Guide to Viewing the Sony Honda Afeela CES 2026 Event

Anticipations for the Next Afeela Model and Concept Car

Approaching swiftly is the 2026 CES event headlined by Sony, but with a unique twist this year. Rather than the foundational expositions on Sony's mainstream electronics and entertainment enterprises, there is a spotlight specifically on electric vehicles. Why the deviation? It spotlights Sony Honda Mobility, the collaborative venture behind the Afeela 1 electric car, which has been a mainstay of CES displays in recent years. Attendees will get a look at a completely new concept vehicle.

Insights on Sony Afeela's Showcase at CES

Since it made its debut as the Vision-S at CES 2020, the Afeela 1 has undergone various updates. However, despite confirmations of significant features, such as its starting price of $89,900, the model has not dispelled initial skepticism. Automotive expert Tim Stevens from Engadget previously commented that the model feels outdated in style and feature compared to more contemporary models, suggesting it lacks modern innovation.

Still, the spotlight won't only be on the Afeela 1. The exhibit will also present several pre-production versions of this model in different shades, in addition to unveiling an entirely fresh concept design. This update was confirmed through a press release by Sony Honda Mobility.

Interestingly, the Afeela is set to be a pioneer by allowing PlayStation Remote Play, enabling gamers to stream their PS4 or PS5 games directly from their cars. This feature builds on the advancements seen with the PlayStation Portal, heralding a new kind of interactive vehicle entertainment.

We are eager to uncover more innovations at the CES 2026, especially with the introduction of the new concept car. Alongside these automobile advancements, there's hope to catch a glimpse of new Sony Electronics releases slated for 2026.
