    The Japanese twin of the HR-V is the Honda Vezel, which debuted last year at the Tokyo Motor Show. The vehicle is currently on sale. Vezel is offered with two powertrain options. The first one is the 1.5-liter direct-injected VTEC four-cylinder unit, while the second is a hybrid system that utilizes the same engine coupled with an electric motor.
