The Honda e:NY1 is an electric compact crossover that has almost identical dimensions to the Honda HR-V but uses a different architecture beneath its skin. Despite a coupe-like profile that gives it a three-door look, the e:NY1 is a relatively practical five-seater, and the interior features a unique design with a large touchscreen display. However, the interior is let down by cheap materials that aren’t up to the usual high Honda standards. Performance is on a par with many of its competitors’ though, and while it has a lower fast-charging rate than many of its rivals, Honda insists that in real-world scenarios, it charges up in almost the same time. Trouble is, it’s much more expensive than comparable cars in terms of range and struggles to do long journeys in cold weather without lots of charging.
