Honda Urban EV concept taunted ahead of Frankfurt auto display
Albeit a handful of automakers have opted to skip the two thousand seventeen Frankfurt Motor Showcase, there are still slew of fresh green concept cars and production models confirmed to make their debut.
Leading up to the media days of the two thousand seventeen Frankfurt demonstrate, we will proceed to update this running list of what is confirmed and what potentially may make its debut in Germany.
For now, here’s what we expect to see under the bright lights at the two thousand seventeen Frankfurt Motor Demonstrate.
To begin, Mini officially exposed its Electrified Concept ahead of the car’s official debut at the showcase.
We’ve known since July that an all-electric Mini would inject production in 2019, but the renderings Mini provided give us our very first peek of what to expect from the production model.
Mini did not expose specifics surrounding its electrical powertrain, tho’ we do know a lithium-ion battery pack will be present.

The Mini Electrified Concept also benefits from a host of aerodynamic trickery and the brand says the electrical car retains the fun-to-drive qualities associated with its cars.
Mini’s parent company, BMW, is also expected to have fairly a displaying in Frankfurt, Germany, as well.
Very first, the updated BMW i3 will make its official debut alongside the sportier i3s.
While the regular i3 makes one hundred seventy horsepower and one hundred eighty four pound-feet of torque from its rear motor, the i3s boasts one hundred eighty four hp and one hundred ninety nine lb-ft of torque.
The BMW i3s is also lower and features a broader track than its more pedestrian counterpart.
The thicker news is the potential for an all-electric 3-Series.
BMW has been rumored to introduce an all-electric 3-Series with two hundred fifty miles of driving range on the Fresh European Driving Cycle.
It would be a direct rival to the recently-revealed Tesla Model three and be priced comparably to its gasoline-powered counterparts.
Ultimately, Honda taunted its Urban EV concept with an photo of the car’s instrument cluster.
The Japanese automaker didn’t expose much else about the electrified car, tho’ the NeuV concept shown this past January may provide insight to what we can expect from Honda’s electric-vehicle concept.
Media days at the Frankfurt Motor Display will open in two weeks.
