FactHonda's first N-Box offered a wheelchair-access version within its first year on sale — and on that version alone, four-wheel drive came standard, not optional.
Unveiled on 27 October 2011 and launched in Japan on 30 November 2011 as a five-door kei minivan, the first of Honda's renewed "N" line (N-WGN, N-One, N-Van), replacing the Life and Vamos. The "N" originally stood for norimono, and for the new line for New, Next, Nippon and Norimono. The N-Box+ (from July 2012), based on the N Concept 3, has a slanted loading floor with a fold-out ramp, and a wheelchair-access model followed in August 2012 (4WD standard). The Modulo X arrived in December 2012 with a redesigned grille and front fascia and suspension lowered by 15 mm, FWD only. The N-Box Slash, a lower-roof version with hinged rear doors, was offered in December 2014–February 2020. Best-selling car in Japan for 28 consecutive months to December 2019.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
This Presage minivan shares its underlying platform with the Teana sedan and the North American Murano crossover — one architecture doing three very different jobs.
Subaru's family-hauling Exiga got an unlikely STi treatment in 2009 — front spoiler, sport muffler, tighter suspension and a leather Momo wheel — but only 300 were ever built.
YRV stands for Young Recreational Vehicle, a mini MPV built to out-handle its own segment rivals.
The Terraza was Buick's first-ever minivan for the North American market - a badge-engineered cousin of the Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Saturn Relay.
The restyled 1994 Lumina Minivan quietly made American automotive history: it was the first minivan sold in the US with a power sliding door you could open by remote.
The first-generation Lumina APV minivan was nicknamed the "Dustbuster" by the press for its sharply sloped windshield, which pushed the dashboard far forward of the driver.
Its steeply sloped windshield gave the Lumina APV one of the deepest dashboards ever fitted to a mass-produced car.
The first Presage wasn't really its own car underneath — most of its parts came straight from the Nissan R'nessa, with more shared with its platform twin, the Bassara.
