With the upgrading of consumption and the advent of the three-child era, MPV has slowly got rid of the tepid state and become the first choice for many families. Like GL8, Odyssey, Alexand, etc., sales have been good in recent years. Perhaps seeing the potential of this segment, Honda has also accelerated its launch of MPV models. A few days ago, Report Auto obtained the official map of Honda's new generation Step WGN, which is scheduled to be released in the Japanese domestic market in April 2022 and is expected to be introduced into the domestic market.
From the design point of view, the new generation of Step WGN is more square, like the "small Odyssey", the head of the vehicle is equipped with a metal multi-banner intake grille, the LED headlights on both sides are also connected by a metal trim, the lower grille is selected to smoke the black mesh modeling design, the overall appearance is still quite high, will not be like many independent MPV, giving people a very cheap feeling.

In terms of interior, the interior design of the car follows Honda's usual minimalist style, equipped with an LCD display + mechanical pointer combination instrument panel, and a floating LCD central control screen above the center console. The overall design language is relatively moderate, although there are not too many surprises to speak of, but it is also not wrong.
In terms of seat layout, the new car adopts a 2+2+3 seven-seat layout design, and it is expected to launch a 2+2+2 six-seat layout model in the future. At present, the body size of the new car has not been exposed, but it is known that the new car is positioned as a compact MPV, which is limited by the limited body size, and presumably the storage space of each seat and trunk is not as good as that of the Odyssey. However, Honda has always had the title of space magician, and there may be surprises in the future.
In terms of power, the new car will introduce two power combinations, and the fuel model will be equipped with a power combination of a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a CVT transmission. The new e:HEV hybrid version will be equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum engine of 107 kW, an electric motor with a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 315 Nm.
To say that the Japanese MPV, the most representative is undoubtedly the Toyota Alpha, but its price is too high, so the Odyssey may be the most popular with everyone. At present, Odyssey positioning medium-sized MPV, starting at 229,800, new car positioning is lower, the price is bound to be lower, naked car starting price price of less than 200,000 is inevitable, I don't know if anyone will expect?
