The Honda N-WGN (Japanese: ホンダ・N-WGN, Hepburn: Honda Enuwagon) is a kei car produced by Honda for the Japanese market. Together with the N-Box, N-One and N-Van,[1] is part of the renewed N lineup of kei class city cars from Honda. The "N" prefix was previously used for the late 1960s and 1970s N360; originally it stood for norimono which loosely translates to vehicle. For the new N lineup, the "N" represented New, Next, Nippon, and Norimono.[2]

The N-WGN was first announced on 26 September 2013.[3] The teasers of the car were revealed on 21 October 2013.[4] The car went on sale on 22 November 2013.[5] An innovative feature was the sliding rear seat, which could be moved 200 mm (7.9 in) longitudinally, allowing users to choose whether to allocate more space for luggage or passengers. Both engines feature idling-stop.[6]
The initial range consisted of the standard N-WGN G model, also available with the better equipped Anshin Package or the Turbo Package or. The sportier N-WGN Custom lineup mirrored the regular line.[6] Later, the Anshin Package was replaced by the G-L Package, joined by the Stylish Package. In July 2015, a decontented, lower-priced variant called the N-WGN C was introduced, only available in three colours.[7] In July 2016, the N-WGN was facelifted and given a more traditional, body-coloured grille with two horizontal bars. The N-WGN Custom also received a new grille with two bars, as well as an additional chrome strip along the top.

A facelifted model went on sale on 22 September 2022.[11] This marked the end of the turbocharged engine option for the regular N-WGN; this is now restricted to the N-WGN Custom model. External differences were limited to the Custom model, which received a new grille with a honeycomb element, and a new alloy wheel design. The two-tone color scheme which had been available on the N-WGN L was discontinued, while the side marker lights on the L were moved from the fenders into the rear view mirrors.
