The Honda That's (Japanese: ホンダ・ザッツ, Hepburn: Honda Zattsu) is a kei car manufactured by Honda between 2002 and 2007 for the Japanese market. The That's is based on the third-generation Honda Life kei car platform with a five-door "tall wagon" hatchback body, with considerable height.
The name "That's" was chosen in hope that the model could become a familiar car that makes people say "that's it!"[1]
Overview
The design of the That's was previewed by the Honda WIC ("What Is a Car") concept car at the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show in October.[1][2]
The That's went on sale in Japan on February 8, 2002 with a monthly sales plan of 6,000 units. It was exclusively available at the Honda Primo dealership chain.[3] It was available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, and it shares the Life's E07Zthree-cylinder inline, 656 cc engine, available in either naturally aspirated (38 kW (51 hp; 52 PS)) or turbocharged (47 kW (63 hp; 64 PS)) versions (the latter was dropped in 2006 with the arrival of the turbocharged Honda Zest). All versions only come with a three-speed automatic transmission.[4]
On October 15, 2004, Honda released a special version with a lower price. A minor facelift took place in 2006, with the facelifted That's debuting on March 22; at the same time, the turbocharged version was dropped.[4]
Production of the That's ended in September 2007.[4]
