Overview

The Honda N-Van (stylized as "Honda N-VAN") is a microvan produced by Honda for the Japanese market since 2018. Initially only available with a petrol-powered internal combustion engine, a battery electric variant was introduced in 2024. The origin for the vehicle's name expresses "next generation light van" proposed by N series as see in the N-One, N-Box, and N-WGN: it is part of a renewed line-up of Kei class city cars. The "N" prefix was previously used for the late 1960s and 1970s N360; originally it stood for norimono which loosely translates to vehicle. For the new N lineup, the "N" represented New, Next, Nippon, and Norimono.

Variants

There were initially [https://www.honda.co.jp/N-VAN/webcatalog/type/list/ four trim variations] available for the Honda N-Van, the L, G, +Style Cool and +Style Fun. The +Style Cool model omits the raised roof, for a 1,850 mm height instead of the 1,950 mm height on the other models. The +Style Cool was discontinued in February 2021. All models are available with a choice of FWD or AWD drivetrain and a choice of CVT transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission.

Safety equipment and driving support

For safety performance, the driving support system "[https://www.honda.co.jp/N-VAN/webcatalog/performance/?from=car_footer#active-safety Honda SENSING]" was standard equipment in the +STYLE COOL and +STYLE FUN trims.

Standard equipment for the +STYLE FUN Turbo

Of all the variants, the +STYLE FUN Turbo is the highest trim available. For driving support functions, it is equipped with a round full LED headlight (projector type with manual leveling and auto light control mechanism). The LED fog lamp also comes with a chrome trim. For safety equipment, i-SRS airbag system is offered for both the driver and front passenger.

06 Buyer's guide

Who it suits

  • Families, groups and shuttle work: the people-carrier body is built around seating and access.

Check before you buy

  • Ask for a battery state-of-health report: the traction battery is the main value driver in a used hybrid or electric car. Battery SOH tool
  • Ask for service records: turbocharged engines are sensitive to oil changes and cool-down habits.
  • Test the four-wheel-drive system (transfer case, differentials) and look for uneven tyre wear.
  • Read the auction sheet grade and notes, and verify the odometer against service and inspection records. How to read an auction sheet
