by At the Japan Mobility Show 2025 in Tokyo, the Japanese electronics manufacturer Sharp presented a new version of its experimental electric vehicle, the LDK+. Last year, the company already demonstrated a concept with this name, but now the car looks completely ready for production. And it’s no wonder — because the project is backed not only by Sharp but also by the Taiwanese tech giant Hon Hai Precision (known as Foxconn), which has owned the brand since 2016.
Foxconn, the world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer, has been actively developing the electric vehicle segment for several years in collaboration with the Taiwanese conglomerate Yulon. And now their technologies have become the basis for the five-seater Sharp LDK+ station wagon, which seems to be conceived not just as transport, but as an extension of your home on wheels.
LDK+ stands for Living, Dining, Kitchen — a classic Japanese formula for living spaces. And this is the entire philosophy of the car. Inside is a real “smart home”: a huge multimedia display, a projector with a retractable screen, a window tinting system, an air ionizer, household-type sockets, and a retractable table. The interior can be transformed into a work office, a family cinema, or a children’s room — depending on the mood.
Sharp positions the LDK+ as a universal space for living and working, not just as transport. The car is created with an emphasis on comfort and digital integration — a logical continuation of the company’s philosophy, which for decades has been supplying home appliances to millions of households worldwide.
Mass production of the LDK+ is planned to start in 2027. And although technical specifications are not yet being discussed, one thing is obvious — for “old-school” Sharp, the car is turning into a new form of home appliance. Only this time, it has wheels, a battery, and the soul of a Japanese engineer.
