Ew just make an electric Civic please
Make an electric EG hatch. Change as little as possible just make it feel like its got about 150 to 200hp.
God damn I miss that car.
They HAD one. The urban e was a great little car and they just didn’t do anything with it 🤷♂️
Perhaps this is a new iteration of the e.
It does kind of look like it, we shall see if they can follow through.
The Honda E was cute, but it was overpriced and had pitiful range. No reason they couldn’t ship an updated one with improvements like Fiat did with the 500e.
I wanted one so bad, but I agree price for the range was just abysmal.
“Affordable” will cost 30 fucking thousand dollars and be devoid of any basic shit until you slap another 5 to 8 grand on it. That’s over 26.000 € assuming it’s price with VAT which probably isn’t. For this tiny little narrow trash can. Sorry, what? Since when is 26k € “affordable”? Just few years ago my parents bought Hyundai Tucson, not even the entry model, for less. And it’s a proper sized SUV. We never called that one “affordable” while costing less and you at least know why it cost that much. Because it’s a big car with quite a lot of things you could even call luxury.
It’s just absolutely insane how everyone is throwing around “cheap” and “affordable” on tiny overpriced shit cars. It’s madness.
Not everyone, though. Marketers only ;)
All the car reviewers are raving about “affordable” EV’s that are anything but affordable. Not to mention devoid of basic shit and 3/4 of them don’t even have heatpump, which is so critical when batteries are already shit because they are “affordable”. I’m not even asking for luxury shit, but heatpumps should really be a standard on any EV. Especially since I live in climate where we have winters.
Cars that fall into “affordable” group like Dacia Spring, Hyundai Inster, Citroen eC3, all these are tiny cans devoid of basic creature comforts found on hatchbacks from years ago. And they still aren’t cheap and they always advertise them with government “eco” grants that are at least in my country so stupid you can’t even expect them (you need to pay full price and then HOPE there are still open eco grants that you can even get back as a refund). How stupid is that? If there was a guaranteed one that it would be deducted from full price when paying for the car, I’d potentially consider for an EV. I can’t gamble a fucking 3000-5000 € price difference, that’s a lot of money.
Now if only we could have some more affordable and small EV options in Canada.
small elecric SUV
into the trash it goes.
What’s wrong with that? I’d rather have a small car that I don’t have to crawl out of. So a small SUV would be much better than the regular smaller cars.
Yup. I have a kona electric and love the size. Easier to get in/out than my old mazda 3 and the hatch is convenient for groceries etc
Just get lifted suspension on a sedan. Same thing.
sure, but that looks fucking dumb.
Is it just because the word “SUV” is somehow tainted with evil? Because as I understand it, the main beefs people have with SUVs is that they’re big and have poor gas mileage. The “small” and “electric” parts of that description counter those problems.
“Small suv” is just a sedan that is brick shaped. Its less aerodynamic, more top heavy, and provides no benefits over a sedan hatchback.
Electric vehicles are very much not top-heavy. They are typically built with the batteries as a platform along the bottom, lowering their centers of gravity significantly. If anything this has become somewhat of a problem, road barriers aren’t designed with such low centers of gravity in mind and testing has shown that some EVs tend to go under barriers when they hit them.
You asked for the beef of small suvs. So e-suvs solved one of the issues.
That’s not the one in the thumbnail. 0 Series SUV vs Super EV Concept.
Designed as an A-segment electric SUV
From the article.
It’s the word “concept” that worries me. Concept cars rarely make it into production without significant alterations, and frequently those alterations take away what made the concept interesting and unique in the first place.
Concept cars are usually just the company/designers showing what they could do, not what they will do.
This one appears to be a roadworthy prototype vehicle that is going to participate in some driving challenge at Goodwood. But Honda doesn’t have any details to share about possible production dates, so it’s still far away if ever.
Fugly
Just make a hybrid plz
