Honda Life (1998 to 2002)

Responding to new legislation, the 1998 Honda Life, chassis JB1, was bigger than its short lived second generation counterpart, in length as well as width. The car kept the same side panels, but the sheetmetal in between and the windshields were new, to take full advantage of the added available width. Honda introduced it on 8 October 1998, and sales began the next day. Length grew to 3,395 mm and width to 1,475 mm, the E07Z replaced the E07A engine, and SRS airbags became standard on the passenger seat too. In December 2000 a turbocharged variant named Honda Life Dunk was introduced. Each model year has its own page.
