Key Exhibition Models
Automobiles
- Honda Sports EV Concept (World premiere)
The Honda Sports EV Concept aims to realize a feel of unity with
the car, combining EV performance and AI with a compact form. While
sharing the platform with Honda Urban EV Concept, its unforgettable
silhouette, friendly front fascia that naturally blends into any
lifestyle, and supple surfaces make it a next-generation sports car
that brings joy and emotional attachment in ownership.
- Honda Urban EV Concept (Japan premiere)
The Honda Urban EV Concept is built on a newly developed, EV-only
platform, signaling the future of mass-produced EV models and
directions in design. Its compact size is ideal for urban driving,
and its simple design brings "joy of lively driving" and
"friendliness that inspires attachment" to the customer. The Urban

through technologies such as AI and the car's front display that
shows messages and greetings to onlookers.

The Honda NeuV is an EV concept model that explores the growing
possibilities of mobility through autonomous driving technology and
AI. It determines the driver's stress level from facial expressions
and voice tones to support safe driving, and by learning the

driver according to the situation, realizing natural communication
between driver and mobility. The NeuV also explores autonomous
car-sharing use, with permission from its owner, when it is not
being used.
