On April 25th, Honda R&D (China) Investment Co., Ltd. held an online event themed “Reshaping EV Driving Pleasure” for the Honda e:N brand.
Last October, Honda China launched a new pure electric vehicle brand, e:N, with e:NS1 and e:NP1 as its first products, mainly developed by young Honda engineers in China based on the e:N Architecture F platform.
Performance
This platform belongs to the front-wheel-drive platform and will be applied to small and medium-sized cars. The e:N Architecture F platform also uses a three-in-one high-power motor, but the specific parameters of this motor are currently unknown. Honda claims that “the motor control program integrates more than 20,000 scene algorithms, which is more than 40 times that of ordinary pure electric vehicles.” In actual vehicle models, this translates into a “motion sickness-free” and easier-to-control experience.
In addition, with the sport mode, the Honda EV Sound brings an exhilarating acceleration experience to the driver.
Intelligence
The first product is equipped with e:N OS, which is not a Honda-developed vehicle operating system, but an integrated system consisting of Honda SENSING and Honda CONNECT:
-
The human-computer interaction part includes a 15.1-inch ultra-thin border control screen, a 10.25-inch color full LCD digital instrument panel, and a streaming media rearview mirror;
-
Honda CONNECT 3.0 is a pure electric vehicle exclusive version, incorporating over 20 functions such as AI voice assistant, car-home interconnection, energy management, and OTA online upgrade;
-
The DMC driver status perception system can detect changes in emotions and give active reminders, which, combined with AR navigation and panoramic automatic parking functions, addresses both intelligent and safe driving experiences.
The e:N S1 from Dongfeng Honda will officially go on sale tomorrow (April 26), and the e:N P1 from GAC Honda will be available for pre-order in May.
