Thanks to CarNewsChina, we now have our first look at the soon-to-be-introduced Honda Jade facelift. The MPV, which is based on the Stream platform, was first introduced in China in 2013, where it is manufactured by Dongfeng Honda.
The facelift includes a new bumper at the front, new fog lamp enclosures, along with a new grille, with the latter featuring a chrome element linking the headlamps. Elsewhere, the fog lamps now have rectangular chrome surround, rather than the trapezoidal one on the current model, and the door handles are body-coloured instead of chrome.
As for the rear, the Jade gets a new bumper, which accommodates two exhaust outlets with chrome surrounds. New alloy wheels round up the list of exterior changes we can see here.
In China, the Jade is offered with a 1.8 litre i-VTEC engine with 139 hp and 174 Nm of torque, which will likely to remain in service. A possible addition to the powertrain line-up is a 1.5 litre turbo (148 hp/203 Nm), as seen on the Japan-spec Jade RS.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Looks highly unlikely for this really good looking Honda people carrier to ever make it in Malaysia. What a loss. Bring it here lah Honda Malaysia. Even MI brought in the Levorg here knowing full well there is no market for wagons here.
already facelifted? still no plan for honda to replace the previous stream rsz for malaysia market?
New-gen Honda Stream arriving soon !
Sorry but the front looks lame, for me atleast
2016 and honda still recycle old design, look similar to honda jazz
Looks like CarNewsChina is the forefront news for car in China & M’sia. They are in the news bcos they make & sell more cars than the rest of Asia.
Most car manufacturers have to partner with local Chinese partner to make/sell their cars in order to gain a slice of the pie. Honda is no exception if they want a slice.
Judging from the picture, the Jade facelift looks like the Stream in the Japanese market. I have no doubt that the Facelift Stream will make it to M’sia soon & with the latest engine & lighting too.
