Honda revealed three brand-new EVs from its Ye Series ahead of the Beijing Motor Show
Japanese auto giant Honda has revealed a new series of EVs for China. All series electric cars will enter the Chinese EV market by 2027. Three of them will be showcased at the 2024 Beijing Motor Show scheduled for next week while the other three will join later to compete with the Ye Series of electric cars in China. These new EVs form the Japanese automaker will strengthen its presence in the country and make Honda a key play in China’s EV race.
What’s New?
All Ye models will feature a new flattened Honda ‘H’ badge on the front with white. Both GAC Honda and Dongfeng Honda are taking over operations this time for this series production. Both Honda’s P7 and S7 series of SUVs will go on sale in China by the end of 2024. Both e-SUVs offer single and dual motor setups with rear or four-wheel drive powertrain configurations. Honda stated both models will offer crisp performance and more responsive and sporty handling.
Design
The new Honda cars will offer an incredibly rich interior with an LED instrument cluster with baked-in AI assistant and a more upscale interior. Apart from the P7 and the S7 SUVs from the Ye Series, Honda also showcased the new GT Concept with its race-oriented dynamics and sportier stance. Although the company hasn’t shared any powertrain figures of the car, we expect the production soon and will go on sale in late 2025. The GT Concept previews a more upmarket appeal with its smooth-flowing roofline and modern interior.
Honda’s new Ye Series models took inspiration from the MM (Man Maximum, Machine Minimum) concept that delivers a more refined driving style for the ones who take joy in driving. These new electric vehicles will be sold alongside Honda’s e.N e-crossovers. Honda’s intention with the new Ye Series will help boost its presence in China in its EV development being among the major EV markets in the world.
Will they launch in India?
It is highly unlikely that Honda will launch these cars in India. Although the Japanese automaker is working on a new portfolio in India in the growing electric vehicle segment. Honda is developing a new Elevate-based EV, codenamed DG9D which is due for launch in 2026. The carmaker has big plans to make India its exporting EV hub, making 50-70% of sales produced in India going to Japan and other big markets.
