Honda Vezel Japan Taxi (29RN-075)

29RN-075 is a model of a Honda Vezel, first generation (RU), pre-facelift, Japanese Taxi, painted in white.

The Honda Vezel is a name used in the Chinese and Japanese markets, while on other parts of the world the name HR-V is used instead. The first generation HR-V (code:GH), in production from 1998 to 2006, did not bear the Vezel name. As such, the Vezel and the HR-V, despite being the same vehicle, have desynchronized generations: the second generation HR-V is the first generation Vezel (code:RU), and the recent third generation HR-V is the second generation Vezel (code:RV, sales started in 2021). The first generation Vezel (RU) started production in 2013, with a facelift in 2018/9 that resulted in minor cosmetic changes. The Vezel has both FWD or AWD configurations and the petrol or diesel engines are between 1.5 and 1.8 liters, producing between 118hp and 182hp, with an hybrid version available.

The Era Car model is the pre-facelift Vezel. Although both pre an post facelift models look similar there is a smoking gun that allows us to tell them apart. The fog light shroud on the front bumper has an horizontal tear drop like shape on the pre-facelift version, while it has a more trapezoidal shape (less horizontally elongated and less round) on the post facelift version. This means the modeled car is a 2013-2018 vehicle. We can further specify this is an all wheel drive vehicle as the AWD bagde appears on the model on the back. When it comes to the color, there is no way to tell if the real vehicle the model is based on wasn't resprayed, as is usual with many taxis around the world. However there were not many whites offered with the Vezel (and HR-V). Some examples include: Tafetta White, Platinum White Pearl (NH883P), and White Orchid Pearl (note that some of the colors may be the same under different names). As per the wheels, an authentic OEM 17' inch design was modeled: 64075 Charcoal Machined. When it comes to the taxi aspect there are four features to take notice: the licence plate, the blue lettering on the doors, the decal on the back bumper, and, the most striking one, the yellow taxi lantern on the roof adorned with small stars in blue. In addition the opening hood and opening doors allow to peek inside the engine bay and interior, respectively, which are detailed. Other aspects worth mentioning include inserted front lights (including fog lights) and tail lights, back window wiper, painted exhaust, accurate badging on the front (Honda logo) and back, and the small reflectors on the lower part of the back bumper.

The first edition of the same number (29RF-076) is very similar, but without the taxi details (it is not a taxi), and with a vibrant red color.

In the table below you can see the dimensions of the model. Consider some margin of error, given how small the units are, and the difficulty of capturing accurate measurements without damaging the model.
