1996 Honda Orthia GX 4WD

The 1996 Honda Orthia 2.0GX 4WD represents one of Honda’s most practical and versatile long-roof wagons from the mid-1990s—made even more desirable by its rare factory two-tone purple color, an exclusive GX trim finish that truly sets this example apart from the typical Orthia. The unique color combination gives the car a distinct presence, especially paired with its clean body lines and well-preserved condition. With just 68k miles, it reflects the careful use typical of lightly driven Japanese-market vehicles. This is a GX trim, a higher-spec model that comes well-equipped from the factory. It features roof rails, bumper-mounted fog lights, GX-exclusive interior and trim accents, factory rain guards, original front bug guard, and a GX trim rear spoiler with integrated third brake light—all details that elevate both functionality and appearance. Sitting on four brand new all-season tires, it’s ready for immediate daily use in any condition. Powered by a reliable 2.0L Honda engine paired to an automatic transmission and a proven full-time 4WD system, the Orthia delivers smooth, predictable performance with confident traction in rain, gravel, and mixed terrain. It shares drivetrain architecture with the 4WD Honda CR-V, making parts availability and servicing straightforward and cost-effective. It’s also impressively efficient, achieving 30+ MPG on the highway, making it an ideal all-purpose vehicle. Designed to handle all seasons—rain, sleet, snow, or summer heat, this Orthia blends capability with practicality. The factory roof rails allow for easy mounting of roof baskets, kayaks, cargo boxes, or even rooftop tents, expanding its usability for both work and recreation. Inside, the cabin reflects Honda’s signature ergonomic simplicity, with excellent visibility and ease of use. Features include air conditioning, power steering, and power windows, while the spacious rear cargo area makes it perfect for transporting gear, packages, or daily essentials. For anyone seeking a dependable, fuel-efficient, and uniquely styled JDM wagon, this rare two-tone GX Orthia 4WD stands out. With low mileage, desirable factory upgrades, CR-V-based reliability, and true all-weather capability, it’s a well-rounded vehicle that’s equally suited for daily driving, outdoor use, or collector appeal.
