Only a week in the past, we might have mentioned Honda had a protracted solution to go on electrification if anybody requested. It is now a distinct story. In the present day, Honda announced that it had hit its mark by making the newest Honda Civic Hatchback the ultimate mannequin in its totally electrified European vary by the top of this 12 months. Evidently, they had been fairly early to that objective. It is solely March, in any case.

Way more importantly, nevertheless, is the truth that three new Honda-branded EVs will likely be hitting the European market by 2023. First, there will be an as-yet-unannounced SUV primarily based on the e:Ny1 prototype you see beneath, a brand new hybrid SUV, and at last, a brand new Honda CR-V.

For now let’s give attention to the e:Ny1 prototype. It will match into the vary above different electrified fashions like that new electrified Civic we talked about above. It has been some time since we have seen the e:Ny1 idea, which was final proven in Beijing two years in the past. Again then, it seemed way more like an idea automotive than the rendering you see. The roofline was more BMW X6 than full-size SUV, and it additionally sported a extra unconventional 3-door design.

Nonetheless, we are able to see that Honda determined to try to hold onto slightly of that, with the rear door handles now hidden within the surrounding c-pillar trim. Sadly, the remainder of the main points on the e:Ny1 are fairly slim. We all know it is electrical, and we all know it is an SUV. Anything should wait.
