2026 Honda StepWGN on display in Bangkok – e:HEV Spada variant at RM216k; CBU Japan; 2.0L hybrid

Here’s a live gallery of the Honda StepWGN that is currently on display at this year’s Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS). Currently in its sixth generation, the StepWGN was first presented in Thailand at last year’s Thailand International Motor Expo before official pricing was announced in February this year.

Fully imported (CBU) from Japan, the StepWGN retails for 1.78 million baht (about RM216k), which makes it the second most expensive model in the local line-up after the Civic Type R that is listed at 3.99 million baht (RM484k). The MPV costs more than both the CR-V e:HEV and Accord e:HEV that sell for as much as 1.729 million baht (RM210k) at their highest respective trim levels.

Thailand’s StepWGN comes in a sole Spada trim level with a hybrid powertrain, the latter being the brand’s Intelligent Multi-Mode Drive (i-MMD) system. This is based around a gasohol-compliant 2.0 litre naturally-aspirated inline-four petrol engine serving up 145 PS (143 hp or 107 kW) and 175 Nm of torque.

The engine works with an electric motor to generate electricity for a battery that is used to power the primary traction motor at the front rated at 184 PS (181 hp or 135 kW) and 315 Nm of torque. When needed, the Atkinson-cycle engine can also clutch in via an E-CVT to directly drive the front wheels. Honda claims a fuel consumption of 18.5 km per litre, while the hybrid battery is guaranteed for 10 years/unlimited mileage – the vehicle is covered for five years/unlimited mileage.

In terms of equipment, the StepWGN comes standard with 16-inch wheels, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, LED exterior lighting, paddles for regenerative braking levels, a seven-seat interior, triple-zone climate control with rear vents, smart key access, synthetic leather/fabric upholstery, second-row tray tables and ottoman, an eight-inch Advanced Touch infotainment system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, six airbags and Honda Sensing suite.

Meteoroid Gray Metallic is the only zero-cost colour option for the MPV, with Twilight Mist Black Pearl and Crystal Black Pearl adding another 10,000 baht (RM1.2k) to the final price. There’s also Platinum White Pearl for an additional 14,000 baht (RM1.7k).

In Thailand, the StepWGN’s asking price places it in competition against the Nissan Serena e-Power Highway Star that goes for 1.69 million baht (RM205k). In addition to Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia are two other neighbouring countries that have welcomed the StepWGN.
