Honda will present its new electric car at the beginning of October. The mysterious vehicle is made from recycled plastic and promises to be environmentally friendly.

Honda recently announced a comprehensive schedule for the event Japan Mobility Show 2023, where he has plans to make several world premieres. The main highlight will be its environmentally friendly electric car called Specialty Sports Concept, for which the automaker has not yet released teasers or images.

Honda electric car may have connection with the Sports EV Concept

The details of environmentally friendly vehicleand are shrouded in mystery, even though we know it will be all-electric and fun to drive, even though it won't have an internal combustion engine. A Honda claims that the joy of driving and distinctive individuality of this model will make it possible for people to transcend their everyday lives.

Enthusiasts must wait to find out if the new environmentally friendly electric car has any connection to the Sports EV Concept, despite it already being six years old, having debuted at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show.

World premieres planned for the Japan Mobility Show

The other world premieres scheduled for this year's Japan Mobility Show are a little less exciting. Coming in red with a white roof, the cute SUSTANIA-C Concept looks like a Honda and is smaller in size with a body made of acrylic resin that can be recycled and reused. It's the same story with the Pocket Concept, a pint-sized motorcycle designed with a focus on environmental sustainability, wasting fewer resources.

As for the CI-MEV, it takes the form of a two-seater electric hatchback car focused on last-mile mobility and equipped with automated driving technology.

Finally, the SC e: Concept has a name that may make consumers think of Renault's naturally aspirated gasoline engines, however it is an electric motorcycle with interchangeable batteries. It receives power from a pair of Honda Mobile Power Pack and units.

Honda brings Prologue Prototype at the event’s debut 

The Japan Mobility Show 2023 will begin on October 25th with the first press day. Honda is also bringing the Prologue Prototype for its local debut. Already the Mitsubishi is present at the event to unveil a new lifestyle vehicle.

It is important to highlight that Honda joins the Chinese automaker to launch a new brand of electric cars. Automakers such as Volkswagen, Toyota and others already have consortiums in China. However, according to data, with Lingxi, Honda will be the first to launch an entirely original brand.

Together, the Chinese and Japanese automakers plan to be at the forefront of the sector, with a powerful consortium to dominate the Chinese market. This is because Lingxi will cover the main electrified sectors: pure electric cars, hybrids and plug-in hybrids.

Honda launches electric car e:Ny1

In May, Honda, a multinational automaker founded in Japan, presented its second electric car for the European market this week.

The vehicle, which was named Honda e:Ny1, is an electric SUV based on the new dedicated platform and with a look practically the same as the well-known HR-V. Therefore, it is a European version for the Honda e:NS1/ e:NP1 models launched on the Chinese market. 

In this way, Honda fulfills the promise made in 2022 to expand its line of electric cars on the Old Continent. Those more familiar with the Chinese electric car market will recognize that this model is essentially the same as the Honda e:NS1/e:NP1 sold in the world's largest vehicle market. With the new electric car, it is a new platform called e Architecture F.
