Dubbed as Honda e, it’s an urban EV commuter that’s integrated with a simple yet modern design with diminutive dimensions. The Japanese automaker says the e’s overall look adapts to the new era of mobility.

The front end of the Honda e features a clean and straightforward design that’s highlighted by the round headlights. It also comes with a sleek black grille as well as a charging port that’s placed at the center.

Turning at the side, you’ll see that the Honda e doesn’t come with conventional exterior mirrors, which is a hint to the tech capabilities of this EV. The mirrors are replaced by cameras that feed live shots on a screen inside the car.

It also has a two-tone exterior finish of white and black, which further highlights the simple characteristic of the car. On the other hand, the rear also gets a straightforward design that banks on achieving an overall clean look. The Honda e’s simple exterior makes it stand out from other EVs in the market such as the Nissan Leaf.
