Honda is preparing a couple of new crossovers: the first teasers

It is known that future models are part of the e:N series, which is intended primarily for the Chinese car market. The premiere of electric vehicles will be held as part of the Shanghai Auto Show in April.

According to the previously announced development strategy, Honda Motor intends to bring thirty new electric models to the global market by 2030. It is known that the company decided to invest a total of five trillion yen in the «landscaping» of the line. According to the plan, Honda will completely abandon internal combustion engines in its models by 2040.

One of the directions of «total gardening» was the development of a family of electric vehicles intended primarily for the Chinese market. Recall that Honda has three electric crossovers here, however, all of them are based on the previous generation Vezel/HR-V model. In addition, sales of the Honda e:NS1 and Honda e:NP1 started last year in the Celestial Empire, and their production has been established at the facilities of joint ventures with Dongfeng and GAC, respectively. The models have a few design differences, but are technically identical.

In October 2021, the Japanese manufacturer showed three concepts of the new series: e:N Coupe, e:N SUV and e:N GT. They are based on the e:N Architecture W platform, designed for rear- and all-wheel drive electric vehicles. As Kolesa.ru reported earlier, it has a flat and rather large battery, a double wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear. Later, in November 2022, another Honda e:N2 show car was presented as part of the China International Import Expo. .jpg» />Honda news teaser on the right (highlighted version)

Now the manufacturer has announced a couple more e:N series crossovers, which will be presented at the next Shanghai Auto Show: it will open its doors in the middle of next month. So far, Honda has published only teasers of new products: the image shows two very similar coupe-shaped silhouettes, which differ slightly from each other in the design of the front and rear.

It can be assumed that the “big brothers” of the e:NS1 and e:NP1 twin crossovers act as novelties. In this case, the new SUVs will most likely also be put on the conveyors of the Dongfeng Honda and GAC Honda joint ventures. So far, there are no official details, probably the manufacturer will share them during the imminent debut of new SUVs intended for the Chinese market. jpg» />In the photo: Honda e:NP1

For now, of course, there is no information about the technology of future crossovers. In turn, the Honda e:NS1 and e:NP1 are equipped with a single electric motor mounted on the front axle, in the basic versions its return is 182 hp, in the more expensive options — 204 hp. In the first case, a traction battery with a capacity of 53.6 kWh is provided (the power reserve on a single charge is 420 km, when calculated according to the CLTC cycle), in the second — 68.8 kWh (510 km). For these SUVs, the maximum speed is electronically limited to 150 km/h.

Recall that Honda decided to leave the Russian market at the end of 2020. Despite the fact that the Japanese brand is not officially present here, the new generation CR-V crossover has finally reached the Russian Federation. As Kolesa.ru reported earlier, one of the major local dealers brought a batch of all-wheel drive SUVs with a 1.5-liter turbo engine under the parallel import scheme.
