The Honda Airwave is unique station wagon with a lot of space inside. It’s designed with Honda’s special Center Tank Layout for efficiency. The interior is spacious which shows that comfort is their priority. The roomy trunk space can accommodate your luggage which is ideal for a family outing. The vehicle is powered with a 1.5L inline 4-cylinder engine. It’s running with continuosly variable transmission (CVT) which helps a lot in fuel efficiency. Choose between the two wheel drive (2WD) and the four wheel drive (4WD) model depending on your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Honda\u2019s Fit platform has been a big success.. I am not sure if everyone knows this, but the Honda Aria and the Honda Fit is basically the same platform, in a sedan and hatchback form respectively. The Aria is basically a Fit with a boot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fit platform has a Station Wagon form, the Honda Airwave.\u00a0The car is known as Fit Wagon in Japan. It was launched in April 2005 and ended in 2010.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fit chassis has been extended by quite a bit to convert it into a station wagon. It looks much like a miniature version of the Honda Stream.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

A sporty interior, very similar to the Honda Aria and Honda Fit interior. Expected since they come from the same platform.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Seats up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Seats down. The back can fit a bicycle standing up!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This is a clear view of the back of the wagon. I wonder if it could be converted into an MPV if you added extra seats at the back. Would be a good budget Honda MPV.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway let\u2019s get on to the technical specifications. The figures are very similiar to the Aria\/Fit.<\/span><\/p>\n
