Honda has released a briefing summary for its auto electrification business. With that comes the teaser of two new electric sports cars that will join the lineup. The announcement came with a teaser image, which you can see at the top of this page.
The vehicle in the teaser image is still a secret, although the one on the right looks like the successor to the current Honda NSX (or Acura NSX in the US).
As we all know, the mid-engine hybrid sports coupe is on its way to retirement, but it has been rumored since last year that it will return as an all-electric model, hinted by Acura Vice President and Brand Officer Jon Ikeda himself.
Is this our first look at the upcoming Honda NSX EV? We’ll see, but we wouldn’t be surprised if we did. The only mystery now is another vehicle on the left, which appears to be a grand tourer. Honda says that the two electric sports cars will be special and flagship models, and will be introduced globally.
Honda also shared some insights on its updated EV plans, specifically for the introduction of the EV market in three key markets: North America, China, and Japan.
In North America, Honda will introduce two medium-to-large EVs in 2024, which are currently being co-developed with GM – Honda’s all-new Prolog SUV and new EV SUV for Acura. In China, Honda will introduce a total of 10 new EV models by 2027. For Japan, Honda is looking at a commercial mini-EV model in early 2024, then a personal use mini-EV and an SUV EV.
In the second half of the 2020s, Honda is looking to introduce an affordable EV (starting in North America) by 2027 through its alliance with GM. The automaker will also start adopting the Honda e:Architecture in 2026.
Overall, Honda plans to introduce 30 EV models globally by 2030. Production volume is targeted at more than 2 million units per year. An all-solid-state battery is also in development – a move similar to what Nissan has announced recently.
