The traditional side mirrors and thicker roof extending towards an active rear spoiler enhance its transition from a concept vehicle to actual production, with clear hints of influence from the Lucid Air and Toyota Crown in its overall design. (AFP)

The Afeela features an all-wheel drive system with a total output of 482 horsepower, thanks to its two permanent magnet synchronous motors on the front and rear axles, each producing 241 horsepower. The company also allows for battery charging up to 150 kW on DC chargers, potentially enabling an 80% charge in under 30 minutes. (AFP)

The Afeela electric vehicle also boasts a luxurious interior with significant updates from the prototype. New features include a larger central console with two wireless charging pads, as well as the use of artificial intelligence for driver assistance systems. The vehicle will utilize the Vision Transformer model for route planning, with a backup system to ensure safety. These systems will also rely on Qualcomm chips. (AFP)

Sony Honda Mobility has collaborated with Epic Games to provide immersive screens inside the car capable of simulating external environmental conditions. These screens will use the Unreal Engine 5.3, potentially leading to more advanced gaming experiences while on the move than ever before. (AFP)
