The Sony car is almost here. After its creation via a joint venture with Honda in 2022 and two years’ worth of prototypes, the electronics giant’s Afeela brand is finally taking reservations for its first electric vehicle,

Between its sophisticated ADAS, mediocre specs, and high price, the Afeela 1 seems both a step behind the times and built for a future that hasn't come yet.

The Afeela 1 Origin and Signature trims are available to reserve in California for $200, with deliveries anticipated to start in 2026.

From price and range, to computing power and release date, everything we know so far about the upcoming Afeela 1 from Sony and Honda.

Sony Honda Mobility's ultra-high-tech Afeela 1 electric vehicle comes with a $90,000 price tag, which limits its market, and U.S dealers are disappointed in its direct-to-consumer sales model.

Honda showcased its Sony Honda AFEELA 1 EV, but while it highlights futuristic tech, there are four reasons it already seems doomed.

Packed with entertainment focused-tech and boasting big autonomous claims, Sony and Honda's joint-venture electric sedan is finally available to order.

But that turned out to be exactly the plan. Although Sony began developing its EV with the contract manufacturer (and tier 1 supplier) Magna Steyr, the car— now called the Afeela 1 —will be built by Honda, which formed a strategic alliance with Sony to create the aforementioned Sony Honda Mobility, which will sell the new car.
