Watch the 2020 Honda e Go Outside for Fun and Games

The electric Honda was revealed by the Japanese in March this year during the 2019 Geneva Motor Show, and the car is already available for order. Until today however (July 2), most of the images of the car showed it in static poses.

To show that small is in some instances better, the Japanese took the e to the track for a look at how the battery position - 50 cm from the ground - and the 50:50 weight distribution make all the difference in the world when it comes to cornering or swaying between orange cones.

Being a rear-wheel drive thanks to the positioning of the electric motor, the e comes with a turning radius of 4.3 meters, making it the ideal car for packed city street.

In the video attached below you see the e perform all the usual handling tricks on a track, including in single pedal control mode. This is the feature that transforms the accelerator pedal into a brake pedal as well and allows the car to slow down as soon it is released.

Range wise, the 35.5 kWh battery allows for carefree motoring for up to 200 km (124 miles), not much when looking at the big picture, but more than enough when it comes to a car designed to be primarily used in cities.

In the video released by Honda we even get to see a glimpse of the car’s interior, with its full-dashboard screens and the two side ones that act as exterior mirrors. And even if the car pictured here is still a prototype, it’s more than likely this feature will go into the production version.

The Honda e is currently available for pre-order in the UK, Germany, France and Norway. The registration requires an £800 refundable deposit, with binding orders expected to open later this year.
