For the UK and Japan markets, maybe. Of course there will be enthusiasts that are going to be die hard fans of this. In the US though, they might need to upgrade the battery capacity to handle the long trips. Maybe make a bigger version since the market trends here usually lean towards Crossover/SUV's. I definitely would love to see a four-door version with normal side mirrors, door handles, and less screens, without adding too much weight (in comparison to other similar vehicles, this is heavier). Hopefully, with battery technology advancing and being able to compact energy more efficiently, we see ranges skyrocket.

It looks amazing but as you pointed out, the interior screen display and software just seem very basic which is confusing considering all the other tech on offer in the car like the side cameras. Also, perhaps a small thing but the car needs an armrest. At just under 30k and with all the amazing cars that will be launched over the next 12 months and beyond, it's going to be tough for Honda. Let's see what the new Jazz Hybrid has to offer. Thanks for the review!

People moaning about the range need to realise that with any EV you recharge overnight while the car is parked. It is not like a petrol car where you have to go to the local service station, you get a charge point fitted at home which gets you running for about £5 per charge. The only real time you will use a public charge point is on long journeys.

In todays electric market the prices are often combined with the range. So that`s why Tesla is so expensive, since they have good range. But since you can get a Zoe with better range and it`s cheaper this Honda has to get a bigger battery or an smaller price tag. I`ve never liked Honda, I don`t think they look good and there`s only old guys driving them. But this one I really like! Such a shame it`s got so bad range.
