Sony, in collaboration with Honda, has been working on an electric vehicle for five years now, and finally, at CES 2025, the car has a release date. Afeela 1 appeared a couple of years ago as a prototype (codenamed VISION-S) and now at the mega event the close-to-production-ready model has made its first appearance.Sony Honda Mobility has also revealed that the electric sedan is up for pre-order for residents of California with a refundable reservation fee of $200 and a release date in mid-2026. The EV will come in two variants Origin and Signature priced at $89,000 and $102,900 respectively. It will come with a 91-kilowatt-hour battery promising a total range of 300 miles and capable of fast charging via the 150 kW DC socket. The main highlight is a three-year subscription to in-car features like LiDAR-assisted Level 2+ autonomy and AI-powered personal assistant. This makes it capable of self-parking by identifying empty spots in parking.Designer: Sony Honda MobilityAfeela 1 is dotted with a panorama of displays on the dashboard and built-in PlayStation 5 to get gaming when you are parked waiting for someone, having nothing to do. The car can be piloted using the PS5 Dual Sense controller and even voice command via the Afeela Personality Agent. The personal assistant can be interacted with from inside or even outside the car which is a great feature to go with semi-autonomy. At some point in the future, the user will be simply able to hop in the car and then command it to go to any destination. The expansive dashboard is powered by the Unreal Engine game engine to display the main interface as well as the maps and driver aid systems. Sony is using an Active Noise Cancellation setup to make the cabin go as quiet as it could be, even when the outside world is noisy as hell.The four-seater sedan comes with a dual rear-seat entertainment system and matching futuristic interiors. Afeela 1 rides on 21-inch wheels and is all set to roll off the manufacturing lines next year in Tidal Gray, Calm White, and Core Black colorways for the exterior and interior.The post Sony Honda Mobilitys Afeela 1 electric sedan comes with in-built PlayStation 5 first appeared on Yanko Design.

NeoGracea project by Anastasiia Novikovais a home that redefines the boundaries of tradition and innovation. The intricate wall moldings show the best of classical artistry. Simultaneously, the bold, contemporary furnishings demand their fair share of attention. This home blends two eras to create a living experience that feels effortlessly luxurious, yet refreshingly current.The foyer in NeoGrace is open and welcoming. We see white dominating the space, setting a modern base. This is complemented with a French-style door, which adds a classical touch. A dark wooden console tablequite traditional in itselfis paired with contemporary round metallic legs.In the living area, a curved, asymmetrical sofa creates visual intrigue. This is paired with a black coffee table factoring in luxury and an arched floor lamp illuminating the space. The artwork in the space also uses a contrast of white and black.The classic element in the living room is the vintage-style fireplace. This is flanked with asymmetrical decor: a statement chair on one end and a sculpture atop a marble block on the other.Dark herringbone flooring ties the space together, and can be seen continuing into the kitchen. This space incorporates a luxurious marble backsplash as well as island. The matte black cabinetry is opulent in itself, while the lack of hardware keeps it modern. Finally, the dining table features a chunky base but is paired with minimalist chairs.The dark wooden cabinetry in this space provides storage, but instantly doubles as decor, too. A patterned chair gives you a quick spot to sit. The floor lamp will illuminate your book as you flip its pages, and the interesting sculptural side table gives a resting spot for your coffee. Its actually a cozy nook, but incredibly sophisticated in design.The home office in NeoGrace sticks to a minimalist table, comfy chair, and table lamp. The glass-front cabinet showcases wooden drawers. These bring in a traditional touch. Theres also room for guests (the stylish way). A chunky sofa is paired with a wooden block doubling as a console table, while a textured piece of art brings the space to life.This bedroom is modern when it comes to the neutral color palette, but the ornate wall moldings bring in the traditional style, as do the two wooden nightstands. (The sense of symmetry these create also contribute to a traditional vibe!). Circular pendant lights hang freely in the air, while an accent chair adds a punch of color. The orange artwork is bold enough to form the focal point.The bathroom in NeoGrace is no less than a spa. A white and black color palette, freestanding bathtub, and large potted plant set the ambiance. This is further enhanced with the neatly folded towels doubling as decor. The double vanity makes sure you can segregate your spaces while getting ready!
