HONDA WTF WERE YOU THINKING?!

EV Channels Review

The Honda E:NY1 enters the mainstream EV market with a starting price of £43,000, rising to £47,000 for the top-spec Advanced model. While it offers a respectable estimated range of 256 miles, a significant improvement over the Honda e, it fails to capture the brand's signature quirkiness, feeling more like a generic mainstream SUV. The reviewer highlights several disappointments, including the lack of practicality offered by the absence of Honda's signature 'magic seats' due to the battery placement, and a manual blind for the panoramic sunroof. The charging speed is also noted as a concern, with a maximum of 78kW potentially leading to longer charging times compared to rivals. On the positive side, the interior quality is praised as being on par with other Honda products, and the driving dynamics are described as engaging and comfortable, with well-weighted steering. However, the high price point and the lack of unique selling propositions make it a difficult car to recommend against strong competition.
