Hell, but that thing is ugly. And that dash looks like it came straight out of a 1965 Mini.

That may be but it's a highly important model for Honda.

Oi! Leave me out of this...
You sir are a heathen....
It is gorgeous, and we should all fawn over Honda for making it...
*sarcasm aside*
It definitely is an acquired taste in terms of looks... I personally think it fits its role perfectly and it looks the part as well.

Honda e First Drive | Fully Charged
When Robert Llewellyn was given an early test drive of a Honda e electric car in Frankfurt, Germany, he jumped at the chance. The only drawback, very very limited time in the car. In fact he had 19 minutes to shoot everything.
All that aside, he loved his first drive of the car. And the final official price? No one, seriously, no one outside Honda knows.
But check out the excellent camera wing mirrors and the almost comical Honda e turning circle!

The Honda E Is the Electric Car I've Been Waiting For
If you want an electric car, there are the Teslas, which are nice but too expensive, much like the BMW i3. There is the Honda Clarity, which is insanely boring, like the Chevy Bolt and Volt and Nissan Leaf and Hyundai Ioniq. Then there is the Fiat 500e, which is getting closer to what you want. Because what you want is the new Honda e.
The Honda e has a good name. And the design looks good. It is also a small car, which is the only correct choice. It comes in five delightful colors. And today, Honda revealed some claimed power numbers, saying that the e will deliver up to 148 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque.
Those numbers aren’t impressive on their own—the Bolt, to give some comparison, makes a claimed 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque—but remember this is a small car, and intended to be light. Those power numbers should be enough, and since, like all EVs, the e will deliver that torque instantly, you can expect the e to be zippy.
The e’s range is “over 200 km,” per Honda, or about 125 miles, which also isn’t terribly impressive, but this car is for urban commuters, not road trips. In any case, Honda says that e can charge 80 percent of its battery in 30 minutes.
With the battery located low under the vehicle floor, the car’s centre of gravity is approximately 50cm from the ground. With a 50:50 weight distribution, wide yet compact size and short overhangs at the front and rear, the Honda e delivers an optimal balance of stability and handling performance to the compact electric car segment.
To help deliver a sporty character, power is delivered through the rear wheels, which also enables a greater steering articulation for the front wheels. As a result, the turning radius is approximately 4.3 metres, ensuring the Honda e is exceptionally manoeuvrable in small city streets.

Honda e
Honda has unveiled the first official images of its new Honda e electric vehicle (EV). The car is the next step towards Honda's commitment to making 100% of its European automobile sales electrified by 2025 and is set to make its official public debut at 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, alongside Honda's range of electrified and sporty automobiles.
Honda e design details
Developed with a focus on simplicity in design and usability, the Honda e will meet the needs of modern urban lifestyles through seamlessly integrated connected technologies and exceptional driving dynamics.
Clean external lines are accentuated by the Side Camera Mirror System that replaces conventional side view mirrors with compact cameras, providing live images to two six-inch screens inside the vehicle. The camera technology, a first in the compact segment, brings significant benefits for styling, safety, aerodynamics and refinement.
Honda e technical specifications
The Honda e is equipped with a high-power electric motor available with two power outputs of 100 kW (136ps) or 113kW (154ps), and impressive torque of 315Nm. The 35.5kWh battery is one of the most compact in its class yet delivers a range of up to 220km from a single charge, perfect for every day urban commuting. A fast-charging capability also allows recharge to 80% capacity in 30 minutes. On the road, the car delivers a responsive and fun experience, with the powerful electric motor driving the rear wheels for a sporty and connected feel. The Honda e delivers outstanding acceleration from a standing start and will reach 0-100km/h in approximately 8 seconds.

Honda e revealed in production guise, specifications confirmed
Eagerly awaited electric city car to debut at Frankfurt next week
The Honda E will offer two power outputs, 134bhp and 152bhp, both of which produce 232lb ft of torque and deliver 0-62mph in around 8sec.
The highly anticipated electric city car, first unveiled as the Urban EV concept two years ago, has finally been revealed in production form, along with more specification details, ahead of its debut at the Frankfurt motor show.
There are only two visual changes between the prototype seen at the Geneva motor show in March and the final production car: the grille badge is not illuminated as this feature is illegal in Europe and the side skirt no longer says ‘Honda Design’.
The Japanese car maker is heavily investing in electrified models, having been initially slow to adapt. The CR-V hybrid launched last year, but this is Honda’s first electric car for Europe and is set to become its ‘halo’ model, given its advanced technology and price. By 2025, Honda intends for all of its European models sold to be electrified.

