This new concept from Honda, the Urban EV, looks like something most automakers would show off as a distant vision of what cars might look like in five or ten years\u2019 time. Honda, however, says it\u2019s targeting a launch of the vehicle in European markets by 2019 \u2013 just two years from now.<\/p>\n
The EV Concept has a look seemingly inspired by hatchbacks from the 70s or 80s, including some of Honda\u2019s own early Civic models. The car is far from retro in other regards, however, including the displays front and back of the vehicle which show charging percentage and rates, as well as brand badging and other information, like greetings, \u201cadvice for other drivers on the roads\u201d and more.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Honda\u2019s EV Concept also has an expansive touchscreen display which spans nearly the entire interior dashboard, offering a view Honda describes as \u201cpanoramic.\u201d The screen even extends into the doors, and those display feeds from the car\u2019s two wing mirror cameras for checking the space around the vehicle.<\/p>\n

The vehicle is designed for maximum interior spaces given its small stature, however.<\/p>\n
Onboard intelligence is provided via Honda\u2019s Automated Network Assistant, which is designed to learn about a driver over time and then adapt that information in order to help provide info like routing recommendations or other tips intended to be customized to a driver\u2019s personal preferences.<\/p>\n
This is a very cool car, and one that I\u2019d love to see offered beyond European borders. Honda\u2019s also basing it on an entirely new, electric-specific platform, which is intended to help guide their EV strategy going forward.<\/p>\n
