It would join the NSX and civic ‘type R’ as one of the Japanese–automaker’s performance vehicles.

3b – Honda urban EV concept

The 2017 Frankfurtt motor show, the Hondaa ‘urban EV’ concept was revealed, leading a completely new platform for the Japanese automaker.

Rather than a robotic taxi, designed for purely functional purposes, the car seeks to merge the advantages of door-to-door transportation with the ambience of a first-class airline cabin.

6 – Renault SYMBIOZ

Following the notion that the car has become a home away from home, at the 2017 Frankfurt motor show, Renault takes this concept a step further as it showcases not only a car but also domestic interior. By being fully autonomous and electric, the ‘SYMBIOZ’ proposes a change in the way humans interact with their vehicles. This is through maximizing the comforts within the car and allowing it to function as an additional, livable space.

Revealed at the 2017 Tokyo motor show, the Mazda ‘Vision Coupe’ concept expresses a minimalist Japanese aesthetic. Its highlights include a ‘kodo – soul of motion’ exterior that embodies an aesthetic of a simple ‘one-motion’ form, which conveys a sense of speed. the interior applies the concept of ma (literally ‘space’) from traditional Japanese architecture, combining three-dimensional depth with a strong longitudinal axis to produce a relaxed space while maintaining the feeling of motion. The vehicle’s name pays homage to the manufacturer’s tradition of design elegance represented by coupé models like the ‘R360’, Mazda's first passenger car, and the ‘luce rotary’, also known as the ‘R130’.

8 – Volkswagen I.D. BUZZ

Shown at NAIAS 2017 in Detroit, USA, the Volkswagen ‘I.D. BUZZ’ concept is a self-driving campervan that exemplifies the brand’s new era of electric mobility. The multifunctional vehicle combines nostalgic design cues, such as pure form, honest character and authentic emotionality with innovative technology.

Laser scanners, ultrasonic, radar sensors and cameras monitor other road users and the surroundings, whilst the driver relaxes. due to the popularity of the concept, Volkswagen announced in late 2017 that the ‘I.D. BUZZ’ will go into production, initially scheduled for a 2022 market date.

9 – MINI Electric Concept

Again, at the 2017 Frankfurt motor show, MINI showcased its latest EV with the simply named ‘Electric Concept’. the vehicle itself embodies a whole new dimension of the brand’s characteristic go-kart feeling, whilst combining it with locally emission-free mobility. The powerful drive of the car draws its energy from a lithium-ion battery, ensuring maximum range and typical MINI agility with emission-free mobility. Significantly, since the electric motor does not require cooling air, the hexagonal front grille is closed in order to enhance its aerodynamic properties. This, as well as the fibreglass attachment that reduces drag, are finished in a reflective silver and interchangeable yellow, which is reminiscent of the MINI E presented in 2008.

10 – Toyota TJ cruiser

As a new crossover genre vehicle, the Toyota ‘TJ cruiser’ cruiser debuted at the 45th Tokyo motor show 2017. The vehicle represents the harmonious balance between the roominess of a cargo van and the powerful design of an SUV. Designed for drivers with lifestyles where work and play intertwine constantly and almost seamlessly, the name’s ‘T’ stands for ‘Toolbox’, alluding to how it can be used like one, whilst the ‘J’ stands for ‘Joy’ in reference to experiencing new places by car. Inside, the passenger seats can be reclined completely flat, allowing the automobile to accommodate extra large items, such as 3 meter long surfboards and bikes.
