Sony’s CES 2026 press conference is imminent, and this year comes with a twist: Rather than an overview of Sony’s electronics, video game and Hollywood studio plans for the new year, the presser will have a more narrow focus: electric vehicles. Sound odd? That’s because the traditional end-of-press-day slot isn’t just Sony, but rather Sony Honda Mobility \u2014 the joint venture responsible for the Afeela 1 electric car that has been showcased at CES for the better part of a decade. But this year, we’ll get to see an all-new concept model at the event.<\/p>\n
How to watch the Sony Afeela CES 2026 press conference<\/p>\n
The event will be streamed live from Las Vegas on Monday, January 5 at 8PM ET via the Afeela official YouTube channel<\/a>, which we’ve embedded below.<\/p>\n Engadget will also be liveblogging the event here.<\/p>\n Live coverage is over50 updatesWhat to expect from Sony Afeela at CES<\/p>\n The Afeela 1 has been shown in various incarnations since CES 2020<\/a>, where it was originally announced as the Vision-S. But so many more important details were confirmed in the past couple of years, including the price, which starts at a staggering $89,900. However, the earlier impressions were less than impressive, and as of CES 2025, that thought remains the same. Engadget’s automotive expert Tim Stevens said a year ago that the EV “feels like a PlayStation 4 in the PS5 era<\/a>,” and that “the car lost what little interesting styling it had while sticking true to some specifications that sounded good five years ago.” Ouch.<\/p>\n But the Afeela 1 won’t be the only vehicle on display. Its CES booth will showcase “several Afeela 1 pre-production vehicles in multiple color variations, alongside a new Afeela concept model,” Sony Honda Mobility said in a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n The company recently announced that the Afeela will be the first vehicle ever to offer PlayStation Remote Play<\/a>, which lets players stream their PS4 or PS5 games from their consoles remotely while inside the car. That’s no doubt built on the same streaming improvements<\/a> that have been incorporated into the PlayStation Portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n We’re hoping to hear about what else is new and improved at CES 2026, and we’re also excited to see its newest concept model. And between booth displays and press releases, we’re hoping we’ll get to see at least a few new Sony Electronics products on the docket for 2026, too.<\/p>\n Update, January 4 2026, 4:17PM ET:<\/strong> This story has been updated to include the embedded YouTube stream for the Afeela presentation.<\/p>\n Update, January 5 2026, 5:15PM ET:<\/strong> This story has been updated to include the embedded liveblog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sony’s CES 2026 press conference is imminent, and this year comes with a twist: Rather than an overview…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":495600,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[207578,222965,222966,4489,7219,19061,222964,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-495599","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-ces","9":"tag-concept-model","10":"tag-electric-car","11":"tag-electric-vehicles","12":"tag-press-conference","13":"tag-sony","14":"tag-sony-honda-mobility","15":"tag-technology","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115846125007329470","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=495599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/495599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/495600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=495599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=495599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=495599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
