Honda Odyssey has always been Honda's global MPV model, but in the Japanese domestic market, the presence of Odyssey is not very strong, Honda's main focus in the MPV market is still step WGN - this square head car is particularly like a miniature version of the nanny car, but also like an enlarged version of the K-Car.
Honda recently released a new generation of Step WGN, in terms of design, Step WGN and past generations of models, retain the box shape of the box, but in the headlights updated, the use of more rounded elements in the line, but also reduce the complex body feature line. In addition, according to Honda, the new Step WGN is longer and wider in terms of body size, and the visual experience looks more like a serious MPV.
Honda will offer three different configurations of the Step WGN, including the starter Air edition, the more luxurious Spada edition and the top-of-the-line Spada Deluxe Edition, with the latter two models using more chrome trim to make it look more Honda family elements. However, this generation of models, only the upper open tailgate, before Honda once provided the side opening option completely canceled, but also in disguise.
In the interior, Honda has made a significant update to the new Step WGN, and its square body can bring a lot of head space, and it can also ensure the boxy windows, so the lighting effect is also very good. In the design of the dashboard, the new Step WGN uses design elements similar to the Honda HR-V and Civic, and introduces a floating central control screen, practical or not practical, at least with the times. In addition, the instrument panel is also fully LCD.
In the rear seats, Honda introduced the design concept of the captain's seat, so that the comfort of this small MPV is guaranteed, and long-distance travel will not be too painful, but if the back of the second row of seats is really tilted back, the third row is basically not practical.
In terms of powertrain, Honda is expected to follow the configuration of the previous generation model, including a 150 hp 1.5T engine and a maximum torque of 203 Nm. But perhaps Honda will be pushing its e:HEV hybrid powertrain, which consists of a 2.0-liter engine plus an AC motor with a maximum system power of 184 hp and a maximum system torque of 315 Nm.
For this highly practical MPV, in fact, it is really necessary to promote it to overseas markets outside of Japan, and there may not be no market. In fact, the Chinese market is also missing a model that can still pull goods from IKEA, at least it can run online car-hailing and can also run goods.
