Honda Motor Co., Ltd. will begin sales of the all-new N-WGN and N-WGN Custom on August 9, 2019 at dealerships across Japan.
Based on the underlying concept of the Honda N Series, which is to offer “enjoyable lives with N” and the development approach of determining the most important things in people’s daily lives and thoroughly refining such core values, Honda further pursued safety performance and user-friendliness for this all-new N-WGN. Based on this, Honda strived to develop a vehicle which blends in to the daily life of each and every customer, can be used comfortably by anyone and has friendliness.
The Honda SENSING® suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies is available as standard equipment1 on the all-new N-WGN, and its Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS™) can detect a bicycle cutting in front of the vehicle, making the all-new N-WGN the first mini-vehicle in the market to offer this feature2. Moreover, its ability to detect pedestrians at night without street lights was further advanced*3, enabling the driver to drive with greater peace of mind.
Utilizing the platform of N-BOX, the N-WGN adopts Honda’s original center-tank layout, which places the fuel tank underneath the front seats, to realize a spacious cabin that enhances occupant comfort for everyday use as well as cargo space with high usability.
For the driver, a telescopic & tilt steering mechanism was adopted so that drivers of any physique can find and maintain the optimal driving position.
The cargo space has been a very popular feature of the N-WGN. For this all-new N-WGN, the ground height of the tailgate opening was lowered to make it easier to load heavy and tall items. With the use of a cargo board, which comes with the vehicle, the cargo space can be divided into upper and lower areas, which enhances the convenience of the users by enabling different cargo space arrangement depending on the use situation.
With this all-new N-WGN, Honda will begin evolving the advertising campaign with a tagline, “New Simple!” which represents the approach taken to develop this model, a commitment to what is important to people in their daily lives.
Exterior
All-new N-WGN features firm, yet substantial-looking surfaces which cover the entire vehicle from the front-end and doors all the way through the tailgate. While looking clean and simple, the box-shaped body hints at the spaciousness of the cabin. Together with the round headlights, the exterior design expresses a friendliness and solid sense of security which blends in to people’s daily lives.
While adhering to the basic design concept of N-WGN, the exterior design of the all-new N-WGN Custom expresses outstanding visual and tactile quality which resonates with the sensitivity of mature customers, by featuring front and rear bumpers that boldly emphasize the dynamic presence of the vehicle and headlights and front grille which were exquisitely designed while giving attention to every detail.
Interior
With brown as the base interior color, the all-new N-WGN features seats with an ivory front surface and brown side and back surfaces, which blend in with the cabin space and express the spaciousness and comfort of the cabin.
With black as the base interior color, the all-new N-WGN Custom features combinations of titanium-looking garnishes with a graceful luster to express the high-quality and sharp image of the cabin space.
