Honda has collected over 32,000 orders in Japan for the all-new 2021 Honda Vezel (Honda HR-V) within one month since order books are open.
The higher-grade variants equipped with the e:HEV hybrid proved to be the most popular engine choice for Japanese consumers. Among the total bookings collected, 81% are front-wheel drive variants while 19% of customers opt for all-wheel drive in their HR-V.
Interestingly, the range-topping Play variant is not the most popular choice, instead, it’s the Z variant (one grade below Play) that makes up 76% of the orders.
The HR-V Z variant comes with a generous list of equipment such as Honda Sensing, powered tailgate, leather seats, and 18-inch alloys which are pretty much everything you need and want in a family SUV.

Why SUVs get popular in Malaysia in recent year? In these past few months when I've seen the hottest of most car brand in Malaysia are SUV, for example, X70, X50, Ativa, HRV, CX-5 and etc, I am curious about the reason SUVs become the trend in Malaysia. Any sharing would be appreciated.
