The production Ye P7 closely mirrors the concept vehicle unveiled earlier this year. Equipped with 479hp dual electric motors, it accelerates to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds. Pricing remains undisclosed, but the Ye P7 is expected to launch in coming months. In Western markets, Honda has lagged behind several competitors in the race to develop and launch compelling battery-electric vehicles. However, over in China, the automaker has been more agile in responding to shifting market trends.
The battery pack is a lithium-ion unit sourced from CATL. While we don’t yet know the capacity of this battery, we do know it drives a 201 hp front-mounted motor and a 268 hp rear-mounted motor. That’s enough to send the Ye P7 to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds, making it substantially quicker than a Civic Type R.