Honda e: UK pricing confirmed from £26,150
Eagerly awaited electric city car makes production-ready debut in Frankfurt, with prices nearly matching the VW ID 3
Honda's new e electric city car has appeared in production form at the Frankfurt motor show, as the firm confirms it will be available from £26,160 in the UK.
The model's price tag is lower than initially expected, and comes close to the new Volkswagen ID 3's £25,500 starting price. Entry-level models are powered by a 134bhp electric motor, with prices rising to £28,660 for the 152bhp Advance variant. Both available powertrains produce 232lb ft of torque and deliver 0-62mph in around 8sec.
In addition to the power boost, Advance trim adds a parking assist programme, a digital rear-view mirror and an upgraded sound system. Range for both models is quoted at 136 miles, with Honda UK boss Phil Webb calling that "more than sufficient" for the average European commute of approximately 30 miles.

Honda e
Honda e is the first production battery electric vehicle launched by Honda in Europe and is the next step towards the brand's electric vision for 100% of its European sales to be electrified by 2025.
Prices for Honda e will start from €29,470 in Germany (including local government subsidy) for the 100kW version, rising to €32,470 for the "Advance" grade that includes further specification and a motor output increased to 113kW. Customers in UK, Germany, France and Norway are set to receive first deliveries from summer 2020.

The camera technology, a first in the compact segment, brings significant benefits for styling, safety, aerodynamics and refinement.
The car is distinguished in profile by its smooth styling contours, enhanced by pop-out door handles that provide a seamless look. Inside, a next-generation five screen full-width digital dashboard and connected infotainment system are incorporated within a relaxing and modern passenger cabin that uses subtle, contemporary materials.
The largest area of the Honda e's full-width digital dashboard is occupied by dual 12.3-inch LCD touchscreens. These act as the primary infotainment displays, presenting a range of applications and connected infotainment services that help the car to seamlessly integrate with the owner's modern urban lifestyle. As a result, the driver and passengers - whether the car is driving, parked or charging - can enjoy the same connectivity and comfort.

Honda silences rumours of hot e Type R
Range-topping variants of electric city car will be more intelligent, but not more powerful
A performance version of the Honda e “is not the way to go”, according to project leader Kohei Hitomi, who instead will push for other forms of advancement for higher-end e models in the future.
“A performance version, like Type R, as we have on different models: I see this is not the way to go with the e," said Hitomi. "For some segments, it might be the right choice and Type R is a way to express Honda’s capability as a sporty brand. But for Honda e, we want to provide a new dimension of values for our customers.”
These will be features such as artificial intelligence (AI) and even more technology than on the normal e, which already offers high levels of specification as standard.

Honda to electrify European lineup by 2022, not 2025
'e:Technology' branding will be used on all electrified models as rollout brought forward by three years, while new energy supply contract announced
Honda has accelerated its electrification strategy in Europe, promising to electrify all of its its mainstream car lineup by 2022, rather than 2025 as previously announced.
The Japanese maker plans to launch six electrified cars over the next 36 months in Europe, led by the now hybrid-only Jazz revealed earlier today. The CR-V already features a hybrid drivetrain, as does the NSX supercar. The Honda e electric small car will also be delivered to customers next year. Expect the Civic and HR-V to be the next models to be hybridised.
Honda will use a new global 'e:Technology' branding for all of its electrified models, including motorcycles and other, non-automotive products.
The move to bring forward electrification plans is due to Honda needing to meet 2021 emissions regulations, in which manufacturers will face large fines if they cannot bring their fleet average CO2 figure down to 95g/km, as quickly as possible. Tom Gardner, Senior Vice President of Honda Motor Europe, claims Europe is now leading the way in this field.
"The pace of change in regulation, the market, and consumer behaviour in Europe means that the shift towards electrification is happening faster here than anywhere else in the world" Gardner said in a release.
