I mean if they're going to render it with five doors they should at least give it the "hidden" rear handles which are clearly visible on the prototype...

To be fair, that render is at least a couple month old. They obviously didn't expect them to forgo the conventional wing mirrors either.

Honda Urban EV Prototype interior revealed, featuring snippets of the exterior design in its large digital display
As soon as I saw HDMI connectivity, I instantly thought of this:

There's a few interesting details about that dash. I did some zooming on the charging graphic too - probably the best look we've had yet at the exterior styling.

Dash reminds me a little, in concept, of the 4th Gen Prelude:
Kinda into it.

I'm glad they're making it. Overall, it gives me that CVCC returning to its roots. Minor detail, this is another car I've seen reverting back to the two-spoke steering wheel. Last car I had with a two-spoke, was my '98 Mirage. The Honda one is way thicker/sportier.

This is about as close to the production model as we are going to get for now. Not only has the EV kept its charming retro styling, it features a RWD drivetrain!
It's such a wonderful thing, hurry up Honda!

I adore this. The interior is the best thing I've seen since the BMW I3. Maybe better.
I'm not keen on electric powertrains in terms of them being all pretty soulless, but I'm all for them if they enable manufacturers to actually get back into designing good looking vehicles! Hell, just make a single, stretchable skateboard for every single car model, and then just throw on however many bodies as the designers can crank out. The amount of development required would probably be a small fraction of what it would cost to do the same thing while accommodating ICE power.

I swear, I'm buying this.
I haven't wanted another car so bad since my 1994 Civic.
Thank you Honda!

Wow.
I would not mind having that car as a daily. I don't care if it's electric, everything about it is cool as hell.

It's a very aesthetically pleasing car, inside and out.
That said, with the amount of bodywork between the top of the wheel arches and the bottom of the windows, it makes me wonder if it's a bit too tall... like it needs to be at most half a foot lower in overall height.

This is a great in-depth video of the design with Jonny Smith. IMO, the car looks great. I'm pretty chuffed that Honda managed to retain the important details like the flush door handles and pillarless doors... They didn't chicken out in the design department. I just hope it becomes a big seller, as Honda was hesitant to bring it into production in the first place. I'd buy it - Like, seriously.
