Recently, Honda officially released the trailer of its new generation STEP WGN model. Domestic consumers may be unfamiliar with the name, which is a compact MPV model of Honda, positioned slightly lower than the Aude racing model on sale in China. It is reported that the new car will be officially unveiled on January 7, 2022, and its competitors in the Japanese domestic market are the new generation of Toyota Noah/Voxy models that will also be released in January next year.

The trailer basically shows the full picture of the side shape of the new car, and it can be seen that the new car adopts a standard "square box" shape, the front and tail of the car are straight up and down, so that the new car can get a larger riding space with the smallest possible body, and the short front and straight lines are also based on practical considerations. In addition, the new car also adopts side sliding doors, the rim size is very restrained, and the taillights are vertically laid out.
In terms of interior, the new car is equipped with a floating central control large screen, and a large number of physical buttons and knobs are retained below.
