Honda is set to unveil its latest electric vehicle lineup, the Ye Series, at this month's Beijing International Automotive Exhibition. Adding to the already available e:N Series EV lineup in China, these new vehicles are slated to hit the market before the year's end.
The initial offerings from the Ye Series include the Ye P7 and Ye S7 models. Both vehicles will ride on a newly developed EV platform, featuring options for single-motor, rear-wheel-drive, and dual-motor, all-wheel-drive configurations. Honda aims to differentiate the RWD variants by emphasizing sporty and agile handling, while the AWD versions are geared towards delivering high power and responsive handling.
Although the released photos provide only limited perspectives of the vehicles, they reveal similar overall silhouettes with distinct front fascia designs. The Ye S7 exhibits a slightly more athletic styling compared to its counterpart.
Looking ahead, Honda has outlined plans to introduce production models based on the Ye GT Concept. This concept vehicle showcases a coupe-like profile, resembling a compacted version of the S7, featuring a sharper front end, streamlined headlights, and a sleek, low-profile design. While specific details regarding the GT's specifications are scarce, Honda emphasizes its focus on delivering an unparalleled driving experience. Notably, it will mark the first Honda model to incorporate a large screen for the front seat passenger.
The Ye P7 and Ye S7 are scheduled for release before the close of the current year. Subsequently, production models inspired by the Ye GT Concept are expected to hit Chinese dealership floors by the end of 2025. As part of its strategic roadmap, Honda intends to introduce a total of 10 new EVs to the Chinese market by 2027, with six of them belonging to the Ye Series. This initiative underscores Honda's commitment to transitioning its product lineup towards full electrification in China by the year 2035.
