The next concepts shown were two ground-based EVs, with the first to appear looking a lot like the e:N2 Concept. Set under the brand’s e:N Series of EVs, the concept is designed with sharp character lines – ideal for increasing electric range through aerodynamic efficiency.
The other EV had a more familiar Honda styling reminiscent of the Prologue. Honda only addressed the concept as a “fictional vehicle,” though we can see it coming with an illuminated “K9” badge below the camera-based side mirror. The concept had no grille, so it is undeniably a possible future EV model.
All these concepts wouldn’t be possible without Honda’s early green campaign. The automaker was the first to meet strict emission standards in the US with the CVCC engine in the 1975 Honda Civic. Two decades later, Honda introduced the 1999 Insight to the US market, beating the segment-popular Toyota Prius to a hybrid offering.
