The Japanese automaker, Honda, has officially taken the veil off its latest generation N-BOX SLASH, a.k.a. the Kei car.

The company is calling its audio system the Sound Mapping System. The company claims that this newly developed technology will bring high quality sounds and fully blown deep bass sounds.
