Detroit Motor Show: What the cars of the future may look like

Concept cars are visions of how the future of motoring may look, although some experts said there were fewer models than expected.
That could be because such vehicles are time-consuming and expensive to make, especially considering some will never reach the production line.
Digital dashboards, green energy and autonomous features were big themes.

Honda previewed the third generation Insight. Competing with the Toyota Prius and hybrid models such as the Ford Fusion, the car can travel short distances on battery power alone.
Unlike some of its rivals, the Honda engine often only acts as a generator, recharging the battery to run the electric motor. While the first and second generation Insights made it to the European market, it's believed this third-gen car will not be offered in the UK. It goes on sale in the second half of 2018.

In a design challenge to show what the future of SUVs (sport utility vehicles) could look like, Nissan has revealed the XMotion concept, which, according to the Japanese brand, combines Japanese culture and design with American convenience.
It has seven digital screens inside and is the brainchild of Nissan's new chief designer Alfonso Albaisa.
