The Afeela 1, an electric sedan spawned under the joint venture of Sony Honda Mobility (SHM) is getting close to production. The brand took the opportunity of CES 2025 to announce the pricing for the electric vehicle along with the official model name. The car is expected to reach consumers by mid-2026 with a price tag of $89,900 (around Rs 75,91,758) for the Origin trim. Meanwhile, the relatively expensive Signature trim comes at $102,900 ( around Rs 86,84,718). It is to be noted that the production of the EV is scheduled to begin in Ohio.
The Afeela 1's aesthetic appeal lies in its minimalist design. It has an exterior without any decorative lines to create a sleek appearance. This design is further complemented by a front fascia which consists of a light covering the length of the vehicle complemented by an Afeela badge. The rear end follows a similar pattern with darkened tail lights. The design is complemented by paint scheme options like Calm White, Core Black, and Tidal Gray.
