As one of the representative brands of Japanese cars, Honda Motor has always been in a very high position in the long history of automobiles for many years. Honda's Honda CR-V, Honda Accord and other models have considerable sales in the global market, and are favored by consumers in the domestic market. However, with the trend of the global automotive market transitioning to electrification in recent years, it seems that Honda has not grasped the general trend of this market very well. In terms of electric vehicles, Honda has been tepid, in addition to the previous launch of the current Honda XR-V pure electric version, it seems that there is not much sense of existence, but even if it is this car, it is difficult to escape the title of "oil to electricity", it can be said that many honda loyal fans for Honda in the field of new energy vehicles, is really a little disappointed.
However, just a few days ago, Honda Automobile also finally released a big move, I don't know if it was premeditated, just in the night when the world situation changed and led to a sharp rise in domestic oil prices, Dongfeng Honda also opened the pre-sale of e: NS1 in the domestic market, and the pre-price of this car is also between 180,000-210,000 yuan. I have to say that the opening of pre-sale of this model in the domestic market is not only a big move released by Honda Automobile for a long time, but also the first cannon of Honda Automobile to officially open the electrification layout.
However, what we are talking about today is not this model that has begun to be pre-sold in China, but its "brother" model - an electrified version of the next-generation CR-V, the Honda e:Ny1 electric prototype. Honda officials also revealed two new crossovers that it plans to launch to the European market in the near future, one is a pure electric model, and the other is a hybrid model.
Although this electric crossover is the smaller of the two cars, this is a more noteworthy model. As can be seen in the exposed photos, the overall design of this car is very similar to the European HR-V, retaining more of the classic design language of the Honda SUV family, this car has a fully enclosed grille design, with its beautiful headlights on both sides, which is enough to highlight the characteristics of this new energy model. In addition, the Honda Peugeot in the center of the front of the car seems to have a tendency to shine, which can be said to be full of technology.
Honda Europe President Katsuhisa Okuda also said in a speech that this new B-class pure electric SUV model will be officially launched in 2023, and in the future production line of Honda, this car will also become the core of the world. According to its official sources, this car is not only very technological in appearance, but also combines Honda's well-known quality and technology, as well as its powerful power. According to the current news, after the mass production of this car, it will surely set off a storm in the world's pure electric car market.
Given that Honda's current substantive actions in electrification have been thrown away by other car brands, the future launch of this car is also another demonstration of Honda's determination to take the electric lead. The next generation of Honda's classic model CR-V will also provide full hybrid and plug-in hybrid configurations for the first time in Europe in 2023 for consumers to choose, it can be said that Honda cars still have a very difficult road to go on the road to electrification, let's wait and see.
