It also gives a lower centre of gravity. This allows for greater cabin space, and the room for three rows of two seats. To give the Honda Skydeck Concept the practicality of a conventional MPV, many of the hybrid system components - including the high power battery - are housed in the car's centre tunnel (rather than behind the rear seats or under the floor, as with previous production hybrids).

This is still a design study, but is a great example of how Honda's IMA technology can be placed in a range of different cars for different needs. The 2009 Tokyo Motor Show will mark the debut of the Honda Skydeck Concept, an innovative 6-seater hybrid MPV.
