Recently, some overseas media revealed about Honda's product planning for 2023. In order to fulfill its commitment to fully electrify major models in Europe, Honda will launch up to nine models in the future.
At the same time, Honda also pointed out that Honda will take the e:Ny1 Prototype electric vehicle launched in 2023 as the core, which will lead the future product line. For Honda, this move is decisive for the next full electrification in 2025.
Before this time, the professor also reported that the 11th generation of Civic e:HEV models were first launched in the European market, the new car is equipped with a 2.0L Atkinson cycle engine + drive motor, the total hybrid system has a comprehensive power of 184Ps, a peak torque of 315N·m, and a thermal efficiency of up to 41%.
It is reported that in the future, the new generation of pure fuel version of the Civic will be sold on the same stage as the hybrid version, as far as possible to avoid the "one-size-fits-all" operation and affect the overall sales.
Perhaps the 11th generation Of Civic e:HEV is not as grumpy as the Honda Civic Type R in terms of performance, but for Honda, its presence indicates that Honda is actively transitioning from pure fuel to pure electrification.
After all, everything has to have a process, and hybrid will be a good transition product, I believe that there will be more e:HEV hybrid system new cars launched, even PHEV is no exception.
It is worth mentioning that Honda will also develop a new pure electric SUV, called e:Ny1 Prototype pure electric crossover SUV, but there is no more relevant information for reference.
But what is certain is that the pure electric crossover SUV of the e:Ny1 Prototype is the homologous product of the previously launched e:NS1 and e:NP1 in the Chinese market, and it can be seen through its styling design that it can be basically regarded as a pure electric version of the new generation of Honda HR-V.
In fact, in Honda's product planning, there is also a product equivalent to Honda's CR-V level, which also uses an e:HEV hybrid system in terms of power.
It can be inferred that the size of the new car will be between HR-V and CR-V, further improving the product range and providing consumers with more choices!
At the same time, Tom Gardner, Honda's vice president of Europe, also said that next year Honda will also launch a new C-class SUV to further expand the e:HEV product lineup.
