In October last year, Honda China released its electric brand upgrade strategy, launching a new pure electric brand e:N, which will be followed by two joint ventures of Guangqi Honda and Dongfeng Honda. The online car market learned from the official of Gac Honda that it will release a new electric brand on March 29, when it will announce the brand strategy, opening a new prelude to the electrification field of GAC Honda, and GAC Honda will also become the first car company in the joint venture brand to establish a separate pure electric brand.
As Guangqi Honda's first pure electric SUV to hang the "H" logo, the e:NP1 is based on the "e:N Architecture F" front-drive platform, the overall shape is similar to the new Binzhi, the "H" shaped logo can be lit, the side is integrated into the coupe style design, the rear is equipped with a through-light group, the car is equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument and a 15.2-inch vertical central control screen, which is equipped with Honda CONNECT 3.0 intelligent interconnection system.
The new car is equipped with a high-density ternary lithium battery with a capacity of 68.8 kWh jointly developed by Honda and CATL, and the NEDC pure electric mileage exceeds 500 km. It is reported that new cars will enter the market as soon as May this year.
At present, Honda is mainly engaged in hybrid models in China, but with the acceleration of electrification in the global automotive market, Honda has also had to make compromises. Previously, Zheng Heng, executive deputy general manager of Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd., said that in the future, Guangqi Honda will also introduce 5 e:N series electric vehicles, and will continue to increase the sales ratio of existing hybrid models, including PHEV models. In 2024, GUANGQI Honda will have a new electrification plant put into operation, and through these initiatives, it will be as close as possible to the goal of carbon neutrality.
