AFEELA at CES 2026

  At CES 2026, there was much talk about the absence of Sony Group exhibits at the main booth, but SHM's AFEELA booth featured a major presence, and a large AFEELA sign was also displayed outside. On display at the AFEELA booth was the AFEELA Prototype 2026, a newly announced SUV, and several pre-production models, in multiple color variations, of the all-electric dual-motor AWD AFEELA 1 sedan that will be delivered starting this year. The cabin of the AFEELA Prototype 2026 was not open to the public, but MarkLines reporters were able to gain access to the interior of the AFEELA 1 as well as observe a demonstration by the display attendant. Although it was not possible to actually touch and operate the HMI, the following are some of the AFEELA 1's HMI features that were able to be seen from the demonstrations given by the display attendant.
