I had the exact issue with my 2017 LX. I came home from work and went to lock the car and no response. None of the buttons where doing anything. Tried the spare key and still nothing. I waited an hour or so and tried again, nothing. Started the car and turned it off again then tried and it...

Seems like the light design will follow through on other models. The link is Hondas UK website showing the new HRV with a similar light design.
I quite like the car BUT I do wish the front end was different. I don't like the way it curves at the front to create like a 'nose'. I Would have preferred the front end to go straight across rather than that dip. Would end up looking similar to the front end of a Dodge charger.
