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.

Love it, needs a type r in the range for sure.
The Mk1 Golf GTi? Nah; this is like a modern re-imagining of the 1st-Gen Civic, from the styling line running up from the bonnet and up-around the base of the rear-window, to the position of the rear lights from the side on profile; heck, even the position of the single pair of headlights at the front (rather than the Golf’s double pair). I like it a lot.
The Golf had single pairs as well
Just add another pedal and it’ll be perfect👌👌
what would be the purpose of that? It’s electric.
So Honda has done a better job of making a Mini than MINI?
Omg this looks awesome
Look at it! It’s so cute!
Those A-pillars are scary thin though, I’m pretty sure that someone could break it with their fists
I guarantee that it will not make it into production, or will look completely different though
I hope than can make them that thin while being safe. Big, thick pillars suck for visibility.
Finaly an Mini that is actually an Mini… But is Japanese… And, hopefully, not as large as the other MAXIS’
……..ls swap it……
THERE, I SAID IT
Half mini cooper, half amc gremlin with a little bit of iphone thrown in there…
