honda keeps a lot of features that were included in the concept, shown earlier this year at the geneva motor show, such as the pop-out door handles and a digital key. the side-mounted cameras also remain intact, despite legal issues in the US. the system replaces conventional mirrors with 6-inch screens at the left and right of a five-screen digital dashboard.

two 12.3-inch LCD touchscreens in the center form an infotainment display, while an 8.8-inch screen acts as the driver’s instrument cluster. it also comes equipped with a personal assistant that lets users control certain functions by saying ‘OK honda’. away from the car, honda e owners can use the my honda+ smartphone application, with features like charging point navigation, climate control and vehicle condition reports.
