Honda Reveals 3 New EV Concepts, Confirms 2 Bound For Production

Honda has revealed two new electric prototypes at Auto Shanghai 2023, giving us a glimpse at what Honda has planned for the electrified future. These models, the e:NP2 and e:NS2 were showcased alongside a concept known as the e:N SUV Prologue, the latter of which previews the next generation of Honda e:N Series models. This is not to be confused with the US-bound Honda Prologue EV.

These new EVs show that Honda is serious about transitioning to battery-powered vehicles. In fact, the company claims it will continue to enhance the new e:N lineup as it aims to sell only electric vehicles in China by 2035.

The e:NP2 and e:NS2 models share a similar profile, although both models sport distinctive front fascias. The electric pair appear to be coupe SUVs, although Honda describes the design as combining "the excellent utility of SUVs and sleek form of sedans."

Not many details have been shared, but the automaker claims they will deliver an enjoyable driving experience that gives the driver "a sense of oneness" with the vehicles. As for the interior, expect a modern and minimalist design with Honda Connect 4.0.

Even though they're similar, Honda says both models were designed from a respective vision. The e:NP2 (seen below) exudes a more sophisticated persona, while the e:NS2 (pictured above) is described as a more dynamic, emotional design that will excite people when they first see the vehicle. While similar, the two vehicles may be used to appeal to different demographics with a fundamentally similar product - a common idea in Asian motoring.

Honda first unveiled the electric series in 2021; the range includes the e:N2 (a sleek and futuristic sedan) and several crossovers. The company has even teased a pair of all-electric sports cars previously, although their place in the e:N lineup is unconfirmed.
