About Honda Wagovan
The Honda Wagovan was one of the third-generation models of the Honda Civic series. The 5-door station wagon was prepared for the United States while being called the Shuttle in other countries' markets. The production of the first generation of the Honda Wagovan started in 1983 and ended in 1987 as a new generation arrived. It owned assembly lines all over the world with other body types including Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, South Africa, Taiwan, and Thailand. The Honda Wagovan shared many standard parts with its Civic siblings. The shared parts included a MacPherson strut suspension, front torsion bars, and a rear beam with coil springs.
The Honda Wagovan was given a 1590 cc ZC inline 4-cylinder engine which could produce 63 kW with 85 PS. The 1.5L engine parts had three valves per cylinder. The dashboard of the Honda Wagovan was also unique for being a pop-up set of vents that could be used or retracted into the dash. The wagon was designed in a very special way for its bodywork parts and interior parts. It had 50/50 split-folding cloth fixed rear seats that were all able to recline to 4 different positions, a vinyl single-piece rear seat that was capable of sliding forward in order to accommodate additional cargo and metal bars across the rear side windows for the same consideration. These gave the vehicle better performance and quality in holding more interior usable space as being a station wagon.

The Honda Wagovan was initially designed and marketed in a front-wheel-drive layout. The four-wheel-drive version of the model was introduced in 1985. This version of the Wagovan could be operated by a push button on the dash. The transmission parts also increased their choices by adding a low-speed granny gear. The low-speed transmission was only available for the four-wheel-drive version models. The ground clearance of the new-layout Honda Wagovan increased from 6.5 inches to 7 inches as the rear bumper of the Wagovan grew larger.
In 1987, the Honda Wagovan updated its push-button four-wheel-drive system with a new Real-Time four-wheel-drive system with an automatic viscous coupling unit. The coupling unit could shift power to the rear wheel automatically when it detected any need for the action. They had 67 individual friction plats that were surrounded by heat-sensitive silicon oil. This allowed the parts to distribute power to the rear drive shaft when something changed in both front and rear wheels.
