Honda Malaysia has unveiled its facelifted Stream RSZ, and the sporty seven-seater MPV has been given a dollop of items to make it an even sportier proposition.
No changes to the 1.8l i-VTEC engine or the five-speed automatic transmission, but there's now Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), and the suspension has been retuned to offer a firmer ride. Additionally, the exhaust also gets reworked, to offer a sportier note.

Primarily, the changes happen with the exterior - there's a new honeycomb front grille (with chrome floating garnish), new foglamps, a newly designed front bumper and side skirts as well as a new rear bumper/diffuser and a tailgate spoiler.


The tail lamp design has also been remodelled, with black garnish added to improve its visibility to the tailing motorist. A new 17-inch alloy wheel design completes the new list for the exterior.

Inside, refinements include a leather gear knob and steering wheel, which now has integrated audio controls, as well as sporty alloy pedals. The leather gear knob and steering wheel come with red stitching, and additional red cues can be found across the entire instrument panel, cup holders, and upholstery in the interior.
The facelifted Stream RSZ is available in four colour options, these being Premium White Pearl, Crystal Black Pearl, Polished Metal Metallic and New Passion Red Pearl. It is priced at RM158,980, on-the-road with insurance.
