Honda reveals the EV-N concept at the Tokyo Motor Show

The EV-N is an all-electric small city car which Honda says creates a fun, easygoing relationship between person and car." The battery-powered four-seater have foldable rear seats to increase storage space, and a solar panel in the roof to help charge the battery.

The interior features fabric trim that can be swapped to provide a change of colour, with shades like plain red, a tartan-style blue or chequered yellow among the options, as shown in a 105-second video of the car that Honda showed at the Tokyo show.

The unique-looking grille of the EV-N shows the charge of the battery, with a set of LED lights. It can also inform other road users as to whether the car is about to start, stop or turn. The driver is kept informed of the system status through a screen on the dashboard.
