– Packaging

The comfortable interior breathes relaxation and quality from every nook and cranny.

– The wheelbase has been increased by 20mm1 and the pedal layout adjusted to increase the tandem distance between the second and third row seats by 30mm1, giving more room to third-row passengers.

– The side sill has been redesigned to obtain an extra 20mm [1] of width for passengers in the first and second rows. For the third row, the use of a slim fuel tank permits a lower floor, while the reduced cross section in the rear frame results in more width. The adoption of a separate rear frame and floor panel construction allows for a floor flat all the way out to its edges on both sides.

– The floor tunnel has been eliminated for a significant gain in leg room. Exhaustive efforts to remove even minor bumps and gradations in the floor overall result in a completely flat floor that creates a relaxing space, no matter where the passenger is sitting.

Honda Stream Interior

The new Honda Stream‘s interior combines a sporty driving environment with a refined, modern quality.

– The instrument panel features two oversized meters positioned for easy viewing, along with a center panel angled toward the driver for enhanced ease of use. The internal configuration of the instrument panel has been made more compact to secure more room for the driver’s legs, while the portion of the dashboard on the passenger’s side employs soft materials to give the passenger a heightened feeling of security.

– The instruments and center-console cup holders are finished with ring-shaped metal rims to impart a modern feel. Blue lighting at night creates a change from daytime ambience.

– A telescopic tilt steering wheel and seat height adjuster allow the driver to find just the right driving position.

Utility

Honda Stream‘s simple, easy utility features are designed for maximum ease of use.

– The seat mechanisms are designed for easy operation. The second-row seat is equipped with an easy-to-use walk-in slide mechanism that allows third-row passengers to enter the vehicle comfortably, while both the second- and third-row seatbacks can be folded down for increased luggage space.

– A variety of storage compartments are located around the cockpit and for each of the three rows of seating. Shape, volume, and positioning of the compartments have been designed for maximum ease of use.

– The luggage area features two separate, lidded compartments left and right, for greater versatility to suit a variety of uses.

Honda Stream Powertrain

The intelligent powertrains deliver strong acceleration and near-perfect linear response.

– Newly developed 2.0-liter i-VTEC engine and 1.8-liter i-VTEC engine.

The i-VTEC system further improves on Honda’s original VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) technology to allow the engine to retard intake valve closure timing under low engine-load driving conditions. Valve control is complemented by a DBW (Drive By Wire) system that provides optimum throttle valve control, significantly reducing pumping losses.
