The Honda E is being marketed as an urban commuting car that will be easy to navigate down crowded and narrow European streets and provide a little bit of fun for the driver when they are able to get out on the open road.

The Honda E will feature an electric motor that makes up to 148 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque. Powering this motor is a compact, low weight 35.5 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack. Honda says the water cooled, fast charging battery is capable of getting an 80 percent charge in just 30 minutes and has a range of over 124 miles. The battery pack is located underneath the car in order to create a low center of gravity.

One of the main focuses for Honda engineers was to make the car fun, yet safe. To achieve this, the Honda E was designed with McPherson four-wheel independent struts, and engineers have delivered a 50/50 weight distribution to further improve handling. This will definitely help when in sports mode. The Honda E also utilizes a high strength yet lightweight skeletal structure to provide the upmost protection for the driver.

Like several other EVs, the Honda E will also feature single pedal control, meaning that the car will automatically slow down as the driver eases up on the pedal. Also featured is rear-wheel drive allowing for a turning radius of 14 feet, making it perfect for urban navigation.

A production version of the Honda E will be unveiled later this year and is part of the company's brand strategy for selling electric vehicles in Europe by 2025 with reservations starting in the U.K., Germany, France, and Norway. With still no announcement for a U.S. release, it's a bummer that we'll probably never see this cool little car here, but we can always keep our fingers crossed.
