HONDA has effectively slashed £3,000 from the price of the Shuttle people carrier and added a new entry level version.

The move to introduce a new £17,995 LS version repositions the Shuttle at the heart of mainstream MPV market in response to the huge increase of people carriers now available. Both powered by a 2.2 16-valve engine, the new Shuttles have automatic transmission, ABS, twin airbags and air conditioning as standard.
