The Honda Urban EV Concept Is a Modern Take on a Retro-looking Car
Honda’s tiny Urban EV Concept Car is possibly one of the most talked-about cars revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show. While the high-tech vehicle is equipped with modern technology, it has a distinct boxy, vintage feel and is reminiscent of the Volkswagen Golf Mk1.
Here’s a closer look at what this EV looks like:

The concept model features rear-hinged doors and screens both inside and outside of the vehicle, which can even be used to display images and messages on the outside of the car. While these features might not all make it to production, the car is destined to hit the conveyer belt by 2019, according to Honda’s CEO, Takahiro Hachigo. You very well might encounter the Urban EV Car during your future career as an auto service advisor!
