Honda E
The all-electric city car from Honda made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show and starting prices were finally announced.
Offering a range of approximately 136 miles, the Honda E has already made 31,000 ‘expressions of interest’ and 9,000 of them are from the UK.
The Honda E slightly resembles the original 1972 Honda Civic, but with modernised technology, including a side camera system to replace the traditional side-view mirrors and retractable door handles.
Produced solely for city driving, rather than long journeys, the small-sized vehicle is perfect for your daily commutes.
Debuting next year, the starting price for Honda’s all-electric vehicle is said to be around £26,160.

The Corsa-e is just the beginning of Vauxhall’s electric future.

The starting price for the Corsa-e will be around £26,490, and the first 500 people to place an order will also receive a free home charging kit.
Mercedes Vision EQS
Finally, Mercedes unveiled their new Vision EQS concept to add to the EQ range which already has the EQC lined up.
