Honda Kills Three EVs, And The Acura RSX Is One Of Them

Posted on
  • Development of the Honda 0 SUV and 0 Sedan has stalled.
  • The Acura NSX will also not reach production.
  • Honda cited low demand for electric vehicles in the United States.

Less than a year ago Honda reinvented the Acura RSX as an electric crossover, but the EV died before it could come to life. It was scheduled to go on sale later this year, but that’s no longer the case. Along with the two electric vehicles bearing the Honda logo, the RSX was officially discontinued. Development has stalled, and the market launch has been canceled altogether.

Honda’s 0 SUV and 0 Sedan also experienced a downturn due to slower-than-expected electric vehicle adoption in North America. All three models were supposed to be sold in the United States, but that is no longer the case. The company said other options were considered before the decision to discontinue the three EVs was made. In essence, Honda wants to cut its losses, assuming the three models aren’t popular enough to justify the investment.

“Honda determined that initiating production and sales of these three models in the current business environment where demand for electric vehicles has declined significantly would likely result in further losses in the long term.”

<p>Following the cancellation of these three models, Honda is predicted to take a big hit. They estimate losses at ¥2.5 trillion, which is almost $15.8 billion at current exchange rates. All three models were supposed to be assembled at the Marysville Auto Plant in Ohio and use a platform developed in-house, rather than working with General Motors, as was the case with the Acura ZDX.</p>
