The 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show marked the debut of the Honda FCEV Concept, which expresses a potential styling direction for the Japanese automaker's next-generation fuel-cell vehicle anticipated to launch in the U.S. and Japan in 2015, followed by Europe.
Unlike the four-passenger FCX Clarity, the Honda FCEV Concept offers seating for five. It produces 135 horsepower and can travel more than 480 kilometres, with a quick refuelling time of about three minutes.
The power density is now 3kW/L, an increase of 60%, while the fuel cell stack is 33% smaller than the FCX Clarity's, allowing it to be packaged inside the engine bay -- a world's first.
Pricing and Canadian availability remain unknown. Just for your information, leasing a Honda FCX Clarity in the U.S. costs $600 a month over three years.
