For 2004, just three years after its introduction, the Stream has been visually updated to keep the car looking sharp and fresh. It features a heavily restyled front end, including a new bumper, air dam, headlights and grille.

The grille is now a broad twin opening with a thick single slat running horizontally, similar to the recently face-lifted North American Civic, only larger. A restyled headlight cluster featuring two sets of projection beam lamps can be found at either side, while a muscular front air dam sits underneath. Around back, the Stream features revised taillights, and rather than the usual integrated reverse lights it features rear fog lamps for improved visibility.
To accompany the exterior updates, Honda has altered the Stream's interior. The second row of seats has been split up, no longer a bench but rather a set of captain's chairs. The third row of seats now tumbles into the floor similar to the brand's full-size Odyssey, allowing for a truly flat cargo area.
Drivers will appreciate the new instrumentation package, featuring black dials highlighted with red needles and lights.
Honda states that the 2004 Stream will arrive in showrooms around Europe this January, but just when and if the Japanese brand decides to bring it to North America is unknown.
