Honda Airwave Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2005–2008) — First Generation
The first-generation Honda Airwave combines a five-door estate body with powertrains suited to everyday driving. When choosing a version, consider how the transmission behaves and whether you need extra traction on slippery roads.
Among the Honda Airwave’s powertrain options are gasoline 1.5 CVT versions with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The continuously variable transmission adjusts its ratio without conventional gear changes, so engine revs can stay elevated during acceleration. All-wheel drive can help you pull away on slippery surfaces, but does not guarantee shorter braking distances.
