Sony Honda Mobility announced today that it is discontinuing development and launch of the Afeela 1 and a second Afeela model that had been in the works.
Honda’s bombshell announcement that it is pulling the plug on its planned North American EV lineup has sent shockwaves through the auto industry, and there’s a particular piece of collateral damage that hits close to home for Gran Turismo fans: the Afeela 1.
Polyphony Digital and Sony Honda Mobility have jointly announced a livery design competition for the Afeela 1 electric vehicle, running in Gran Turismo 7 for the next three weeks.
The Afeela 1, a Sony-designed car developed in collaboration with Honda, is available to reserve now ahead of its planned arrival on the US market in mid-2026 and priced from $89,900.
Four years on from revealing potentially its first ever vehicle, the Vision S, Sony has shown off its updated production prototype and announced that it will be coming to Gran Turismo 7 later in 2024.
