General Information
As the first generation of the 'J Mover' Series, the Honda Capa was developed on the Honda Logo platform. Its concept was based on a 'Small is Smart' way of thinking. Ease of use in everyday life, compactness, lightness and friendliness to the environment were some of the criteria built into the design. The proposal was that the Capa was to be 'Joyful' however this translates better as 'fun.' It was one class larger than the kei sized Honda Life, but smaller than the subcompact sized, Honda CR-V, built on the Honda Civic platform, and reflected the growing popularity of MPV/SUV/minivan vehicles.
The Honda Capa was designed with the intention of creating a car that was to be the best size for town driving. A car that could seat your family, with ample height for headroom and plenty of legroom considering its compact nature. To achieve this feat, Honda design the chassis based on a 'dual deck package.'
The Honda Capa is equipped with a 1500 cc single-overhead-cam 4-valve inline four-cylinder D15B engine. It was initially offered with Honda's Multimatic continuously variable transmission (CVT), but following an update, a 4-speed automatic transmission option was introduced as a cheaper option.
