History of the Honda Capa
When it debuted in 1998, the Honda Capa was a 5-door hatchback-style minivan from the J-Mover family of small automobiles. It first appeared at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show and was manufactured by Japanese carmaker Honda. The Capa's name is derived from the English term 'capacity,' which denotes both capability and ample interior space. In honor of the car's boxy form, Honda gave the moniker "Boxy" to it. Design features include a double-bottomed hull, a roomy cabin for five people, and a small exterior size. After introducing the "Capa" model in 1999, it was also available with an all-wheel drive. The Honda Capa's front end underwent modest updates in 2000. In addition, this model included a wide variety of dodger choices like the bumper, aprons, and many more.
Price
Honda retailed the Honda Capa with an original MSRP of $10,077 for the starting price and $13,415 for the higher trim levels.
