The new Honda Vezel released on April 23, 2021. Not only the texture of the interior and exterior, but also the packaging and driving mechanism have evolved significantly, but Honda's new connected technology "Honda CONNECT" is the first adoption for Vezel.

　Even if you know it as knowledge, it's quite shocking when you actually experience it.

　The first thing I experienced was "Honda remote control" and "Honda digital key". If you send a command to turn on the air conditioner from a remote location using a smartphone with the dedicated Honda Remote Control App installed, you will hear the sound of the car air conditioner fan starting to rotate. When I got closer and operated the door unlock, the door lock opened immediately.

　In addition, the "Honda remote control" uses a 4G telephone line to support remote operation, and the "Honda digital key" uses Bluetooth to instantly respond to the driver's intentions at a short distance. .

　After unlocking the door and getting into the driver's seat, enter the PIN code displayed on the meter into your smartphone. After that, according to the operation guidance displayed on the smartphone screen, pressing the power switch while depressing the brake pedal activated all systems including the power train, and the car was ready to run.

　This system does not require a mechanical key or even a smart key (Honda recommends carrying it with you at all times, assuming that your smartphone's battery runs out or the radio wave environment is bad). It can be said that it is a useful function because it is now.

In addition, vehicles equipped with the "Honda CONNECT Display", which is standard on the highest grade "PLaY" and optional on other grades, have the same "in-vehicle Wi-Fi" and "Honda App Center" as the Honda e, as well as A new function from Vezel, "Automatic Map Update Service" is now available.

　With the "automatic map update service", when you set a destination on the navigation system, you can optionally update the map data of roads newly opened on the route and the route considering it. reflected automatically. Also, if there is a new road around the current location, it will be automatically updated, eliminating the need for troublesome operations.

In addition, we cannot overlook the fact that the number of applications distributed from the "Honda App Center" has increased significantly from 4 types for Honda e to 9 types for Vezel. Among them, "Yorimichi Spot Search Yoroko! by NAVITIME" is an excellent one that calculates the required time by setting the route considering the time spent at the stopover.

　Connected technology is expected to evolve rapidly as 5G (fifth generation) and later mobile communication systems become more widespread, but even at this point there are many useful functions. If you get the new Vezel, I want you to actively use it.
