New Concept Car

Honda intends to launch a small, new, all-electric SUV, based on a new concept called the "e:Ny1" in 2023.  The company says the new EV's range will exceed that of other Honda electric vehicles, so the range should be well in excess of 200 miles on a charge.  Automotive experts believe that it will be an electrified version of Honda's newly released hybrid HR-V.

Intensifying Electric Vehicle Global Competition

The new EV will go into direct competition with the VW ID4 and Hyundai's Ioniq 5 as the global market for electric vehicles heats up.  The e:Ny1 has sleek, classic design lines, a sloping roofline and break lights that span the full width of the back of the car.  The interior is expected to be similar to that of the HR-V. The dashboard is minimalist with a raised touchscreen and a digital driver's display. There are no official details from Honda on the EV's electric motor system or battery.  But automotive experts believe the engine will be the 154 hp electric motor now used in the Honda e Advance.  And, for the EV to be competitive, the battery will likely be between 50 and 80 kWh.  Concerning price, it will likely start at $38,500.
