Honda’s Future Electric Vehicles to Mimic Sounds from Iconic Petrol-Powered Cars

Honda may be trailing some of its rivals in the electric vehicle (EV) space, but it is catching up quickly with the development of its all-new 0 Series range of battery-electric vehicles. This upcoming lineup will be heavily influenced by the Honda Saloon concept, which debuted earlier this year and will include innovative features designed to mimic the driving experience of traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. One of the standout characteristics of these EVs will be artificial sounds and vibrations that replicate the sensation of driving a petrol-powered car.

In the evolving EV market, where differentiation is becoming more challenging due to the nature of electric powertrains, software is playing a critical role. Unlike the clear distinctions that once existed between a four-cylinder engine and a V10, electric motors are far more uniform in their characteristics. To address this, Honda is developing software solutions that will give their EVs unique personalities, helping them stand out in a crowded market.

Isuzu D-Max Breaks Record with 2,000km Fuel Efficiency Feat

Long regarded as a benchmark for fuel efficiency, the Isuzu D-Max has once again proven its unmatched capabilities. Three units of the latest Isuzu D-Max successfully completed an incredible 2,000km journey using only the fuel from their 76-litre tanks, demonstrating the enduring fuel economy of these versatile pick-up trucks.

This achievement builds on the D-Max’s previous fuel-sipping record, which saw the truck travel 1,809km from Bangkok to Singapore on a single tank of diesel. More recently, an Isuzu 1.9-litre Single Cab model loaded with one tonne of weight completed a challenging journey of over 1,000km, conquering three mountains, each rising over 1,000 meters in elevation, using just one tank of fuel.

In this latest feat, Isuzu Malaysia’s Dura Miles Challenge tested the endurance of three models: the 1.9-litre 4×2 Auto Plus, the 1.9-litre 4×4 Auto Premium, and the premium 3.0-litre 4×4 X-Terrain. The vehicles embarked on a journey from Phitsanulok, Thailand, to Klang, Selangor, covering 2,000km without refuelling. The test marked the first time the new third-generation Isuzu D-Max was put to such a test. These 2024 models, equipped with Euro 4 engines, boast enhanced power and superior fuel efficiency alongside a stylish, aerodynamic design.
