JAKARTA - PT Honda Prospect Motor (HPM) officially introduced the Step WGN model to the public in the country through the 2024 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS).

In Japan, this van-shaped car is a direct competitor to Toyota Vexy and Nissan Serena. Unfortunately, Step WGN will not be sold in Indonesia in the near future. However, the enthusiasm received by this car is quite large.

Of the nearly 1,000 respondents, 98 percent expressed their intention to buy at a varying price. 8 percent of them want to buy with IDR 700 million and above, 40 percent is in the range of IDR 650-699 million, and 24 percent is below it," said Sales & Marketing and After Sales Director of PT HPM Yusak Billy some time ago.

So, what do you think makes this car even more attractive and has the potential to become the prima donna of Honda vehicle lovers in Indonesia? The following reviews are based on VOI monitoring, during GIIAS 2024.

Design For Family

The Honda Step WGN displayed at GIIAS 2024 is designed for family needs combined with elements of luxury and courage.

This car has a more brain-brained design than his brother such as Freed or Odyssey, but is more minimal with spoilers up front and on both sides.

Wide Interior

Designed for family needs, the car has a spacious interior with some advanced features, such as an 11.4-inch floating infotainment screen that is claimed to be user friendly. Then, the car has a 15-inch screen for rear passengers attached to the middle row ceiling.

There is a captain seat on the second row of the interior which gives an exclusive, luxurious, and spacious impression. To pamper its users, Step WGN is given a foot support that is useful when on a long journey.

Mumpuni Hybrid Machine

This van is equipped with a 2.0 liter Atkinson-cycle 2.0 liter engine combined with a hybrid e:HEV system developed by Honda, so that it is able to emit up to 182 dk of power and the torque reaches 315 Nm.

The engine performance is combined with e-CVT transmission whose power is channeled to the front wheels. The manufacturer with the 'H' logo claims Step WGN has a fuel consumption capability of up to 20.3 km/liter.

The Honda Step WGN will not be sold in Indonesia, but this car is well received by the public. With the launch of Nissan Serena e-Power some time ago, it makes sense that HPM intends to send it to the Indonesian market.
