The Honda Acty is a series of pickup trucks and minivans from Honda, made for the Japanese market. They are keicars, with very small overall dimensions, and a very small engine displacement (currently around 660cc). They are designed to be economical, agile work vehicles, and generally lack creature comforts, though air conditioning is available as an option.
The base price of the pickup model is 756,000 yen as of February 2006. The base model is mid-engine, rear drive. Four-wheel drive is available as an option on some models, making the Acty one of a handful of mid-engine, AWD vehicles. (Most other vehicles with that layout are supercars.)
The Acty is powered by a 12-valve straight-3 gasoline engine making 34 kW (45.5 hp) at 5500 rpm and 60 Nm (37 ft·lb) at 5000 rpm.
- In the film Battle Royale, Shinji Mimura builds a truck bomb with an Acty pickup truck, but fails when he is killed by Kazuo Kiriyama.
- In the comedy "Mr Jolly Lives Next Door" (produced by the Comic Strip) Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson drive around, usually paralytic, in a pink Honda Acty.
- The Acty was sold on the Australian market in 1982. However it was not sold in Sydney, as Honda believed the vehicle would not be powerful enough to cope with Sydney's hilly terrain.
