Central to the Ye Series is the adoption of Honda's new "H mark," specifically designed for the brand's next-generation EV lineup. These models are built upon a newly developed dedicated EV platform, tailored for the Chinese market, and incorporate advanced electrification technology. Moreover, Honda says that it will integrate intelligence technologies, such as an AI-powered assistant, to enhance the driving experience and functionality of these vehicles.

The Ye P7 and Ye S7 offer two configurations: one-motor rear-wheel drive and two-motor four-wheel drive. In terms of design, both models kind of have a unified exterior, which translates to sleek black pillars, flush door handles, and cameras that replace the traditional rearview mirror. Inside the cabin, it incorporates intelligent features, including LED emission pattern changes synchronized with AI assistance functions. The Ye P7 and Ye S7 models are slated to be launched in China by the end of 2024.

On the other hand, the Ye GT Concept has a low and wide silhouette that is reminiscent of that of the Grand Tourer vehicles. The concept introduces features like a far-focus display for the front-seat passenger, creating something that Honda says is a private theatre experience.

Looking ahead, Honda plans to introduce a total of 10 EV models in China by 2027, building on the foundation laid by the e:NS1 and e: NP1 models introduced in 2022, with production models based on the Ye GT Concept slated for release by the end of 2025.
