2007 Honda Stream Interior Photos
[ UPDATE: The new 2007 Honda Stream has been launched in Malaysia. Click here for prices and details. ]
I’ve posted about the new second generation 2007 Honda Stream last month, but the photos were of the exterior, without any shots of the interior. I’ve gotten hold of three interior shots of the 2007 Honda Stream, so check them out after the jump!

A very nice interior with typical MPV design cues such as having the shift lever on the dashboard instead of between the two front seats. Some have speculated that the new 2007 Honda Stream would have the same Multiplex dashboard meter layout as the 2006 Honda Civic, since it does share the same platform but it looks like the new Stream takes on a more conservative meter layout. But the steering wheel is similiar to the three spoke design used on the 2006 Honda Civic.
There are two colour schemes shown here, one is a mix of dark colours like black and grey, and the other one is a cream and grey colour scheme. It’s safe to presume that likely that the darker shade is for the higher end sporty model which comes with a bodykit and an R20A 2.0 liter SOHC i-VTEC engine and a bodykit (from the previous interior photos), while the cream interior is for the lower end model equipped with an R18A 1.8 liter SOHC i-VTEC engine which made it’s debut in the 2006 Honda Civic 1.8S. The R20A is basically a stroked version of the R18A, with typical fuel saving and good low end torque characteristics. It’s said that the R20A will have a CVT gearbox option, but if you look at the photo of the dashboard meter and steering wheel, you’ll see that the RS-Z model (noted by the letters RS-Z in red on the steering wheel) has paddle shifts and the gear shift says “D, S” instead of “D, 2, 1″. So we know the Stream RS-Z will be getting a 5-speed automatic with manual paddle shifting option. Perhaps a CVT will be one of the transmission options too, but these are just speculation.
The 2007 Honda Stream will make it’s debut on the 13th July 2006 according to Honda Japan’s website. You can expect Honda Malaysia to update it’s local range with this new second generation Stream soon, as they need to compete with the Toyota Wish which UMW Toyota has recently started bringing in officially.

