vezel (known globally as the HR‑V), launched in Japan on April 22, 2021. Built on a lighter yet more rigid platform, this FWD‑only trim adds softer suspension tuning—around 10 % more compliant than the standard model—for enhanced comfort, and a longer rear damper travel for better ride refinement . Under the hood, it sports Honda’s dual‑motor “e:HEV” hybrid system—also seen in the Fit—with a 1.5 L Atkinson‑cycle i‑VTEC engine delivering around 106 PS (≈105 bhp) at 6 000 rpm and an electric motor adding an additional ~131 PS and 253 Nm torque; combined fuel economy is an impressive ~25 km/L (WLTC cycle) The standard dimensions are overall length 4 330 mm, width 1 790 mm, and height 1 590 mm, with a wheelbase of 2 610 mm. Available features include 18″ alloy wheels, full‑LED lighting, panoramic sunroof, heated seats & steering, 360° camera, wireless charging, hands‑free power tailgate, and leather‑fabric seats—reflecting the premium “Play” trim’s focus on comfort and convenience . With its blend of stylish design, smooth hybrid powertrain, efficient performance, and upscale features, the 2021 Vezel e:HEV Play offers a compelling package for modern crossover buyers.
