Honda is betting big in Las Vegas this week with two new all-electric cars set to reach UK showrooms next year.
The Japanese car-maker has wowed the US city’s annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) with prototypes of a boxy but curvaceous SUV and a dramatic Lamborghini-like saloon.
Competition: The low-slung flagship Honda 0 Saloon is a contender to take on Tesla’s Model S
The upright, mid-sized Honda 0 SUV is set to land first as a rival to Tesla’s new Model Y ‘Juniper’ and Chinese newcomer Xpeng’s G6 crossover. And the low-slung flagship Honda 0 Saloon is a contender to take on Tesla’s Model S.
Both new cars promise more than 300-mile ranges. Honda says they will be the first to offer Level 3 ‘eyes-off’ automated driving – however it’s expected only to be available in congested motorway traffic and where local laws allow.
As modern cars become ever more hi-tech and digital, the Vegas-based CES in has grown into a major showcase for new models.
