Honda is betting big in Las Vegas this week with two new all-electric cars due to hit UK showrooms next year.
The Japanese automaker has wowed the American city’s annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) with prototypes of a boxy but curvy SUV and a spectacular Lamborghini-like sedan.
Competition: Low-slung flagship Honda 0 Saloon is a contender to take on Tesla’s Model S
The mid-sized upright 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 flagship Honda 0 Saloon is a contender to take on Tesla’s Model S.
Both new cars promise a range of more than 300 miles. Honda says they will be the first to offer Level 3 “unobserved” automated driving; however, it is expected to only be available in congested highway traffic and where local laws permit.
As modern cars become increasingly digital and high-tech, the Las Vegas-based CES has become a major showcase for new models.
