GAC Honda P7 Rolls Out OTA 4.2.2 Update with AI Large Model, Voice Cloning and More

On April 3, 2025, GAC Honda rolled out an OTA update to version 4.2.2 of its Honda CONNECT intelligent connectivity system for the e:NP7 (sold as the P7 in China), introducing multiple new features. This upgrade integrates a large AI model, enabling capabilities such as trip planning, vehicle-related Q&A, and casual conversation. A new voice cloning feature allows users to record voices of family or friends via the mobile app for use in voice announcements. The audio experience has also been enhanced, including ASC-simulated sporty engine sounds and dual-ear headrest navigation prompts—ensuring only the driver clearly receives directional guidance. In terms of the infotainment interface, the Bose audio menu and icons have been refined. The fragrance system now supports real-time viewing of scent type and remaining concentration levels via the mobile app, along with adjustable intensity settings. A new scheduled charging function enables users to set preferred charging time windows directly in the app. Additionally, the voice assistant can proactively greet users during special holidays. The GAC Honda P7 is a fully electric SUV that began initial customer deliveries in May 2025, offered in three variants starting at RMB 199,900.
