Honda e:Ny1 Review

Price: £44,995 - £47,195

Electrifying.com score

6/10

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. Saying that, there are currently huge discounts and finance offers which might make it worth a second look.

Ginny Says

“We all loved the Honda e, but the limited range and high price meant its success was limited. The e:NY1 has more mass-market appeal but the high price remains. You'd need to seek out some of the massive discounts being offered by dealers before it would make sense.”

Nicola Says

“There's no doubt that the e:NY1 is overpriced, and that will hurt company car drivers and private motorists who pay outright for their cars. The only bright spot is that Hondas traditionally hold their value really well, which should keep the lease and finance costs reasonable. Hopefully....”
