Sony reasoned THIS EV ambitions with five yearsbut now the company is ready to sell you a car. Via Sony Honda Mobility, you can now reserve a car with a fee of $200. The car that used to be the Vision-S and Vision-S 02 become something you can buy. Now known as the Afeela 1, the EV features several convenience updates, including an in-vehicle assistant and updated interior design.
There are two models, the Afeela 1 Origin and the Afeela 1 Signature, priced at $89,900 and $109,900 respectively. Initially, reservations are only available for customers in California, but the first vehicles won’t be delivered until mid-2026. That’s the more expensive version of the Signature, with the Origin trim following in 2027. Both versions come with a three-year subscription to essential services, which include Level 2+ ADAS known as Afeela Intelligent Drive, immersive entertainment, the Afeela Personal Agent and more yet. Other features are a selection of media apps, 3D maps, spatial sound and 5G connectivity.
We’ll take a closer look at the near-final Afeela 1 tomorrow, so you can expect detailed impressions of the redesigned car and its features later this week.
