Honda e:Ny1

(2023 - present)

    Summary


    The Honda e:Ny1 is a compact SUV/crossover, and Honda’s second electric car to join its UK range, after the Honda e hatchback. It will be available to order in the UK from October 2023.

    Honda says that the oddly-named e:Ny1 (pronounced “anyone”) has been engineered with comfort and quietness in mind, and the British motoring media has largely agreed with this statement. Honest John remarks that the crossover is “comfortable and easy to drive”, concluding that the Honda would make “an excellent first electric car”, while Car‘s Murray Scullion calls the e:Ny1 a “a safe bet”, with “steadfast reliability” and “strong residuals”.

    While reviewers agree it’s a solid performer, the e:Ny1’s key problem is the strength of its competitors. “It’s a good alternative to the Kia Niro EV“, says What Car?‘s Dan Jones, “although that rival is slightly more comfortable to drive and even more practical.” Parkers adds that key competitors “offer more range, more performance and more boot space.”

    Then there’s the price. The e:Ny1 is well-equipped as standard, but its entry-level price is on par with bigger and more upmarket electric SUVs. As Electrifying.com sums up, “there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with the Honda e:Ny1, apart from the daft name maybe. It does everything perfectly well. But it doesn’t stand out in any particular area and it needs to at this price level.”

    As of November 2023, the Honda e:Ny1 holds an Expert Rating of 55%, based on 17 reviews published by the UK motoring media.
