- Generation
- Tap a generation (↓) to jump to its full breakdown below; the colour maps back to the timeline strip + legend above.
- Price range
- P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
- Down payment
- MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
- Availability
- High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

- Brand reliability
- Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
- Resale strength
- 100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
- Peer set
- Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
- Quadrants
- The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict
The e:HEV hybrid (LFA i-MMD) is the pick — Honda's series-parallel hybrid system has matured into a reliable powertrain that sidesteps the Earth Dreams CVT shudder pattern from the 1st-gen Vezel. Brand-new platform; early build problems centred on a steering-gearbox recall worth verifying via VIN. 1.5 NA L15B7 sells in some markets but the e:HEV is what most SG buyers will see and what makes the car desirable.

- S$120k–158k
- Median
- S$137k
- Decay
- 6.1%/yr
What's good
- e:HEV hybrid (LFA + 2-motor i-MMD) with VIN verified clear of steering recalls — sidesteps the CVT-shudder story that defined the 1st-gen Vezel; i-MMD is mechanically simpler and more proven. Recall verification is the only paperwork that matters at point of sale.
- Build post-2022 with software updates applied — early-2021 launch cars accumulated infotainment + auto-start-stop complaints that later cars + dealer software refreshes addressed.
What to watch
- Heavy steering / steering-wheel notchiness at low speed — the recalled gearbox assembly causes excessive internal friction; Honda will repair under recall but verify the work was done. Walk if symptom present and no recall paperwork.
- Persistent auto-start-stop faults or warning lights on test drive — early builds showed an electrical-fault pattern around the 12V system / ignition. Insist on a diagnostic readout before purchase if any warning lights have been triggered.

1st gen RU (2013-2021) · Reg 2014–2021

Verdict
Post-2016 builds with CVT/TCM update history are the safer pick; early-MY (2014-2015) hybrids without the update and 8+ year cars with no IMA battery health record are the gen-defining risks.
- Asking
- S$31k–71k
- Median
- S$55k
- Decay
- 26.9%/yr
What's good
- Post-2016 build with CVT-related service stamps — Honda updated the CVT software + tensioner on early units; cars with that work in the service log are safer bets than untouched early MYs.
What to watch
- MY2014-2015 hybrid with no CVT update history — early-build CVT judder + pulley wear is the headline 1st-gen Vezel issue; ask whether Honda's CVT/TCM update was applied before the warranty period closed.
- 8+ year hybrid car with no IMA battery age stated — IMA hybrid-battery degradation drives the largest 1st-gen repair line on this generation; ask for the state-of-health (SOH) report or assume replacement is due.

Common questions about the Honda Vezel
- How much does a used Honda Vezel cost in Singapore?
- Most used Honda Vezel on the market are around 9 years old, asking roughly S$26k–S$36k (typically about S$30k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
- How much does a used Honda Vezel depreciate per year?
- A used Honda Vezel loses value at a fairly steady pace — around 18% a year — with no real plateau. An older one costs less but keeps falling at much the same rate, so there's no single 'bargain age': buy on price and condition, not on timing.
- Is the Honda Vezel reliable?
- In our read, the Honda Vezel scores 85 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
- What should I expect to pay for a used Honda Vezel with a given mileage?
- It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
- Where do these Honda Vezel figures come from?
- They're worked out from current used-Honda Vezel listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
