Honda's Futuristic Urban Micro Commuter Concept Vehicle

"This car is called the Micro Commuter Concept. It's a very small concept car for getting around city centers. The idea is that you can get around town in the same sort of way as you do when you are using your smartphone or cellphone. So for example, when insert your smartphone when you get in, it shows your favorite content. The car can suggest "How about going here?" and you can say, "OK, let's go". So this car provides a new experience, where getting around is enjoyable in itself."
"Another feature, as you can see, is an interchangeable front mask and door panels. There's paper inside the panels, so you can customize them with pictures of your pets, for example. We think such easy customization makes this car even more fun."


"In city centers especially, people and cars feel much closer together. So we suggest using the front display for a new form of communication. Drivers could say "Hi!" to each other or "Watch out, there's a car coming!"
"The first thing we'd like to say at Honda is, cars should be "fun to drive." No matter what forms of mobility arise in the EV era, we think they could all be enjoyable to drive. In addition, this car has a loop battery, which is small and cute. It could also be used as a supplementary battery for the audio system or air-conditioner. But by using it as the main power source for a Motor Compo or Townwalker, we think we can suggest new forms of synergy, like connection between batteries, that are unique to Honda."
