Honda is betting big on Las Vegas this week with two new fully electric cars set to hit UK showrooms next year.
The Japanese automaker has made a splash at the US city’s annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) with prototypes of a boxy but curvaceous SUV and a dramatic Lamborghini-style sedan.
Competition: The low-slung flagship Honda 0 Saloon is a contender to take on Tesla’s Model S
The upright mid-size Honda 0 SUV will land first as a rival to Tesla’s new Model Y ‘Juniper’ and the G6 crossover from Chinese newcomer Xpeng. And the low-slung Honda 0 Saloon flagship is a contender to take on Tesla’s Model S.
Both new cars promise a range of more than 300 miles. Honda says it will be the first to offer Level 3 ‘eye-off’ automated driving, but it is expected this will only be available in heavy highway traffic and where local law allows it.
As modern cars become increasingly hi-tech and digital, the Vegas-based CES has become a major showcase for new models.
