2007 Honda Stream MPV officially announced

The new Honda Stream MPV, which replaces the older homonymous model since July 14 in Japan, has been at last officially announced. The restyled version features much more aggressive and mature appearance and also makes some family resemblance with current Honda Odyssey JDM.







The new Honda Stream may be ordered in either FWD or 4WD configurations and may draw its power from one of a pair of i-VTEC four-cylinder motors.

The 1.8-liter engine's maximum power output reaches 140 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque. The power is being transferred to the wheels via a five-speed automatic gearbox. The 2.0-liter engine features up to 150 hp and maximum torque of 140 lb-ft and is mated to a CVT transmission with torque converter in FWD configuration, or a five-speed automatic on 4WD vehicles.

The most basic FWD Stream X 1.8 model will cost around $15,800.

For the foreseeable future the MPV will be available to Japanese customers only, but there is still a chance that the new Honda Stream will reach the other end of the pond someday.
