Engine and Performance
The N-Van uses the 658 cc S07B three-cylinder, a design related to the engine in the Honda S660. Kei rules cap output, so the naturally aspirated version makes 53 PS and the turbo makes 64 PS.
The turbo has far more torque, 104 Nm against 64 Nm, which matters when the van is fully loaded or climbing hills. Honda lists the +Style Fun Turbo at 18.8 km/L on the WLTC cycle, roughly 5.3 L/100 km.
Dimensions and Cargo Space
The N-Van is tiny on the outside and tall on the inside. The cargo floor sits about 525 mm off the ground and the load area is about 1,365 mm high.
- Low, flat floor: the fuel tank is under the front seats, which keeps the loading area clear.
- No centre pillar: the passenger-side door opening and sliding door give a very wide gap for loading.
- Height: 1,950 mm on most trims, and 1,850 mm on the +Style Cool, which is no longer sold.
Trims and Safety
The petrol range has been sold as L, G, +Style Fun and the discontinued +Style Cool, with +Style Fun Turbo at the top. Collision mitigation braking is standard across the range, while Honda Sensing is listed as standard on the +Style trims. Equipment changes by model year, so confirm details with Honda Japan.
Honda N-Van e: Electric Version
The N-Van e: launched in Japan in the second quarter of 2024 in four variants: e:L4 and e:FUN for private buyers, and e:G and e:L2 for business leasing. The business models make 53 PS and the e:L4 and e:FUN make 64 PS.
It weighs 1,060 to 1,140 kg, with the battery under the floor and 13-inch wheels. Battery capacity, range and charging figures are not listed here, so check Honda Japan before relying on any numbers.
Can You Get One in Canada?
Not new. Because the N-Van went on sale in 2018, an import would not meet Transport Canada’s 15-year rule for a long time yet, so older kei vans are the realistic route for now. For similar Japanese-market oddities, see the Nissan S-Cargo specs and history, the Suzuki Mighty Boy specs and our Honda tuner specs guide.
