Back in April 2020, Honda entered into a strategic partnership with General Motors (GM) to co-develop two new electric vehicles, including the Honda Prologue, based on GM’s EV platform. And now, the two companies have announced their intent to further expand this alliance by codeveloping a series of affordable electric vehicles (EVs) based on an all-new shared global architecture that will be powered by next-generation Ultium battery technology. The first product under this new collaboration will be launched in 2027.
Details about the upcoming products are scarce at the moment, but one of the upcoming EVs will be a compact crossover.
