The Honda Stream is a compact MPV manufactured by the Japanese automaker Honda since 2000. For Japan it gets gasoline direct injection 1.7 L and 2.0 L engines with improved fuel efficiency. It was facelifted in January 2004.

Its shape is a mix of a compact MPV and a station wagon; its height (1.55 m) makes it hard to classify it precisely. Handling characteristics are more like a "hot"-hatchback than any other comparable compact MPV.

A second generation 2007 model has been officially presented on the 13th July 2006.

The 1st generation Honda Stream was a response to the sale success of the contemporaries like Mazda Premacy which released earlier. It was largely based on the Civic, with the same flat chassis but added 100mm in length to accommodate the third row of seats. Honda described it as a sporty 7-seater.

The Honda Stream was available with a 1.7l D17 engine and a 2.0l K20, equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission and a 5-speed automatic transmission with sequential mode respectively. A manual version was also offered in the UK.
