Japanese customers have quite a bit of waiting to do for their all-new 2021 Honda HR-V (Vezel), as the waiting list stretches up to a year.
It's a catch-22 situation for Honda as the waiting list is a result of strong orders that's been complicated by the global semiconductor shortage, reports Japanese media.
Hybrid variants lead the list, with the range-topping 1.5 Play e:HEV commanding the year-long wait period. The mid-range 'Z' and 'X' e:HEV variants meanwhile have a 6-month waiting list.
Customers who've waited for the sole pure-petrol, base 'G' variant will have to wait 3 months, with no difference in delivery time regardless of whichever colour is chosen.
The HR-V got off to a dream start in Japan with over 32,000 bookings within the first month of sales, six times more than Honda's initial monthly sales target. 17,000 of those were from pre-orders even before the car was launched.
With humble beginnings collecting diecast models and spending hours virtually tuning dream cars on the computer, his love of cars has delightfully transformed into a career. Sanjay enjoys how the same passion for cars transcends boundaries and brings people together.
