Sony’s Afeela car, developed in partnership with Honda, is an Audio Video showcase with an aging design and middle-of-the-road performance, and it is likely dead on arrival

Afeela is starting to become a little bit more than just a feeling. The electric vehicle, which is a joint venture between Sony and Honda, is finally available for preorder. And it only took five years to get here.

We scored a seat inside the AFEELA 1 Signature, the top-tier trim of the lineup that clocks in a massive $102,000. But don't let the sticker shock scare you off just yet — this EV is loaded with bells,

But that turned out to be exactly the plan. Although Sony began developing its EV with the contract manufacturer (and tier 1 supplier) Magna Steyr, the car— now called the Afeela 1 —will be built by Honda, which formed a strategic alliance with Sony to create the aforementioned Sony Honda Mobility, which will sell the new car.

The EV will be available in "two trims," as per Sony, with prices starting from $89,900 with a 3-year complimentary subscription for certain functionality and features, according to a company press release. The tech titan has also announced online reservations through the AFEELA website with a fully refundable reservation fee of $200.
