Honor LSV G1 2+2

Honor's 4-seat 2+2 LSV, from a South Carolina maker that fabricates its own aluminum chassis — an American-built story in a field of imports. It runs a 9 kW AC motor and an EcoBattery lithium pack (105Ah standard, 160/210Ah upgrades), four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes, adjustable coil-over suspension front and rear, and a 10-inch touchscreen, backed by a 3-year vehicle and 12-year battery warranty. It's a factory Low-Speed Vehicle (vPIC lists Honor LSV with LSV as its primary type); it ships around 19.5 mph with a 15/25 mph switch, so set it to 25 for street-legal use. Starts around $14,500. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). MSRP range: $14,500.

you want the strongest motor in the class — it leads the premium field on power.
