Engine
Honda E07Z
- Displacement
- 0.66 L (656 cc)
- Configuration
- Inline-3, SOHC, 12-valve with PGM-FI (programmed fuel injection) and lean-burn technology
- Power / Torque
- 45 PS (utility spec) — 53 PS @ 7,000 rpm (higher-output spec) · 61 Nm (45 lb-ft) @ 4,000 rpm

Drivetrain
Across its trims, the Honda Acty HA9 is offered with the drivetrain systems below. Availability is trim-dependent — tap any one for a plain-language explainer of how it works and when to use it.
Note: HA9 is the 4WD fourth-generation Acty truck. 2WD is HA8.
Transmission
The Honda Acty HA9 is available with the transmission types below. Tap any one for a full guide including maintenance schedule and common issues.
Manual or automatic?
The manual gives you maximum power from the 660cc engine and is the only way to access diff-lock and low-range trims. The automatic trades some power for convenience. See manual vs automatic for which one you should choose.

- Eligibility
- Eligible from December 2034
Earliest examples eligible from December 2034 — 102 months away.
- Right-hand drive (RHD)
- AllowedNo federal ban on right-hand-drive vehicles. Most states allow RHD registration with no extra requirements. Confirm with your state DMV as a small number have local rules.
- Taxes
- Most kei trucks are classified as cargo trucks and attract the 25% "chicken tax" import duty on declared value; the 2.5% passenger-vehicle rate applies only if the vehicle is legitimately classified as such — a customs broker's determination, not a buyer's choice. There is no federal VAT or federal sales tax at the border. State sales/use tax and title & registration fees are charged at registration and vary by state. The 25-year rule exempts safety and emissions compliance but does NOT waive the import duty. Budget ocean freight, port-to-door transport, and the customs broker fee separately.
- Registration authority
- NHTSA and EPA handle federal import compliance. Individual state DMV handles title and registration.
