Sony-Honda Afeela electric car priced at $89,900.

The Afeela electric vehicle, from Sony and Honda, is available for preorder in California, starting at $89,900, with innovative features.

Afeela is stepping out of just a feeling and into reality, folks! The electric vehicle from Sony and Honda is finally up for preorder after five long years. At CES, they dropped the prices: the Afeela 1 Origin is going for $89,900 and the Signature hits $102,900. Both trims come with a free three-year ride on in-car features, including Level 2+ driver assist and an AI personal assistant—all for a cool refundable $200 deposit, but only if you’re in California.

300 miles of EPA range and it's compatible with Tesla’s Supercharger network. The design? Think Tesla-meets-Lucid Air with a sleek dash of tech. It’s got screens galore, 40 sensors for autonomous driving, and a hint of augmented reality. So while the Signature trim starts delivering in 2026 and the Origin following in 2027, it’s pretty clear that Afeela is making serious moves in the luxury EV game. Can't wait to see what else Sony Honda Mobility has in store tomorrow!
