Report: Sony-Honda venture plans SUV, Civic-sized affordable EV

Sony Honda Mobility is planning an electric SUV and affordable compact car in addition to its previously shown sedan, according to a new Nikkei Asia report.

The SUV will launch in 2027, followed by the compact car in 2028, the report said. Sony and Honda announced in 2022 that the sedan will be unveiled in 2025 under the Afeela brand name, with pre-orders starting then. U.S. deliveries are scheduled to start in 2026, and Nikkei Asia now reports a targeted base price equivalent to $66,400.

The SUV and compact will also reportedly be sold in the U.S., with all three models using the same platform to reduce costs and quicken development. The compact—which should be close in size to the current Honda Civic—will also share parts with a new generation of independently developed Honda EVs, according to the report, the first of which are also scheduled to arrive in 2026.
