Honda
engineers are inspired by the most unexpected things.
The design of the Tourer was inspired by the falcon,
stretched aerodynamically in full flight. Might not be
as strange as it sounds. It’s
why the long rear quarter window of the Tourer tapers
to create such a powerful, poised silhouette.
It explains
why our designers took so much care perfecting the
Tourer’s distinctive headlights,
using the latest luminescent technology to give a pin sharp
view of the road. Why the Tourer’s grille is
distinctly V shaped, helping the air flow more smoothly,
boosting the aerodynamics and engine cooling. And why
the Tourer looks so sporty when it’s really a
versatile estate car with the biggest load capacity
in its class.
Sometimes a little inspiration can go
a long way.
If you’re a Honda engineer, a fraction of a
millimetre could make the difference between something
working ok or working perfectly. And that’s the
way we looked at every single part when we designed
the new Tourer.
It’s why our designers put so
much thought into the precise shape of the chrome door
handles. To make
sure they give a grip that is absolutely right. And
that’s why we took so much care perfecting
the smooth and uninterrupted character line from front
to back, to give the Tourer a real sense of purpose.
This even involved moving the indicators to the door
mirrors because that is the most visible place they
can be, improving safety.
At Honda, we believe that
taking care over the small, makes a huge difference
to the big. Drive the new Tourer
and you’ll see what we mean.
