The Honda e:N2, also called the Honda Insight in Japan and Honda e:NP2 / e:NS2 in China, are battery electric compact crossover SUVs produced since 2024 by GAC Honda and Dongfeng Honda, which are joint ventures of Honda in China. The e:NP2 went on sale in April 2024, while the e:NS2 followed in June 2024.[1]
Overview
[edit]The e:NP2 and e:NS2 were previewed several times prior to its introduction. In November 2022, the models are previewed as a single concept car, the Honda e:N2 Concept.[2] In April 2023 at the Auto Shanghai, the models are previewed again as two concept vehicles named the Honda e:NP2 Prototype and Honda e:NS2 Prototype.[3] In November 2023 at the Auto Guangzhou, both vehicles appeared as production-ready vehicles.[4] The e:NP2, with a Chinese name (Chinese: 极湃2; pinyin: Jí pài 2; lit. 'Extreme Pai 2') went on sale in April 2024 with one trim level available.[5]
The e:NP2 and e:NS2 are the same vehicle with several alterations on the front and rear fascias. Both are based on the e:N Architecture F, a front-wheel drive-based electric vehicle platform by Honda, and come equipped with a 68.8 kWh lithium-ion battery sourced from CATL and a single front-mounted electric motor producing 150 kW (204 PS; 201 hp).[6] Under CLTC standards, the vehicle has an electric range of 545 km (339 mi).