oOO very nice,
July 9, 2006 @ 12:37 am
wow!! honda seems to be very outstanding wif its new models…good job
July 9, 2006 @ 12:53 am
If Jap’s interior is going these direction… it wont be long before those drab, briefcase-like European interiors were ousted. These… looked so appropriate in 2006 !!
July 9, 2006 @ 12:54 am
Actually paul, D S would be CVT (do have a look at the City/Jazz) whereas D 2 1 would be confirmed non-CVT - either a 4-speed or 5-speed auto but i think the latter is more likely
July 9, 2006 @ 12:55 am
Oh yeah, one more, any int pics of the CRV or press pics for the CRV? Not those spyshots…
July 9, 2006 @ 1:01 am
very nice exterior, very nice interior, wierd & fugly dashboard
July 9, 2006 @ 1:06 am
altruis: yes, but the 5-speed auto on the civic 2006 is D, S as well!
July 9, 2006 @ 1:24 am
frankly speaking, toyota’s wish looks so lady-like, while this new steed from honda seems to be the real one which will draw some serious attention from our local market… check out the RSZ, a definite winner… as a matter of fact, being an owner of a civic RS makes me dying to have my hands on this one…
that is, if i can afford one, haha! hhmm, any hints on the otr here paul?
July 9, 2006 @ 3:23 am
i take my hats off for this model. profile very similar to a estate something more like a merc B class. i notice it has some ques from the oddessy/civic.positions in the interior just magic. i wish HM bring in the model with black tone interior. the beige will just fade and get dirty fast unless ur married to the car for the rest of ur lives!! i would defintely look forward to this model. i like the mask they plug onto the body. look awesome and the head/tail lights are beautiful.
i heard the CVT just consume more fuel than the 5-speed tranmission. but its saves on maintainace. i think it might upset those who are opting the new accord buyers. if the price is right i might just grab one in near future..just hope its not to pricey than the toyota wish.
never know family obligations when my old fooks retire from driving.well for ur info.. iam not married yet or anytime soon but it will be a great buy for those are planning a family.
July 9, 2006 @ 3:55 am
well although im not a toyota fan i think they got the idea of an mpv a lil more clearer…while NUTSABOUTCARS was rite that the wish does look more tailored for the fiminine…frankly speakin..how many of us dudes actually drive this cars except on that odd holiday down the road….this are the chariots of soccer moms and yes…it has to have a femine touch to it in someway…mpv’s can look bold and the stream does look up to the notch..but the sales of these mpv’s always or most of the time has to get a yes from our female counterparts….
July 9, 2006 @ 5:18 am
what are the two round things on either side of the steering?
July 9, 2006 @ 10:48 am
tbcheese: those are air cond vents. I’ve updated the post with larger photos, you can click on the smaller ones to see the larger photos. the toyota rav4 2nd gen and the toyota celica had similiar vents.
July 9, 2006 @ 12:47 pm
i think the wish has bodykits to kill its feminine looks. i kinda like the 2.0 bodykit.it looks macho and it got the extra power. currently the wish look much better than the stream. another thing, the gar lever looks like a joystick in a fighter plane. cool eh!
July 9, 2006 @ 1:43 pm
Whoa, the dashboard design is amazing. Seems like now they’re using blue color for their latest models. Maybe… I need to wait… before I buy that Honda City… heh. But their upcoming Jazz and CR-V models were disappointing.
July 9, 2006 @ 3:02 pm
Hey, this article made it to www.autoblog.com They have a link to see the pics…
July 9, 2006 @ 3:45 pm
da interior like da civic oni .
sth fresh pls !
July 9, 2006 @ 5:46 pm
I see. Thanks Paul. I just feel its weird to have 2 different styles of air vents
July 9, 2006 @ 6:03 pm
very nice int…but not as nice as the mazda 5…better than this,,,
btw…talk abt toyota wish…does anyone know that wish 2.0 got problem with its gearbox???i dunno…i jz heard it frm 3 to 4 wish 2.0 owners…jz want to confirm if all wish 2.0 got a similar prob or not??korang ade dgr x psl nie??paul??
July 9, 2006 @ 8:51 pm
walau eh…
Honda like Bertubi-tubi launch new model in Bolehland….
unlike proton….sekali setahun….
you think this is annual celebration,is it???!!
#@@#^%#$^
as we continue to suffer…
July 9, 2006 @ 8:51 pm
hmm… quite a nice interior… its got the civic’s steering wheel and the air vents in the center remind me of the proton wira’s. the meter panel seems simple and nice to look at and overall, the interior looks very pleasant and comfortable. honda did a good job by designing the dashboard to look more like a sedan’s rather than one of an mpv. nice. oh, anybody know when it’s gonna hit malaysian shores?
July 9, 2006 @ 10:00 pm
fookeatmin1989: they’re launching it in Japan on 13 July, not in malaysia!
July 9, 2006 @ 11:39 pm
what if toyota simply retaliate with a 20mm longer caldina gt-4, 7 seats? this stream would still make it like the rest of hondas…. being second. hehe…
July 10, 2006 @ 1:38 am
very simple design, i like the older one…
but interior, haha,
i like it…
but dun how the stream price will go on?????
can some body tell me????
July 10, 2006 @ 2:23 am
what if……what if honda throw in the 2.4L ivtec or 3.0 v6 vtec into this machine? it will surely fly
July 10, 2006 @ 2:48 am
hmm. almost sexy looking. but the buttons look kinda clumsy.
how’d you get your hands on these photos?
July 10, 2006 @ 8:51 am
Well I don’t think the buttons are clumsy though… Like the blue meter lights.. cool. Well, I think we’re not gonna get any screens in the middle when launched in Malaysia right? ya… strange that got 2 kinds of air-con vents in it… why is it designed like that? no comments for others.
something outta topic… everyone seen Porsche GT1 yet? www.autoblog.com has it.
July 10, 2006 @ 9:07 am
lainie: some wonderful screenshot and jigsaw puzzle assembly work from honda’s unfriendly flash-based navigation
July 10, 2006 @ 10:05 am
looks like they took the design cue from the edix for the side profile and odyssey for the front, a very good effort i must say. int., a bit unadventurous but soothing. like the blue hue a la VW. hope it drives well. if it does, this could be an option. wife likes the wish but the toyota’s int plastic always put me off, feels cheap unlike honda’s.
July 10, 2006 @ 2:06 pm
Awesome man! But I’d like a little body-couloured panels bilaterally flanking the grille - ala the Jap Civic vs USDM civic - for a little cleaner design here.
Btw, any view of the rear?
July 10, 2006 @ 2:17 pm
pirate: view of the rear here

for a first time c the interior…looks good…but…more i c it…looks boring…i mean the center console looks boring…hhmm…y ar??
July 11, 2006 @ 9:34 am
The D and S may not be a good indicator of what transmission will be used since in City and Jazz, both use D and S. Similar to the 2.0 civic where they use D and S there as well. But the D and S could indicate a that there will be a feature to control the gear manually. That’s for sure.
So whether it is a CVT or 5A/T, well, maybe I’ll choose a CVT instead. Even though the Stream seems be to be sharing the same platform as the Civic, stream is design as people mover and good FC. I guess that is why the engine for the 2.0 is a R series rather than K series. Anyway CVT uses in City and Jazz are different than the one use in the Odyssey. CVT in City/Jazz is using start clutch vs the one in Odyssey is Torque Converter. How much a CVT with TC vs a 5A/T is a question. But the amount of ratio available in CVT should giving a better comfort and smoothness though.

