Japanese automaker Honda has released a many details about its 2022 Step WGN minivan. The first- word Step WGN debuted at the 1995 Tokyo Auto Show and featured Civic underpinnings, a single reverse sliding door, and seating for eight inhabitants. Still, the newest sixth- word variant is longer, high, and broader than its forerunners without altering its compact footmark.
Honda claims the new Step WGN “ aims to round each family’s life by designing the surface in a simple and clean manner.” The new Step WGN arrives at Japanese dealerships in spring 2022 in three neat variants Air, Spada, and Spada Premium Elite.
The base Air model features a slimmer front tulle and blockish headlamps, while higher trims get a more prominent tulle design, chrome bodywork, and a hinder spoiler.
Sorely, the magnific “ Waku Waku Gate” hinder liftgate from the gregarious Step WGN is gone in favor of a more conventional, one- piece design. The former three- way tailgate can swing sideways or open overhead in a single piece. It’s a dateless piece of innovative design, but switching to a one- piece tailgate is nearly clearly cheaper and easier to manufacture.
People in Japan do n’t buy a Step WGN to get noticed. Rather, they buy it to lounge in its gloriously ample innards. There’s tons of headroom no matter where you sit, and the alternate-row captain’s chairpersons can move side to side and forward or backward. Honda claims this design allows parents in the front to reach snappily for their child or children in the reverse.
The Step WGN’s minimalist dashboard features a floating touchscreen infotainment system, while the motorist gets to gawk at an each-digital instrument cluster. In addition, the alternate and third-row seats are reclinable to form a bed, perfect for the “ van life” movement. Also, the seat covers are water and canvas-resistant for royal cleaning.
Honda has yet to unveil the powertrain options, but we reckon the 2022 Step WGN will come with a conventional gasoline-powered and cold-blooded powertrain. There’s no each-electric Step WGN in the channels, but it would be cool to have an electric minivan with a erected-in modular bed. As usual, the Honda Step WGN will only see the light of day in Japan and other corridor of Southeast Asia, indeed if the inflexibility and compact footmark it offers would feel to make it an idea addition to the US’ shrinking array of megacity buses.
