Honda’s latest EV concept is China-only, but hopefully not for long.

China is the hotbed of all things EV, and all things sedan, so it’s a no-brainer that Honda’s latest EV concept is a sedan aimed at the Chinese market. Dubbed the e:N2, this EV concept is a continued shape of what’s to come and what we should expect out of a fully electric Honda.

The e:N2 is the latest in Honda’s EV lineup. Currently already on sale in China, sits the e:NS1, a restyled and electrified version of the Honda HR-V that the rest of the world gets. Most significant in the e:N2, is that it’s not a converted gas car underneath, but instead supposed to be the first iteration of Honda’s own self-developed EV exclusive platform. Called e:N Architecture F, the vehicle architecture is supposed to imbue Honda’s EV efforts with a fun-to-drive spirit, without sacrificing utility.

The blocky silhouette is unlike anything we’ve seen from Honda. We can’t see too much, after all, it is still a teaser, but the shape is reminiscent of old three-box sedans of yore, with geometric details and flat surfacing not seen on Honda’s current lineup of cars.

Currently, the e:N Architecture is rumored to be China-only, but given Honda’s intentions to develop and release its own EV efforts, that could possibly change. Its first US-centric EV, the Prologue, is based on the GM Ultium platform. Whatever the case, the Honda e:N2 is part of Honda’s plan to release 10 different EV models in China in the next five years.