hi guys! got something to share. i’ve previously drove myself the toyota wish, been driven in the old-version stream… and FINALLY, here is my personal experience inside the new stream which was launched yesterday (July-13th) in
japan (sorry, static only, no dynamics). i’ll try to be as transparent as possible in order to be fair to other makes also.
the car was a red RSZ, just like the pic up there. first impression when seen under bright daylight? it was just awesome. remember the time when you know you’ve scored in SPM and was about to open the result slip? that was the thing i felt… knowing the new stream as a good car was one thing, seeing it by my own eyes and touching everything was another heart-throbing experience.
sleek headlights, grey-smoked tails, aerodynamic wiper blades, low mid-floor, super-cool alloy wheels, to name a few… outside, this stallion passed all of my criterias for a new thoroughbred from honda. everybody knows that us malaysians don’t go for stationwagons, but this babe is definitely not categorized as one. you know that they have somehow failed in the new crv’s smiley grille, but this car, you would surely want to show to the others. trust me… i do.
ok let’s go inside. of course, what do you do when you want to check the inner cabin? some would sit on the driver’s bucket to have a glimpse on the instrument panel, but for me, i went straight to the build quality. RSZ goes with black interior, just like its predecessors. so what do you expect from a black door trim? cheap plasticky material? wrong. knocking on them resulted in a thud-thud sound, not the normal kong-kong… black suede fabric is kinda soft for a racer though, but magically it doesn’t kill the theme at all. too bad that the switch panel looks a bit outdated, as opposed to it’s cool instrument panel. i’ll go to that later… all in all, personally i’d judge the door trim as a 6.0 (max is 10).
hhmm, i’d definitely like to continue, but i need to fill my empty stomach now. will write again tonight! watch out…
for a glimpse, next i’ll tell you guys regarding it’s seats, av gadgets, luggage compartment, head clearance, etc… haiyaaa, got many things to write but my perut won’t let me so. see ya again!

I’ve driven the wish too in 1.8 though and the stream in 1.7……have to say the stream fit my driving style more than the Wish, that means sporty revving engine, great handling in high speed corners, and the VTEC engine feels like a turbo when it kicks in…….’Sporty’ in the Wish only on the looks, it ends there……the wish engine dislikes to be pushed hard, which i found it to be the characteristics of all VVTI engine….from driving my sisters ’s 2.4 L Estima the old and even the new so called ‘advanced VVTI’ in the new estima( my god it cost her 320K for a 2.4l MPV!!!)…..the same feeling also in Vios and Avanza……
Can’t wait for the new stream’s coming in R20 with improvements for torque in all 3 stage low,mid and high’ range, stiffer frame, longer wheelbase(means better handling), lower height, wider interior, stiffer suspension with a side-force cancellation spring in the front suspension, rear anti roll bar, reduced body frame weight by 10 kg and reduction of 70 kg of the R20 engine compared to K20 and lastly, the forte of Honda- the CVT 7 speed transmission produces smooth transmission( not even the rm320K estima feels as smooth as a 7 speed Honda Jazz CVT…..)…..we’ve got a ‘race’ midi MPV in the making……

[…] One major change with this new model is the adoption of the new R-series engine instead of the 2nd generation K-series engine. From the B20, to the K20, and now the R20. The R20 engine is also featured in the new 2nd generation Honda Stream, and is basically a long stroke version of the R18 engine that made it’s debut in the 2006 Honda Civic 1.8 liter model. The R20 is a SOHC i-VTEC engine, making 150PS at 6,200 rpm and 190Nm of torque at 4,200rpm. The engine is particularly fuel saving at cruising speeds because of Honda’s use of a drive-by-wire throttle. During low load conditions, the pumping losses caused by the small throttle butterfly opening are avoided by letting the throttle butterfly open wider than it normally would. To offset the larger amount of air coming in, the intake valve timing is delayed. This reduces pumping losses up to 16 percent. More details on the Honda R-Series engines here. The 2.2 liter turbodiesel i-CTDi engine makes 140PS. Transmission options are either a 6-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic. There was a CVT option to pair with the R20 engine in the Stream, but it was for front wheel drive applications only. […]

As we all know, the Honda Stream 1.7 is slow to pick up due to lack of power. Just wondering the new Honda Stream 1.8X faces the same problem.
February 4, 2007 @ 5:50 pm
I bought the Stream RSZ in December without having physically veiwing on the car. Now, after driving for a month plus, I can only say that I have no regret to own it. She is a beautiful car with sporty look. More to my surprise, the interior is beautiful as well. Too even more surprise is its road handling. She can do a 90 deg turn at 50 - 60 km/h without any feeling that the car is going to flip over (with the original suspension). I always feel that the torque coming continuously when the accelerator is being depressed gradually. Well, she is beautiful, looks as well as performance. No regret!

Hi Paul
It’s been a year since the launch of this new Stream. Your pictures have had me drooling and waiting patiently… any idea when it will be sold in Malaysia?
July 24, 2007 @ 2:05 pm
I had the opportunity to test drive the new 2007 form climax stream 2.0 RSZ with CVT (manual paddle included at the steering) here in hamamatsu..
sorry to say i havent got any pictures to prove it.. but first impression testing it.. its felt like driving a sedan (the seat and front veiwing is low like cars) and for the seat the RZS has a bucket like feel on the body…
the illuminated panel are only glow when u switch on the lights so in midday its just white as conventional car (not like the new odessey which give u the self illuminated panel)
as for the fuel consumption… for the CVT equipped streams.. 2.0 gives about 14.6 km/l for CVTand 13.4km/l for 5-speed AT
while 1.8 gives about 14.8km/l for 5 speed AT
well the engine is SOHC i-VTEC only for both variants…
