Surprisingly, there are few electric models

　The electrification of cars is a big wave worldwide.In 2021, passenger cars sold in Japan are also being electrified, and the electrification ratio of hybrids, electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles in new car sales is 40..It is 5 %.

If you only hear this number, you may think that the models that have set gasoline engine vehicles are becoming a minority, but what are the current status of the models that can choose pure gasoline engine grades in Japan? Uh? In conclusion, most of the models that have set gasoline engine vehicles in the passenger lineup of domestic manufacturers are still as follows. Set up 24 gasoline engine vehicles to 24 out of 31 Toyota models set 8 gasoline engine vehicles to 10 out of 10 Lexus models set up 13 gasoline engine vehicles to 11 out of 14 Honda Honda Honda In 14 Gasoline engine vehicles Set up Suzuki. Set 10 gasoline engine vehicles in 10 out of 15 models Set up 9 gasoline engine vehicles to 9 out of 10 Mazda Motor Motor Motor Motor Corporation 7 Gasoline engine vehicles are set to all models excluding Daihatsu OEM Subaru 7 All 7 All 7 Regarding how to count the models that set gasoline engine vehicles in the model, the count method is different for each manufacturer, so it is unified from my own perspective, but in any case, there are surprisingly few electric models. You will understand. You can still choose gasoline engine vehicles in most lineups. Let's take a look at what non -gasoline engine cars are in each brand. In the case of Toyota, the hybrid dedicated car is "Aqua", "Prius", "Camry" and "Century". The Prius PHV is dedicated to plug -in hybrid, and as you know, MIRAI is a fuel cell -only vehicle. And this time it is a gasoline engine car, so I excluded "Gran Ace" dedicated to diesel engine. In addition, the high -lux of pickups is also set only for diesel, but this time it is a "passenger car", so it is removed from the count. The Lexus is only for hybrids, "ES" and "CT", and there are other gasoline engine vehicles. Nevertheless, it is true that most vehicles are being electrified, including "UX", which prepares electric vehicle grade. Nissan is aggressive in electric vehicles and is also active in the development of hybrids named "E-POWER", so nearly 30 % of the domestic lineup is an electric model. Electric vehicles are "Leaf" and "Aria", and e-POWER-only models are "Note", "Note Aura", and "Kicks". In Honda, hybrids called "E: HEV" are widely deployed other than mini cars, but there are few hybrid -only models. The "Legend", which was exclusively for hybrids, has been reduced in lineup, and "NSX" is not covered because it is effectively discontinued. E: HEV -only models are set up for gasoline engine vehicles, excluding three units, "Accord" and "Insight" sedan models, and the electric vehicle "Honda E". 。 However, the options are gradually narrowing, such as setting gasoline engine vehicles only for entry grades like "Vezel". It may be surprising that Suzuki, which may have a weak image of electrification, has five non -gasoline engine vehicles, but Suzuki has actively developed mild hybrids on mini vehicles. The results have contributed to increasing the electrification ratio of the entire mini car in Japan. Such Suzuki's mild hybrid dedicated to "Spacia", "Hustler", "Ignis", and "Crosby", and in fact, Nissan Serena's OEM "Randy" is only mild hybrid. In the Mazda lineup that sets a pure electric vehicle grade to the "MX-30", a gasoline engine vehicle is set for all models excluding the MX-30. The MX-30 non-EV model is like a gasoline engine car and is a mild hybrid. The mild hybrid is also actively developed, and two types of powertrain, E-SKYACTIV-G and E-SKYACTIV-X. Mitsubishi Motors have a strong image of "Outlander PHEV" dedicated to plug -in hybrid, but if you look at the entire lineup, most of the models are based on gasoline engines. As an electric vehicle, there is an "Eclipse Cross PHEV". In addition, this time it is limited to gasoline engine cars, which are limited to diesel, which is not set as a gasoline engine. Recently, the lineup of Daihatsu, which added "ESMART Hybrid", a type that generates power with an engine in "Rocky", has almost all gasoline engine vehicles on all vehicles. The only hybrid is "Ultis", but this is a Toyota Camry OEM car. Subaru doesn't even use the name of the hybrid. In fact, mild hybrids are adopted, but they may be the most distant impression of electrification because they use the name "E-BOXER". Subaru is the default route to release a pure electric vehicle "Soltera" in 2022. Will the number of Subaru cars that do not load the engine will increase, not just gasoline engines?
