Research notes
Five-door battery-electric hatchback built at Honda's Yorii plant, Saitama, Japan, styled with retro cues evoking 1970s-80s Civics/City hatchbacks. ~220km WLTP range. Honda ended production in Jan 2024 after ~12,500 units sold globally, citing weak sales versus rivals with more range and lower prices.
