Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
A tall small wagon first seen in 1998, built on the little Logo's platform and at first sold only as a three-door. It was among the earliest of what are now called small crossovers. Honda dropped it in the mid-2000s and brought the name back a decade later on a Fit-based car that Japan knew as the Vezel.
