Honda Motor Co. has released the first official images of its new fuel cell-powered sedan. The car, tentatively named FCV, will be publicly unveiled at the Tokyo auto show in October.
The pre-production version of the FCV retains the silhouette of earlier concept models. But the styling of the production model has been softened. Highlights include elongated headlights and L-shaped daytime running lights that flow into the bumper.
Honda expects the hydrogen-fueled FCV to have a driving range of more than 435 miles. That would significantly beat the 312-mile range of Toyota Motor Corp.'s new Mirai fuel cell vehicle.
The five-passenger FCV also can accommodate one more passenger than the Toyota model. Interior appointments include wood trim throughout, a digital instrument cluster and a large touchscreen located in the middle of the center console.
In addition to the FCV, Honda's Tokyo exhibit will include a concept autonomous vehicle, the all-new NSX and the production model of the hybrid version of its Odyssey minivan.
