Ahead of the launch of the Honda e later this year, the Japanese carmaker has released a short video showcasing how the car’s dual touchscreens will enhance the driving experience for owners.
The setup consists of two high-resolution, 12.3-inch displays that can be used independently by the driver and front passenger. The interface operates in a similar fashion to modern smartphones, and users will also be able to easily swap information across the two screens.
As the video demonstrates, there are plenty of features here, including the ability to assign your frequented functions to quick-access tiles, a multitasking view, a navigation function, and even a digital personal assistant that can be called up by using the term “OK, Honda.”
You also get video playback capability, which is one of several entertainment and connectivity options available; Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are also supported here. Users can even add additional apps from the Honda App Center.
The dual-touchscreen setup also provides access to various vehicle functions, including the current powertrain status, charging scheduling, as well as safety and driver assistance systems.
In total, the Honda e’s dashboard comes with five screens in total, with the aforementioned dual touchscreens, along with two outer ones measuring six inches for the side cameras. The fifth screen is an eight-inch unit that acts as the digital instrument cluster.
The Honda e is rear-wheel drive, and will be powered by an electric motor that delivers 150 PS and around 300 Nm of torque. A water-cooled 35.5 kWh lithium-ion battery positioned on the floor of the car provides power to the drive unit, and can be recharged using either a Type 2 AC connection or a CCS2 DC rapid charger – the latter is said to provide an 80% state of charge in just 30 minutes.

This 12.3 inch infortainment System is actually having same detail as Mercedes Benz Infortainment System
The only problem is that ugly steering wheel looks out of place in front of these wide panel LCDs. Why not fitting game pad or joysticks and Hotas?
This is wrong, they should call it E. Honda
You win… perfect!
Night time driving with 2 huge touch screens gonna be fun on the eyes!
Yeah…with screen like that a fast rapid hand would be useful
Guys, beware of Kunta Kinte because I highly suspected that he put many dislikes for the good users like thepolygon and my username. Including, he also put many dislikes for Axxx, Real World, Dong gor, seancorr and Raja Celup in other latest article in paultan website.
Kunta just a budak mentah baru keluar sekolah, he has no idea about the pun of of E Honda.
Are you even any different from the Kunta troll? You should stop accusing others and look in the mirror first
Excuse me, are you asking silly questions again? Obviously, I am more different from Kunta troll. You need to understand that because most of the time, we already know that his original username as Kunta Kinte together with his dupes posting fake comments for most of the time in paultan article. But only, he post his good comments in his carmakers in paultan website. Furthermore, as I said it again, we already saw that Kunta is putting many dislikes for good users like Axxx, Real World, john and other users. But for me, I post with good comments without any fake news at all about when launching new models or other car facts. Even other users like Axxx, john and other users posting same things like what I always do. That’s the reasons why I am more different from Kunta troll.
Wilson Khoo, you yourself have dupe accounts. Tak malu ke LOL
And by the way, Kunta Kinte should stop accusing others and look into the mirror. And I also told him before, when he want to post anything in paultan website, he should do some research about car facts, car specs in Malaysia compare to other countries as well as about researching for car conditions before he post good comments
Why Jepunis lord copy Mesidis? Create ur own lor.
Why is the dash look so old style…. retro dash like the 80s car interior apart from the dual touchscreen.
Mazda: we should make the screen not touch screen and everything can be controlled without reaching far (just use the knob and steering button). Because it is safer.
.
Honda: freaking dual touch screen 12.3 inches baby…..hell yeah. Because we can.
So drivers can be busy touching their touch screen while driving.
too much distraction to focus on the road when put in huge monitor and tons of computer like features in front dashboard…
Merc put a big screen, then Honda put a bigger one. Hey, why not the whole front windscreen to be your monitor? Really will distract your attention during driving.
