Honda Created a GT, But It's Not What You Might Assume | Carscoops

      Honda's latest electric vehicle models boast a stylish appearance, although the interior design may require some adjustment time.

      Honda has unveiled two production versions of the GT concept for the Chinese market: the GAC Honda GT and the Dongfeng Honda GT, which feature different lighting but are manufactured together.

      The interiors of the GT models include digital door mirrors and four additional displays that could potentially distract drivers.

      If the term GT conjures images of high-performance luxury coupes like the Bentley Continental GT, Honda's latest offering may not spark the same excitement. However, if you're in the market for an attractive and affordable family EV with coupe-like qualities, and believe that more screens are advantageous, you might find much to appreciate in the two Hondas showcased at this week's Shanghai Auto Show.

      The GAC Honda GT (shown in red) and its counterpart, the Dongfeng Honda GT (in blue), share the same fundamental design. They are produced in the same facility in China for the local market, but they could easily be adapted for the U.S. market if not for the existing tariff issues.

      Both vehicles display an H logo (without any additional backing) under their blacked-out hoods and feature the Honda name on the front doors. The Dongfeng model sports Lamborghini Revuelto-inspired Y-shaped daytime running lights and taillights, while the GAC version opts for a two-tiered front LED setup and maintains level rear lights.

      Camera-based door mirrors are included, with digital screens conveying exterior images being just part of the six high-tech displays found in the cabin. The remaining displays feature a digital gauge cluster mounted high on the dashboard, a traditional central touchscreen, a phone-shaped touchscreen below it—likely for climate control—and a considerably larger, less aesthetically pleasing screen on the passenger side.

      The GTs represent the second generation of Honda's Ye EVs specifically designed for the Chinese market. Although Honda has not disclosed powertrain specifics, we can make some educated guesses based on the earlier Ye models, the S7 and P7 crossovers, which were launched in production form last year while the GT was still a concept.

      These EVs can generate 268 hp (272 PS / 200 kW) in a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive configuration, or 469 hp (476 PS / 350 kW) with dual motors and all-wheel drive. Some reports from Chinese media suggest that the GT models will also feature single and dual-motor options, with the single-motor variants achieving a 50:50 weight distribution.
