Tokyo motor show: Honda readying sensational Sports EV

New concept Urban EV-inspired concept could be a zero-emission spiritual successor to the CR-X

Honda says it will follow up its stunning Urban EV concept that it unveiled at the Frankfurt motor show with sporty new concept for a small pure-electric coupe at the Tokyo motor show on October 25.

Releasing a single image of its Sports EV concept, other than saying its new concept for a zero-emission coupe will have a "friendly face", the Japanese car maker hasn't released any more details.

Clearly drawing its styling cues from the cute Urban EV, its hoped Honda will confirm its new coupe for production around 2019 - the same year it plans to offer buyers a production version based on the Urban EV.

Claimed to have been developed to deliver a "feeling of joy", the Japanese car maker says the little Sports EV will incorporate new Artificial Intelligence technology.

We expect more teases of, what's hoped to be a pure-electric CR-X or CR-Z replacement ahead of its official reveal later this month.
