What you’re looking at is the Everus EV Concept, a
vehicle spawned from the joint venture between Honda and Guangzhou Automobile
Group (GAC). Unveiled at the ongoing Beijing Auto Show, the vehicle previews
the first mass-production EV which Honda will develop exclusively for the
Chinese market.
The Everus EV Concept is
similar in size to the Honda HR-V and also adopts a number of familiar design
elements from that model, including the aggressive crease running along the
doors, a similar roofline, largely identical A-, B-, and C-pillars and
taillights that also bulge out of the rear flanks.
Honda hasn’t said how similar the production model
will look to this concept but asserts that local sales of the model will
commence before the end of the year.
Those consumers not willing to purchase the Everus
EV will have the opportunity to drive it through a car-sharing service offered
by Reachstar, a Chinese company with expertise in car sharing services. The Everus EV Concept forms part of Honda’s plan to
present more than 20 new electrified models before the end of 2025.
