This Awesome Honda Supermini Concept Could Be Here By 2019
If we could ask Honda for anything right now, it would be for them to build this absolutely stunning supermini exactly as it is. What a beauty!
Excitingly, that might actually happen: this is Honda’s Urban EV Concept, and while it’s officially just a design and technology concept, it paves the way for likely styling, drivetrain and infotainment systems of the not-so-distant future. Autocar claims a production version is slated for 2019, and we hope it’s exactly like the concept.
Just look at it! What a glorious little piece of nouveau-retro hatchback penmanship. It has fantastic, and huge, multi-spoke alloy wheels at each corner and sits low to the ground, poised over its tyres like a cat ready to pounce.
The round headlights and brilliant, illuminated ‘H’ badge on the grille are like a modern take on the original Volkswagen Golf GTI; the boxy roof line and thick C-pillars balancing the classic with the current.
It’s just so spot-on in the styling department. The massive, flared wheel arches and simple but elegant black detailing lines are completely fuss-free, but couldn’t work any better if they had all year.
Imagine this with a turbocharged engine good for, say, 140bhp. That would be superb. Come on, Honda: don’t just leave the good stuff on the design concept. Build it, and don’t change a thing.

Can’t wait to see one of these K swapped!
The shape of it sort of reminds me of the Lancia Delta strangely…
I think is more like Golf Mk1
It reminds me more of something a bit more German…
Honda Golf GTI Type R?
Honda Golf type GTI
*japanising beam sounds…
BAM!
NO, IT’S A FIRST GEN CIVIC, NOT A GOLF.
Thought it was a VW.
If it looks anything like that in production I will chop my own leg and use it to beat myself up
I like it…
So you are beating your meat then?

Honda are known to be very faithful to their concepts so you never know, I like it :D
I did a screenshot just in case
Love it! But please just make normal doors instead
No, this is better.
If you have ever gotten into a rolls royce wraith before you will know that these ‘backwards’ doors are better.
Anyone thinking of the nissan be one
But electric
Reminds me of this little nugget. And I’d really buy that thing :D
I’m pretty sure that is exactly what they’re trying to emulate here
Hmmm…
No, it’s not the same, look at the first gen civic.
