Honda FCV production fuel cell sedan set for Tokyo

Honda has confirmed that a new, production-ready version of its upcoming fuel cell vehicle will bow at the Tokyo Auto Show. This sleek hydrogen-powered sedan is still provisionally called the FCV and will go on sale here in 2016. However, a quick perusal of the teaser image offers some insight into differences between it and the updated FCV Concept presented last January in Detroit.

As expected, the production version has more conventional styling cues. The most evident are in its revamped front end, greenhouse and body-side contours although a closer look also indicates the addition of traditional door handles and more accommodating rear wheel openings. What hasn’t changed is Honda’s claim this 5-passenger ultra-green cruiser will have a range in excess of 435 miles — roughly 120 miles more than the recently introduced 2016 Toyota Mirai fuel cell vehicle.
