Most versatile and spacious 7-seater, and quite powerful too.

Review After owning a few MPVs, I have fairly good idea what I want my perfect MPV to be. Basically it should be huge on the inside, small on the outside, has good FC of >10km/L, proper modern safety package, reliable gearbox, flexible and quality interior, modern features. And the Steppie fit the description to the T. As it is near end of life and has undergone facelift 2 years old, it is choke-full of features and updated to the latest standards compare to its peers. In fact the latest Freed and Fit/Jazz has features carried over from this Steppie, so it is definitely quite updated.
And rumours has it that the new model to be debutted next year would be without Waku Waku door, so that make this model worth to get if it come to be true. But nobody can be sure.
What I like LED headlight with DRL
1.5L petrol engine with century sprint of < 9sec
Good FC at about 550km to 600km per tank of fuel
Excellent Honda sensing safety features
Very functional interior with many storage spaces and hooks
Fully collapsible 3rd row that can be done with 1 finger
Waku Waku door
Very spacious interior space for passengers
Fully digital dashboard
Huge side mirrors
Powerful aircon (always set at 24 degree celsius)
End of life model
What I do not like A bit of japanese words on dashboard
End of life model
A bit bouncy ride due to tall stance
Harder to wash due to huge surface
Review This is a good car. Bought a freed before this. Sold it after a few months just to own a honda stepwagon. The car is spacious and if u are familiar with honda freed. It quite similar to it in terms of interior. It has a large cabin space for a 1.5cc car as it has a height of 1.83m. With its turbo charged engine, it picks up speed very well especially with the eco mode turned off. It can combine with honda sensing to cruise at 135km/h with minimum lane assist. The waku waku door is also an unique feature specific to this car as it allows one to open the backspace either from the side or bottom up.
What I like Powerful engine at 1.5cc
Special feature like the waku waku door
Spacious cabin with lots of leg room
Stylish exterior for the ex model
What I do not like fuel consumption full tank 490km using eco mode
