Shanghai 2021: Honda Showcases Its Own All-Electric SUV Concept

Toyota wasn't the only Japanese automaker to showcase its first all-electric SUV at the Shanghai Auto Show that opened yesterday. Honda revealed a new concept called – wait for it – the Honda e: prototype SUV. Which conveniently describes exactly what it is: an all-electric sport utility vehicle concept.

This latest creation follows the Honda e small electric hatchback, which has had many watchers swooning since its presentation last year. The same formula, applied to an SUV, was the logical next step. And the presentation of the vehicle in China is not a coincidence. In fact, Honda has big plans for electrification in that market. The company says its concept is the first of 10 all-electric products it plans to introduce in China over the next five years.

While the model itself was put on display, Honda did not reveal anything in terms of technical specifications.
