The Honda Stepwgn (stylised as STEPWGN) is a mid-sized MPV produced by Honda since 1996. It is designed with a higher cabin, in contrast to the Odyssey and later also the Stream. Additionally, it can accommodate 8 people, instead of 7 in Odyssey and Stream. In standard form the car has one door on the driver's side but two doors on the pavement / sidewalk side.
The first generation Stepwgn originally appeared at the Tokyo Motor Show as the "F-MX" in 1995.
Japanese sales began on 8 May 1996. At that time, most rival Japanese vehicles usually had the engine mounted under the driver's seat, or a cabover type. The Stepwgn used the latter, and was based on the Civic, to keep prices low - starting from ¥1,548,000 and going up to ¥2,368,000. The passenger side was fitted with a sliding door, to allow easier access. To improve profitability, cost reduction measures were used, such as there being only one engine and transmission option (a 2-litre in-line 4 and a -cvt=countinously variable transmission automatic), and the vehicle design reduced the use of steel panels and parts. be in the Japanese, Australian and Indonesian
Changes include standardizing ABS and dual SRS airbags throughout the range and further adding a number of convenience features.
Japan models went on sale in August 1997 at Honda's Primo, Verno and Clio networks.
It is a version of Stepwgn with pop-up observation/tent, designed for outdoor leisure pursuits and made out of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP).
Japan models went on sale in January 1998 at Honda auto dealers.
The vehicle received a facelift in May 1999. The appearance of the headlights was altered, and the rear license plate position was moved down.
The second generation Honda Stepwgn debuted in April 2001, largely based off the first generation's design.
The second generation Stepwgn used a design that was geared towards families with children. The Stepwgn retained its sliding doors located on one side of the vehicle. The vehicle's seating allows 4 different seating arrangements: "play mode" (sitting opposite each other), "food mode", "sleep mode" and "cargo mode" (the second row of seats is folded flat). A 2.0L Honda K engine DOHC i-VTEC engine powers the second generation Stepwgn, providing 160 PS (117.7 kW), improving both driving performance and fuel economy. Some parts were stiffened in order to further enhance driving performance.
