Sony Honda Mobility AFEELA 1 EV – Behind the Wheel

The highly anticipated Sony Honda Mobility AFEELA 1 EV represents a watershed moment in automotive partnerships, merging Sony’s technological prowess with Honda’s manufacturing expertise.

After seeing the development over the years at CES in Las Vegas, I was excited for some dedicated time with the production version.

History of the AFEELA

This all-electric mid-size liftback emerges from years of development, beginning with Sony’s Vision-S concept, and promises to deliver a technology-forward approach to personal mobility.

Measuring 193.5 inches in length—approximately two inches shorter than a Honda Accord but with a wheelbase nearly seven inches longer—the vehicle’s proportions emphasize interior volume.

Exterior Design

The AFEELA 1’s interior represents the convergence of automotive design and consumer electronics, featuring a door-to-door digital dashboard that evokes the interface aesthetics of PlayStation consoles.

Interior Cabin and Technology Integrations

The AFEELA 1 employs a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain configuration with identical 241-horsepower (180 kW) motors at both front and rear axles, yielding a combined output of 483 horsepower (360 kW/490 PS).

The Powertrain

Energy storage comes via a 91 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that provides an EPA-estimated range of approximately 300 miles.
