That’s right. Honda calls this SUV e:concept and not the other way around. Unveiled at the Auto China 2020 in Beijing, the SUV e:concept will be Honda brand’s first battery electric vehicle (BEV) in China. Honda is not selling the tiny e hatchback in China, but instead, they’ll be offered this 2-door coupe-SUV.
The e:concept’s design might remind you of a few other vehicles such as Toyota Harrier (Venza) and Nissan Ariya from certain angles. The front has a narrow headlight setup connected by a light band, and the same setup is mimicked at the rear. The floating roof effect is emphasized with a chrome line. There’s no visible door handle or the ORVMs/cameras.

There’s nothing much in the cabin to look at except for a rectangular-ish steering and a floating centre console with a rotary dial. The rear occupants get a bench seat.
Honda says that the new EV will be equipped with the next-generation Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver-assistive systems with improved recognition, predication and decision-making performance, as well as the next-generation Honda Connect, which will feature an AI assistant interface.
