Exterior Design
The Vezel’s exterior styling marks a major leap forward. Moving away from the rounded look of its predecessor, it now adopts a sleeker, coupe-like stance with sharp LED headlights, a slim integrated grille, and a clean rear profile with a full-width LED light bar. The sloping roofline adds a sporty flair, while hidden rear door handles give it a coupe-inspired character. Despite its stylish approach, Honda has ensured that practicality is not compromised. The body proportions allow for a spacious cabin, while the raised ground clearance and crossover stance make it suitable for Sri Lankan road conditions. Overall, the Vezel feels like a premium urban SUV without being too large or bulky.
