The Vezel is offered with petrol and hybrid engines and with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

The exterior of the Vezel does not look much like the new Fit, except in the grill, but the roof is distinctly curved to the car a sleeker look. Like the Fit, it has flat-folding seats. The standard car offers 453 liters of cargo, while the hybrid has 404 liters.

It comes standard with an Electric Parking Brake and Automatic Brake Hold.

The hybrid version uses a 1.5-liter direct injected four-cylinder with the power of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder. The hybrid is also available with all-wheel drive.
