Honda Urban EV Concept is one of the concept cars that we like, either while looking at the photos or look directly at the Tokyo Motor Show yesterday. This electric car is wrapped with Retro philosophy, but the innards of modern electric machines. His retro inspiration was the first generation Honda Civic, and the response was excellent. Most are more interested in concept design than technology and all that.
Well, reasonable, because Honda is reluctant to reveal details of the electric engine Honda Urban EV when exhibited. At the Geneva Motor Show 2018 Press Conference, Honda announced that Honda Urban EV mass-production version can be ordered in early 2019. In addition to Europe, this car will also enter the Japanese market in 2020.
Philip Ross, Senior Vice President of Honda Motor Europe said,
"To respond to positive feedbacks on this model, we began to open the Urban Urban EV reservations in early 2019 and start the production process by the end of 2019."
Honda Urban EV will be assembled at Honda Automobile R & D Center , Wako and built on a special platform electric car, so that engineers can more freely set the layout of components such as electric motors, batteries and others.
According to Autocar, Honda Urban EV will be simplified when sold later. For example, if the Honda Urban EV Concept is designed as a 4-seater, the production version will be configured 5-seater. Large long screen that served as the instrument panel and the center of the information system that will also be replaced with more conventional instrument panel and head unit. Ehem, if the screen can kayak new A-Class is still cool you know.
Fortunately, the same source conveys that the exterior shape cultivated will not change much. Obviously, the shape of a car like this would be very interesting on the road, let alone create a city car. We still hope suicide door from the concept version is also maintained, because it is really unique. What's the opinion? Convey in the comment field!
