According to EM's own conversion tables, 85.6 USmpg (as claimed) = 36(+) km/l (as claimed ) = 102.8 Imp mpg.

Honda claims it does that.
When Hyundai made unreasonable claims about their cars economy they got sued and now have to pay customers to compensate for their cars low FE.
I bet Honda knows what they are doing here... they will pay if it does not deliver!

But I bet it does. The gearbox, engine, batteries, aero tweeks, whole concept - there are no flaws.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
