While the electric car revolution continues at full speed, the investments of giant companies in this sector continue. For example; In a news we shared with you months ago, we mentioned that Honda and Sony cooperated and that they would produce electric cars within the scope of this cooperation. A few months ago, brand new information was shared about this cooperation. Now, there has been a new development regarding the Sony-Honda partnership.
Senior executives of the company founded by Honda and Sony made remarkable statements about the company’s first electric car. The statements made reveal what kind of electric car we will encounter as a result of the partnership. If you wish, without further ado, let’s look at the new explanations.

In the statements made by Yasuhide Mizuno, one of the senior managers of the joint venture, it was officially announced when the electric car to be developed by Honda and Sony would be ready. According to Mizuno, 2025 will be an important turning point for the electric transformation in the US auto market, and when that day comes, they will be in competition. In other words, Honda and Sony’s electric car will officially enter the US market in 2025. Consumers in Japan will have the opportunity to meet this vehicle in 2026.
Izumi Kawanishi, one of the senior managers appointed by Sony, touched on the details of the interior of the vehicle. In this context; He stated that safe driving systems are progressing a little more every day, and that the adaptation to driving is gradually decreasing and will continue to decrease. Mentioning that they cannot ignore this, Kawanishi stated that they are looking for new ways for passengers to have fun in the vehicle.
Joint venture’s electric car will feature notable features
When we look at the official statements, we see that the electric car that Sony and Honda will produce will have remarkable features. For example, this car will have a level 3 autonomous driving system. In addition, this car will have special software developed by Sony. This software will offer monthly subscription for some features.
However, details such as on which platform the electric car belonging to the joint venture will be built, what kind of battery and engine it will have, remain a mystery. The only thing we know about the car technically is that it will be produced in one of Honda’s factories in the USA. We expect to learn more about this topic in the coming years.
