KatadataOTO – Honda Prospect Motor (HPM) has once again expanded its hybrid car lineup. The Japanese manufacturer is now marketing the Honda Step WGN e:HEV.
The hybrid-powered car was officially launched at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) 2025.
This product from the manufacturer with the upright H logo is claimed to have various advantages to offer consumers in the country.
The Honda Step WGN e:HEV is described as an urban family car. It offers efficiency, comfort, and practicality with more than 100 functional features.
"At Honda, the models we present don't just chase trends; we answer the real needs of consumers," said Yusak Billy, Sales & Marketing and After Sales Director of HPM at GIIAS 2025.
Billy stated that the Honda Step WGN e:HEV is designed not just as a means of transportation.
But also as a comfortable space for the entire family during a journey.
"We believe innovation is not about being the first, but about being the most relevant," Billy continued.
Regarding the appearance of the Honda Step WGN e:HEV, the four-wheeled vehicle features a boxy design typical of Japanese MPVs (Multi-Purpose Vehicles).
Additionally, its spacious cabin allows the owner to carry many passengers and goods.
Moving into the cabin, a premium feel is immediately apparent through the combination of leather and fabric materials, a dashboard with brushed aluminum accents, and warm cabin lighting.
There is also an eight-inch touchscreen head unit with smart device connectivity, Bluetooth, and six speakers ready to support entertainment needs.
For your information, the Honda Step WGN e:HEV is equipped with a 2,000 cc Atkinson-cycle DOHC i-VTEC engine. It is then paired with an electric motor.
The combination of the two can produce a maximum power of 184 hp and a peak torque of 315 Nm.
This powertrain is claimed to be sufficient to provide smooth yet powerful acceleration in various road conditions.
Making it more interesting, the hybrid system on the Honda Step WGN e:HEV has three driving modes.
