Honda N-Van

It was developed with the aim of "a new appearance" of light commercial vehicles in the fifth series of "N series" deployed starting with the first N-BOX released in November 2011. In addition to being the first commercial vehicle in the series, it is also a substantial successor to Acty van, Vamos, & Vamos Hobio which were previously sold.[1]

From the semi-cab overstyle Acty line, it adopts a tall wagon style based on the FF car platform developed at the second generation N-BOX. As a result, the length of the luggage compartment has been greatly reduced by comparison with Acty which had adopted the mid-ship engine layout (the luggage compartment length is 1,510 mm on the left side and 1,330 mm on the right side, shortening by 215–395 mm respectively). On the other hand, for the first time as a microvan, we adopted a "door-in-pillar structure" that eliminated the center pillar on the side of the passenger's side to improve usability in loading and unloading operations of long objects, etc. In addition, similar to the N-Box center tank layout By adopting a low floor by adoption, the cargo compartment height was expanded to 1,365 mm which was 165 mm higher than Acty van. In addition to the rear seat, a dive down mechanism is also adopted for passenger's seat, realizing a luggage room connected from the front passenger's seat to the rear seat/tailgate. It is also possible to load long objects.

The power unit is optimized for the "S07B" type common to N-BOX, taking into consideration the load imposed on the commercial vehicle and how it is used. In the NA engine, the maximum output · maximum torque is reduced by 4 kW (5 PS)/1 N·m (0.1 kgf·m) at the N-BOX ratio (the specification of the turbo engine is the same as N-BOX). In addition to setting all types of CVT (Honda is called "stepless speed automatic"), which is the first adoption in Honda's van. The vehicle equipped with NA engine and is a 6-speed manual, improved and based on S660.[2]

For safety performance, the safe driving support system "Honda SENSING" was standard equipped in all types. The collision mitigation brake (CMBS), the pedestrian accident reduction steering, the preceding vehicle departure notification function, the sign recognition function, the out-of-road departure suppression function are provided for all types, and only the "continuously variable transmission automatic" (CVT) Function, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping support system, backward erroneous departure suppression function are added. Also, auto high beams are added to all types of "N-VAN + STYLE".[3]
