Among the key Honda exhibits at the Tokyo Motor Show 2017 are:
Honda Urban EV Concept:
The Urban EV Concept made its first appearance in Japan at the Tokyo Motor Show 2017.
Built on a newly-developed dedicated EV platform, the Honda Urban EV Concept indicates the technology and design directions for Honda’s future mass-production EV models.
A new model based on this concept will go on sale first in Europe in 2019, and then in Japan in 2020.
Its simple design and compact proportions are ideal for modern city driving.
A communicative front grille displays battery charge status, driving advice and greetings in multiple languages, while the wrap-around interior display is supposed to inspire an emotive attachment with the driver.
