![]() Honda’s engineering prowess is evident in the way the car handles, which is admirably responsive in its steering and the damping copes well with uneven surfaces. Round the back, the use of high-gloss plastic mouldings may look nice now but leaves you wondering what they will be like after a few scratches or simple wear and tear. The use of high gloss plastic mouldings may look nice now but leaves you wondering what they will be like after a few scratches or simple wear and tear For a company with Honda’s engineering pedigree it seems a bit of a letdown. We struggled to get the latch to catch without a couple of attempts. However, although the door for the socket opens on a button, it must be closed manually. There’s a smart light bar across the front that signals when charging is under way and when the battery is full. It should be using the cabin to showcase its Japanese heritage and the attention to detail for which that country’s craftworkers are famous.īack on the exterior, the recharging point is on the car’s front nose. Honda’s designers could have had a lot more fun with this interior, taking its cue from the quirky Honda E, for example. Overall, the cabin is comfortable, but the rear seats are really for two grown passengers rather than three, as the centre seat is high, hard and narrow. The 15.1-inch centre screen is divided into three and it is really only the top third – of five inches – that you will engage with That is combined with the piano black shiny plastic that has spread through the car industry like Japanese knotweed. ![]() The interior trim has elements of soft touch faux leather but for the most part is hard plastic reminiscent of Japanese cars from previous decades. The middle part is for information apps like power supply data, while the lowest part is permanently fixed on air-con controls. While it’s dominated by a 15.1-inch centre screen, this is divided into three and it is really only the top third – of five inches – that you will engage with. Honda is also quick to underline that the e:Ny1 is built on a new dedicated EV platform, while the interior has also been overhauled.įirst to that interior. The front nose styling is more impressive in the metal than in photos, and the car is more substantial as well, similar to the HRV, from which it derives its looks. The name is arguably the most unique feature of this car. Honda e:Ny1: The front nose styling is more impressive in the metal than in photosįirst impressions are of a car that’s playing it safe, both in terms of styling and performance. So can the arrival of a new all-electric crossover, the e:Ny1 boasting a range of 410km, finally revive the fortunes of what remains a brand with proven engineering prowess?
