Honda launching new EV, hybrid crossovers in Europe next year:
Last week, CarBuzz dug up nine Honda patent applications with the European Union Intellectual Property Office that could signal a westward expansion of the automaker's aims. Honda's been showing conceptual electric vehicles in China over the last 18 months. At Auto Beijing in 2020 we saw the E:Concept two-door crossover. Come the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2021, the E had been shrunk to e for a redesigned, four-door electric crossover called the e:Prototype.
Honda didn't include e:Ny1 in the patent applications, which started with e:Ny2. Perhaps the first number was saved for conceptual use, because a few days later, Honda showed Europe an e:Ny1 prototype. Car magazine says it is pronounced"Anyone." It looks like the HR-V that Honda sells in Europe and Japan now, which itself looks like the e:Prototype Honda revealed in Shanghai last April.
Next year also sees the market launch of a hybrid, C-segment crossover that will be about the size of the current CR-V. It fills the space that will be abandoned by the new-generation CR-V, which will grow and offer hybrid and PHEV powertrains. We've read that the e represents Honda's eTechnology, the N stands for new or next. As for platforms, we know the front-driver is called the e:N Architecture F. All the electrified debuts slated for 2023, following new hybrid offerings like the European Civic Hybrid, will"set the course for the next generation of electrified Honda cars," according to Honda.
