Honda in Tokyo / Seven Concepts Debuting / All Electrified (One’s a Sports Car)


At its home-market auto show in Tokyo, Honda will unveil three concept cars, three two-wheeled concepts, and one folding chair on wheels. Each has some sort of electrification, either with batteries alone or in a hybrid system. Short on info, we present this preview in haiku.


Small Sports EV Concept


Open-top driving
With the motor in the back
EV could be fun


Honda AC-X conceptAC-X Concept


Plug-in hybrid car
We’ve seen your platform before
Are you an Accord?


Micro Commuter Concept


The future is now
Everything looks crazy here
Welcome to Japan


Motor Compo Concept


You scoot around town
With a mobile power source
Wall-E would be proud


E-Canopy Concept


Serene on three wheels
Electricity moves you
Delivery man


RC-E Concept


Compact and lightweight
The road ahead is curvy
On this EV bike


Townwalker Concept


Exalt the elders
Who ride in this chair
It fits in a trunk


The company also will show the first in its new series of N minicars, the N BOX. It’s a kei car with rear sliding doors. And it’s boxy. The letter N has a history with little Hondas, having been used in the 1960s and ’70s on the N360 and N600.
