Honda Motor Co on Saturday exhibited the world premiere of its e:N2 Concept, the concept model for the second set of its e:N Series models, the Honda-brand EV model series in China, at the Fifth China International Import Expo, in Shanghai, China.
The exterior design of the e:N2 Concept features sharp and dynamic body lines and surface finishing which highlights the metallic look, aiming to present new styling that does not belong to any existing categories. The interior was designed with an aim to realize the value of this EV as a “space” where occupants can enjoy “intellectual exhilaration.” To this end, a clean and uncluttered digital cockpit was adopted, and smart hospitality for the occupants will be offered with the latest Honda CONNECT features as well as the effective presentation of lighting and scents.
As for driving performance, built on the e:N Architecture F, a dedicated architecture developed exclusively for the e:N Series, the e:N2 Concept was designed to achieve unique driving pleasure, enabling the driver to enjoy a strong “sense of unity with the vehicle.” This was realized based on the dynamics technologies of Honda, including outstanding vehicle stability and crisp handling.
“The e:N2 Concept represents the value of our e:N Series, which will ‘redefine the fun EVs can offer to customers’ with their unique driving pleasure, the value as a mobility space and design," said Toshihiro Mibe, president and representative executive officer of Honda Motor Co Ltd. "In China, Honda will continue delivering a broad range of electrified mobility products unique only to Honda and experience our rebirth into an electric mobility brand.”

The headline is wrong. This isn't an EV model, it's a concept.

The interior is pretty funky, with an all-glass dashboard. Could be a bit more spacious. https://www.honda.co.jp/honda-e/webcatalog/interior/cabin/

I doubt this is going to make any impression on Chinese consumers.
China already is the biggest EV market in the world; and Chinese EVs are years ahead of Japanese EV in technology. To Chinese consumers, a Honda EV is a product from a bygone era, like a brand new Sony smartphone that looks obsolete and dated in the eyes of consumers outside of Japan.

Looks fantasticky outside. Must be ultraskifantastiki inside.

Base: first China made EV have a bad habit of catching on fire. Chinese tourism in Japan main goal is buying Japanese made electronic. As for The ever present Japanese flip phone is still cool and are quite wanted oversea due the the retro stigma.

Right now, the only Honda EV that interests me is the rumored Prelude EV, assuming it has LG's battery and powertrain. I wish I could have gotten the original gas-powered 4th gen model, but never had the chance to.
