Honda announced yesterday that it will display three concept vehicles under the Modulo custom brand name of Honda Access Corporation, a manufacturer of genuine Honda aftermarket products, at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2006 in Japan. Headlining the Honda display will be the Civic Hybrid Modulo, the Airwave Modulo, and the Step Wagon Modulo concept vehicles.

Civic Hybrid Modulo

For the exterior, the Civic’s low center-of-gravity form is enhanced with a louvered intake with variable alignment in response to vehicle speed, a trunk lid spoiler, and a diffuser, which supplement the vehicle’s flat bottom to achieve outstanding aerodynamic performance. Aerodynamic wheel covers for the 19-inch aluminum wheels add to the Civic Hybrid’s driving performance and fuel economy. Advanced technologies include a combined information display for NAVI, audio and air conditioning, touch-panel controls, a connection pocket for external devices, and side mirror cameras.

Airwave Modulo

To respond to the needs of mature adults who are “looking for quality in a compact car,” the Airwave Modulo concept vehicle offers both form and function, with such features as high-quality LED headlights and rear combination lights, and welcome lights built into the side panels. Moreover, the interior is replete with genuine leather seats, luggage compartment flooring, and more, to create an interior feel that goes beyond the ordinary. Wood-grain, high-luster interior paneling and high-quality speaker housings complete the premium concept package.

Step Wagon Modulo
The exterior features omni-directional camera-and-sensor protection in the front and rear bumpers and side panels, built-in welcome lights, and other advanced functions added on to the original Step Wagon base. To clearly express a new sense of value in the interior, Honda collaborated with the Final Form apparel brand to equip the vehicle with fashionable seat covers that can be detached and worn as outerwear. It also features a NAVI-, audio-, video-, and game-compatible ‘go-anywhere’ entertainment system for use inside or outside the vehicle, a multi-display room mirror that switches over to display images from an external camera, and front-seat flooring with matching skeleton-motif interior panels.
