What is the Honda Stream?
The Honda Stream is a compact people carrier with a low, streamlined shape. Its three rows of seats give it room for seven, while its lower profile sets it apart from taller, boxier minivans. Honda presented it as a practical family vehicle with a more car-like feel.
In the UK, the Stream was listed from 2001 to 2004 with petrol engines ranging from 1.7 L to 2.0 L. It offered families extra seats and a flexible cabin in a relatively low-slung package.
Generations and design
The UK Stream belongs to the first generation, associated with the RN1, RN2, RN3, RN4 and RN5 codes. Honda introduced it as a seven-passenger compact MPV, with three rows of seats and a low floor that helped keep the cabin airy despite the car’s sleek shape.
Honda’s design brought MPV flexibility together with the proportions of a passenger car. The result was a family vehicle with a lower stance than a conventional high-roof people carrier.
Engines and fuel consumption
UK versions used petrol engines from 1.7 L to 2.0 L. The lowest stated official fuel consumption is 7.7 L/100 km on the NEDC test, the European procedure used for these figures.
NEDC results come from a laboratory test, so real-world consumption can vary with the car and driving conditions.
Where was the Honda Stream sold?
In the UK, the Stream was listed from 2001 to 2004. Honda also introduced it in Japan as a compact seven-seat minivan, part of the company’s work on practical, space-efficient cars.
