Since "consumption upgrading" has become a domestic trend, the choice of the fuel version of the small car market has become less, and the market share has been significantly reduced, especially the Fit, POLO, Yaris (now YARIS) and other models have lost the aura of the year. However, entering the era of pure electricity, the micro/small car market seems to have achieved "return to the light" and become a new driving force in the market, allowing more and more car companies to reconsider this direction.
However, Honda Automobile has long built a pure electric car "Honda E", the vehicle adopts a new design, the new car has been listed in overseas markets as early as October 2020, but it has not been introduced into China for a long time.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts a very "silly" design, with black through-type trim panels with two circular light groups, which is very similar to the Great Wall Euler black cat as a whole, and even makes the black cat rumored to have the possibility of copying the former.
However, from the side of the body, Honda E and black cat still have a big gap, Honda E adopts a relative concept design, using streaming media rearview mirrors plus hidden door handles and suspended roofs, and the sense of fashion technology is quite high.
On the rear, the design of the shape corresponding to the front face is adopted, and it is still presented in two circular light clusters.
Entering the interior, the car has a penetrating joint screen design that is not equipped with ordinary small cars, and is composed of two 12.3-inch touch screens plus two rearview mirror displays, creating a super high-tech feeling.
With imitation wood veneer materials, the new car highlights a strong high-end texture, which is actually impossible to experience on many Honda high-end models. It can be guessed that although this new car is a miniature market, it is presumably the price of the new car must not be low.
According to the price of the official first launch in overseas markets, the starting price of the new car in Japan is as high as 4.51 million yen, equivalent to about 248,500 yuan.
Not only that, a mini-sedan of more than 200,000 people, its cruising range is only within 300 kilometers, a total of 283km and 259km versions have been launched, and this performance is only slightly better than the domestic Wuling Hongguang MINI EV.
The overseas version of the new car is pushed in two different power versions, with a maximum power of 100 kW and 113 kW respectively, and the peak torque is 300 Nm.
Looking at the current global market, it is indeed not easy to find a mini tram with such a high price. In this way, perhaps the Honda E is just a model that highlights Honda's vision of the new energy market.

I have to say that even if such a high-priced pure electric model really wants to come into the country, it may not have a good market, so it may be a really correct choice not to introduce it.
However, when the domestic pursuit of new energy vehicles is getting bigger and bigger, it also shows that the market is gradually shifting from the fuel market to the new energy market. Although the current Honda Fit still occupies the first position in the small market, it is not excluded that in two years, the demand for pure electric small cars will exceed that of fuel vehicles, and Honda will not have a "successor model" in the field of Pure Electric, which will presumably greatly reduce Honda's market share in China.
It is worth mentioning that the Honda E had appeared in the domestic market last year, but it has not seen the news of the domestic sale of the car.
Netizen 1: Is this budget to buy all versions of the Wuling MINI wheel?
Netizen 2: More than 200,000 to buy a micro electric daddy? Rich and willful or stupid and more money?
Netizen 3: Out of the fuel version! Selling Fit price sales is definitely not much worse!
Netizen 4: The first thing in china - no bottom line! It's nice to have speakers!
Netizen 5: The meaning of points > the significance of sales, over ~
Netizen 6: If it is really introduced, Honda will really overestimate the consumption power of the Chinese people.
