The third generation of the Stepwgn (RG) minivan with three rows of seats and an 8-passenger passenger compartment was born in 2005. If you classify a new car by body type, then this is a typical “one and a half volume” station wagon. In order to give it more attractiveness, it was decided to reduce its length and height. The bottom of the car was lower than its predecessor, and the distance from ground level to the floor was 390 mm (minus 60 mm), which provides easy access to the cabin. The wide vaulted ceiling of the Honda Stepwgn, combined with a spacious comfortable interior and a wooden floor covering, which was first installed in the interior of the minivan, give it special qualities. The engine can be a volume of 2 liters or 2.4 liters, their power is 155 and 162 hp. respectively.
 The new Stepwgn has moved away from the old “square” shapes, looks more dynamic and is not even without grace. When looking at the profile, a characteristic line attracts attention, which begins immediately behind the front wings and gradually climbs higher. Leg mirrors and large triangular windows in front are also highlighted to reduce blind spots. To Stepwgn even more consistent with the status of the "family" of the car, provides a number of very useful options. For example, a 6-fragment sunscreen, which is most welcome on an elongated (1.68 m) and translucent roof. Or, for example, the seats of the back row, reclining upwards and sliding on a sled. And on top of that, a leveling floor under the seats of the second and third rows. The front of the Stepwgn cabin looks very modern and stylish, especially the digital dashboard, which stretches almost the entire width of the cabin. The car will offer a multifunctional steering wheel, a navigation system with a large full-color screen, an abundance of storage space, two electric doors, a panoramic mirror for observing children in the cabin and much more. The third-generation Honda Stepwgn engine can have a volume of 2 liters and 2.4 liters, both equipped with an i-VTEC variable valve timing system and an electronic fuel management system. The transmission on all cars without exception is automatic, but with a different number of gears. So, on a 2-liter car with front-wheel or all-wheel drive there is a “machine” with 4 gears. On a car equipped with a 2.4-liter engine, in the case of a four-wheel drive complete set, the “automatic” is 5-speed, and in the case of a front-wheel drive complete set, a CVT with manual shift mode. In 10/15 mode, the two-liter model is capable of driving up to 11.6-13.2 kilometers per liter of gasoline, while the more powerful one has an indicator of 11.2 km / l with an “automatic”, while the version with a variator has an extra kilometer mileage - up to 12.2 km / l. The fuel tank has a volume of 55-57 liters, for this generation it is transferred to the rear of the body.

 Honda Stepwgn retains the front-wheel drive layout, while the chassis design has changed quite significantly. The center of gravity has been reduced, driving performance and cornering stability have been improved. A lot of this contributed to the overall increase in rigidity of the body and suspension. Front, as usual, independent, MacPherson strut. The front-wheel-drive vehicles have a torsion beam at the rear, and all-wheel-drive vehicles have a De Dion-type suspension. This design, among other things, provided a low floor height and allowed to maximize the internal space. Disc brakes (ventilated front), power steering. The length, width and height of the minivan are 4630, 1695 and 1770 mm. Regarding its predecessor, it is minus 45 mm in length and minus 75 mm in height. The wheelbase has increased by 50 mm - up to 2855 mm, while maintaining the same turning radius of 5.3 m. Interior dimensions: 2775 x 1505 x 1350 mm. For comparison, the second-generation machine had internal dimensions of 2800 x 1570 x 1350 mm. Seated on the second row has more legroom, and the presence of two sliding doors simplifies the landing and transportation of goods. But a flat berth with the seats folded will now fail. In the third generation, Honda Stepwgn will offer many modern security systems, some of which are used for the first time. For example, the IHCC system, that is, an automatic cruise control that allows you to monitor the distance to the vehicle in front. An anti-skid VSA system was also offered for the car to ensure stability. As standard, all cars are equipped with two airbags (side - optional), ABS, EBD and braking assistance systems.  The new Stepwgn is characterized by further improvement in driving performance. As the creators of the car themselves noted, they managed to combine the benefits of the comfort of a minivan with the driving characteristics of a sedan. No less important was the increase in security. As for the reviews of Russian owners, in addition to the advantages already mentioned, they highly appreciate the car for its spaciousness and equipment, and as the disadvantages they call low clearance, stiffer suspension, and a weak base engine. In addition, unlike previous generations, the salon is not so convenient in terms of transformation.
