As part of GM's alliance with Honda they could be responsible for building Honda electric crossovers by 2023 and Acura ones by 2024. I'm a bit surprised but then again Honda hasn't been as invested in EVs as GM has.
In a recent report, Automotive News says that General Motors will launch production of an electrified Honda crossover in 2023 at GM’s Ramos Arizpe facility in Mexico. The Ramos Arizpe facility currently produces the Chevy Equinox and Chevy Blazer, but, as was reported last year, GM is looking to retool the facility for EV production within the next few years.
The Automotive News report also states that General Motors will begin production of a new electric crossover for Honda’s premium brand, Acura, by the 2024 calendar year at GM’s production facility in Spring Hill, Tennessee. The Spring Hill facility currently produces the GMC Acadia, the Cadillac XT5, and the Cadillac XT6, with plans to build the all-electric Cadillac Lyriq crossover next year. Production of the next-generation GMC Acadia will be moved to GM’s Lansing Delta Township facility in Michigan.
Details on the new GM-built electric Honda crossovers are still under wraps, but according to Automotive News, the models are expected to be roughly equivalent to the Cadillac Lyriq with regard to dimensions. Both the Honda model and the Acura model will utilize GM’s Ultium battery technology, and offer 450 miles of range between plugs.
