Honda wants to focus directly on the electric car. At the moment it does so only with its Honda-e, a very distinguished model in many aspects, but from which it wins especially in everything that is its new and very technological interior. In this direction, the firm has also sought to equip its cars with a complementary kit that makes them even better than they already are.

Honda focuses attention on its technological interior

Honda is faithfully committed to the fully electric vehicle. Until not long ago, this was far from his real convictions, since his future sights were placed on vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells or other configurations such as hybridization with greater or lesser prominence.

In this regard, the Japanese brand announced a few months ago its goal of reaching a level of net emissions in terms of its models sold in the year 2040, either through battery or fuel cell electrification. It does it all through new all-electric prototypes that will take care of complete the range of the next sub-brand, the future e:N.

However, until that becomes a reality, the Japanese are looking for very efficient ways to complement our battery-powered car. A specific case is the one that occurs with the ‘e’ (here its technical sheet) possibly the most avant-garde model (or one of the most) on the market due to its latest interior. In those, Sakura’s firm proposes, for its part, to materialize it through a totally ecological complementary kit.

What is it about

As we say, Honda has taken its interior concept to another world for its electric model, the Honda-e. A car with a futuristic, conceptual image, of great design… and that looks really good in everything that has to do with its avant-garde philosophy to the latest in relation to its total technology.

Thus, this interior idea is based on a fully digital dashboard, consisting of five high-resolution color screens that occupy the entire width of the passenger compartment. Of course, it also launches new connectivity and entertainment systems. The instrument panel is an 8.8-inch TFT display located right in front of the driver and, of course, it is the one that shows relevant information about driving, such as speed, autonomy, battery charge status, driving mode chosen, etc…

All in all, what the Japanese manufacturer has done is to incorporate to all this instrumentation what is an extra addition that makes it even more irresistible, hence it settles as the aspect that all users and drivers like the most. However, we speak of contributions as a renewed multimedia system that allows you to control the navigator, the audio equipment, the telephone, configure the different driving aids, check the status of the batteries and use mobile applications. It is also compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and can also be managed through voice commands, responding to the order ‘Ok, Honda’.

The digital key and other details of interest

Something that wins integers, beyond all the technology it equips, is the feeling of quality that is in it, so much so that we can put the premium label on it. With high quality materials, it is also presented with details such as its specific buttons, as well as a special molding that simulates the wood of the dashboard.

All while the different pieces look very well put together. We can thus say that it is an interior that conveys the feeling of being well done, which is why Honda wanted to show it with all possible guarantees. For its part, and as something very typical of the house, what the firm has done is to include in its kit a smartphone app that will allow remote access to vehicle information.

This is the state of charge, air conditioning, location… or sending information to the car from the phone, such as the location of a recharging point or any other destination for the navigator. One of the functions of this application will be to digital key, since by means of the telephone it will be possible to open or close the car without the need for a physical key.
