The newly launched 2025 Honda P7 electric SUV has officially hit the market with an impressive 469 horsepower and a range of over 650 km (403 miles) from its 89.8-kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery. What’s even more surprising is the price point, making it a highly competitive option in the electric vehicle market.
Originally showcased as a concept at the debut of Honda’s Ye brand a year ago, the P7 is a collaboration between Honda and local automakers Dongfeng and GAC. The S7 model, produced by Dongfeng, shares many similarities with the P7 in terms of performance and design. Both models offer exceptional range and power, making them desirable options in the EV segment.
The AWD version of the Honda P7 boasts a range of 620 km (385 miles), while the RWD version can travel up to 650 km (403 miles) on a single charge. The dimensions of the P7, measuring 4,750 mm long, 1,930 mm wide, and 1,625 mm tall with a 2,930 mm wheelbase, closely mirror those of the S7. The interior of the P7 is a blend of modern technology, featuring a mix of screens, buttons, and sleek sideview monitors.
To distinguish the P7 from its S7 counterpart, the P7 sports C-shaped lighting elements that set it apart from the S7’s X-shaped lights. This gives the P7 a distinct “Honda” look that appeals to consumers in the Chinese market. The pricing for the P7 starts at 199,900 yuan (approximately $27,200) for the RWD variant and 249,900 yuan (about $34,000) for the AWD model, making it a more affordable option compared to the Tesla Model Y.
With advanced ADAS features and competitive pricing, the Honda P7 is poised to make a significant impact in the EV market. Whether it can compete with the likes of the Tesla Model Y remains to be seen, but its impressive performance and affordability make it a strong contender in the electric SUV segment.
