The Honda e:NP2 and Honda e:NS2 are battery electric low-roof compact crossover SUV ( C-segment) produced since 2024 by GAC Honda and Dongfeng Honda respectively, which are joint ventures of Honda in China. Both vehicles are marketed solely in China. The e:NP2 went on sale in April 2024, while the e:NS2 will follow in June 2024. [1]
