TOKYO -- Honda Motor Co. unveiled the second model in its new China-only electric vehicle lineup on Saturday, targeting the fast-growing, battery-driven car segment in the world's largest auto market.
The Japanese automaker said last year it planned to roll out EV models under a new brand called "e:N Series" over the next five years with partners GAC and Dongfeng Motor. It began selling the first model in China in April.
The e:N2 Concept, introduced Saturday at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai, features sharp body styling and metallic surfaces. With the EV concept, Honda said it aims to "present new styling that does not belong to any existing categories."
"Honda is transforming itself into an electric brand in China with a series of unique and diverse electric mobility products that only Honda can offer," Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe said in a statement.
