FactWhile rival minivans hid the engine under the floor, Honda built the first Stepwgn on plain Civic mechanicals to keep costs down.
The first Stepwgn, shown at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show as the F-MX and on sale in Japan from 8 May 1996. Where most Japanese minivans then had the engine mounted under the cabin, it used a more conventional two-box layout based on the Civic to reduce costs, with a sliding door on the passenger side. To improve profitability there was only one engine and transmission option: a two-litre inline-four and a 4-speed automatic. ABS and dual airbags became standard in 1997.
