“Its maker says this is the “ideal car” for first-time EV drivers, and we can see why plenty of existing Honda customers may be intrigued by the e:Ny1’s familiar styling, strong efficiency and tech-filled interior. However, in an incredibly competitive part of the market, this car falls short; an unpolished driving experience, middling practicality and a high price mean that rivals like the Tesla Model Y and Skoda Enyaq have the edge.”

“Name aside, the Honda e:Ny1 is a solid addition to the compact electric crossover class – a sector of the market that’s booming. However, while it drives nicely and offers some good tech, it doesn’t excel in any one area, and its range and charging capability are more limited than its main rivals.” (Sean Carson)

“Quirky name aside, the Honda e:NY1 very much plays by the rulebook for small electric crossovers and comes brimming with new tech.” (Dan Trent)

“Thanks to the high-end specification and useable everyday practicality of the Honda e:Ny1, it should be given genuine consideration as a family-friendly electric SUV. It is expensive, however, and the claimed 256 miles of range is well beaten by a slew of its rivals.” (Jack Warwick)

“The e:Ny1 is a safe bet. Steadfast reliability meets strong residuals in a package that’s not too new or scary.” (Murray Scullion)

“The Honda E:Ny1 is not only confusing for its name, but also its high price – a shame, given how accomplished it is in several areas.”

“There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with Honda’s 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.”

“If you’re looking for an unintimidating electric car with a plush cabin and impressive technology, we’d recommend the Honda e:Ny1. You can get bigger EVs for the money – so family buyers want to look elsewhere – while there are cheaper options, too.” (Andy Brady)

“Comfortable and easy to drive, the Honda e:Ny1 makes for an excellent first electric car. You can get bigger or more upmarket alternatives for the same price, though, which might make the e:Ny1 a hard sell in a crowded marketplace.”

“It won’t excite enthusiasts but by today’s EV standards, the Honda e:Ny1 is a very competent and sensible car and is an important addition to Honda’s line up. There are some drawbacks to the rest of the package, namely the average boot space and interior material quality that leaves much to be desired.”

“The Honda e:Ny1 is a nice enough job and it drives well, if a bit stiffly. While some folk won’t like that it is built in China, it seems a little unfair to single Honda out for that. Somehow, the proposition of this first proper Honda EV just doesn’t seem generous enough to make it much of a contender – and the entirely stupid name doesn’t help, either.” (Andrew English)

“Despite being only Honda’s second electric car, the Honda e:Ny1 offers an attractive package that combines a decent range with great practicality and good performance. It’s a good alternative to the Kia Niro EV, although that rival is slightly more comfortable to drive and even more practical.” (Dan Jones)
