When it comes to the MPV of the Honda brand, the first thing that is mentioned must be the popular models of Odyssey and Alexand, and the name "STEP WGN" is much stranger, in fact, STEP WGN is a MPV positioned lower than the Odyssey in the Japanese domestic market, because it has not been officially introduced into the country, so the popularity is not high. Recently, Honda officially released the new STEP WGN model, as the sixth generation of products, the new car has been upgraded in many ways.
The new Honda STEP WGN adopts the latest family design language, and the boxy grille has added a punched style inside, which looks tougher with rectangular LED headlights on both sides, and is more youthful and stylish.
From the side, the length of the engine compartment of the new car has increased, the overall contour and lines are very straight, the interior space is believed to be more regular, in addition, the design of the double A-pillar and the large area of side windows bring a very good view, and the extremely low ground clearance is also convenient for passengers to get on and off.
The rear of the new STEP WGN eliminates the unique "Waku Waku door" design on the fifth-generation model and instead adopts a more traditional shape, the tailgate opening area is still large, and the lower threshold is also conducive to moving items. Long strips of light are located on both sides of the tailgate and are highly recognizable.
The new STEP WGN cabin is also based on the latest family style, the upper part of the center console is very similar to the new Civic, equipped with a full LCD instrument and a floating central control screen, and below is a push-button shift mechanism. Of course, the convenience is the biggest feature of the new car, specifically, the new car provides a second row of small table boards, leg rests and armrests, and the third row of seats also provides cup holders on both sides.
In terms of power, the fuel version of the new Honda STEP WGN is expected to use the 1.5T engine, and the new car will also use a hybrid system for the first time, and the fuel economy performance will be even better.
Summary: Compared with Odyssey, the flexible and compact Honda STEP WGN seems to be more suitable for the home market, not only guaranteeing excellent space practicality, but also lower positioning to give it an advantage in terms of price. Considering that the Civic TYPE R is going to enter China, then in the current era of MPV becoming increasingly hot, will Honda introduce this new STEP WGN into the country to occupy more markets? Expect to see.
