Honda has unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week a three seat concept car Honda P-NUT (Personal-Neo Urban Transport) Concept.
Honda P-NUT, according to representatives of the Japanese company, demonstrates the vision of designers that might look like ultra-compact city vehicle in 10-15 years.
Honda says the P-NUT is ready for one of three possible powertrains: an efficient gas engine, a gas-electric hybrid, or a pure electric set up.
The central driving position will be flanked by two rear seats and has been built to provide ample legroom. All of 11.2 x 5.7 x 4.6 feet size, it has its rear seats with a foldable option in case you need more storage space. Honda says legroom for all occupants is the equivalent of a mid-sized sedan.
Falling in the micro-car category, the concept P-NUT is designed for cities and tight urban areas with its small, micro-car footprint.
Honda has conceptualized the design with exteriors making the car a single piece combination windshield and roof. The windshield serves as a head-up display for the navigation system.
“A new generation is discovering the benefits of living in urban centers that provide convenient access to business, entertainment and social opportunities,” said Dave Marek, director of advanced design at Honda’s U.S. R&D center. “The Personal-Neo Urban Transport concept explores the packaging and design potential for a vehicle conceived exclusively around the city lifestyle.”
