The new Stepwagon has started to receive pre-orders at Honda Cars dealers nationwide. The photo is SPADA, but what will happen to the rival new model Noah/Voxy!?
The early model of the predecessor Stepwagon purchased by Mr. Kunizawa appeared in 2015. After this, it will undergo a major facelift at the Big My Chain that will be implemented in 2017.
Strangely enough, Gachinko's rival, the new Noah (including the Voxy below) and the new Stepwagon appeared at "almost" the same time. First of all, if you look at the sales volume of the conventional type here, Noah's overwhelming victory! In 2021, the Noah will have 126,780 units, while the Step Wagon will have 39,247 units, which is one-third. On the other hand, when evaluating the hardware of the car, I think the Step Wagon was overwhelmingly superior. I actually bought it too. "What was good about the previous step wagon?" The ADAS performance is overwhelmingly a step wagon. The predecessor Noah, until the end, the ADAS sensor uses an infrared laser + low resolution camera two generations ago system, a type that can not detect pedestrians. Since the Stepwgn is a one-generation system that uses radar and cameras, it also automatically brakes pedestrians. Even with adaptive cruise control, the step wagon is overwhelmingly dominant. When comparing the hardware aspects, the Step Wagon was the winner in all areas such as power performance, ride comfort, handling, etc., excluding practical fuel consumption. That's why I chose the Stepwagon without hesitation, thinking that I was an expert.
