There are massive discounts on these in the UK, a new Elegance can be picked up for around £32K (list £44K), at that price it doesn't look so bad

[@disarchitected]

Not even that, over 90% of buyers get some sort of finance, so the monthly payments on leases or PCP’s should be the focus. Honda are knocking these out for £200-£250 a month on PCP with nothing down right now, they are very affordable.

[@Akinto710]

34k Euro in Denmark now. Suddenly very interesting car. Not many can beat this for the low price now, even if the car itself is mediocre. There isn't many EVs for 34k euro at all. Only really BYD Dolphin or MG4, id rather have this.

[@JustRed_Titan]

Bro 20k€ in Albania or 18k€ if you order it from Korea,I mean new car if you think about this price

[@mrb9849]

​@@disarchitected where are these offers

[@mrb9849]

Where ?

[@terrydelahunt842]

Great review, honest and informative. This is why so many people have an issue with electric cars, the manufacturer says 500km range, honest, real world review gives the reality and it's far worse. 60k for a car that can't get you to Kerry without stopping, how is this anything other than a vastly overpriced, massive retrograde step.

[@Jajalaatmaar]

But this is literally one of the worst electric cars.

[@alanrutland4424]

Another company like Lexus where I feel they are building these because they have to be seen to do it but it is not what they believe is the future. I am pretty sure that is Honda put their minds to it they would bring out something stunning.

[@mamba101]

Honda e is brilliant

[@Madonsteamrailways]

The E:NY1 is literally the electric version of the Honda Jazz!! It’s the same length as the original Jazz that I had until 2020.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Good bit bulkier though

[@dotamaze]

Its an electric version of the Honda Vezel or HRV! This is no Chinese bling bling car!

[@mark.c3353]

Surely a compliance car for Honda, wouldn’t be surprised if they pulled out of the Irish market altogether at some point given their lack of models and extortionate pricing

[@willpeony5534]

They're down to about six dealerships in Ireland, the rest are "aftermarket" which I presume means winding down sellers.

[@conorhanley9009]

@@mark.c3353 such a shame but heir pricing is crazy at the moment even by Irish car price standards

[@neilhollands4863]

Great informative review as always. I had one of these recently as a hire car. Nice enough to sit in although ridiculously large infotainment screen. Plenty quick enough but the range is awful it’s as dull as dishwater and the price is absolutely ridiculous!

[@nikc1313]

Sales must have been abysmal as they are now selling them at big discounts. I ordered an Advanced a couple weeks ago at 10k off list and 0% finance. They must be losing money on them at that price. Would never have considered it at RRP but its an amazing car at £299 per month!

[@NobbyOnCars]

At that price, hard to argue!

[@tonyb3629]

One of the most anonymous and instantly forgettable cars on the road - EV or not. I doubt Honda will sell many at all - they can do a LOT better. I'd normally expect something like this from VW, who are the masters of bland.

[@conorhanley9009]

Honda are gone crazy with their prices I think they are pricing themselves out of the market

[@stevena9305]

Gone in to reverse now. £31k for the top spec model now.

[@muffythevampirelayer]

It would be great if you reviewed this car based on the discounted price available, rather than the MRRP. It looks a much better car and maybe even value for money at the discounted price and could be forgiven some of it's shortcomings.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Can’t work off prices that aren’t published officially like that I’m afraid.

[@stevena9305]

The recent current £31k deal is an official published Honda offer so would be great to hear your thoughts on the cad at this price.

[@petershorney7504]

Ha ha Nobby, yet again Honda deliver a misfit that may become a keeper. Yes, the price will have to change. Our HRV is so slow that it needs to leave the party well before midnight, but it'll outlast most Prince Charmings. I'm sure the pricing will change and the range will prove to be OK on a longer test. Thanks for another good review.

[@Madonsteamrailways]

Actually, the original Honda Insight was brought out in 1989, and that was the very first hybrid.

[@Antiguan_Dart]

Saw one of these on the road today in the North East, England. It is quite distinctive on the road and the appeal- if not brand loyalty might lay in the Lease deals people have been mentioning - though my quick search of lease deals didn’t show anything particularly attractive; £2,967 deposit, £329 per month, term 24 months, 5000 miles per annum!

[@NobbyOnCars]

Actually saw one today in a nice red in Dublin and it looked well.

[@MercSLRFan]

That ‘astronaut’ is Honda’s famous robot, ASIMO. Well, maybe not famous enough…

[@RichyRich89]

Thanks for the informative video :) I currently have a Hyundai i20n on PCP that I'll probably buy at the end in a couple years - but likely to move to electric in 2-3 years. The market will probably change by then but if I was to change now I'd still probably go for a Tesla Model 3, especially if the price keeps decreasing!

[@byddf]

For Thailand EV market, it wouldn't be too expensive. It is expected to be only slightly more expensive than the Atto3, but as a Honda, not a Chinese product, it will be a better value.

[@sandyfordd1843]

You should have a poll to see which is the worst BEV, the Toyota BZ4X or the Honda Eny1. Both are pretty dreadful, exactly what we expect from the Japanese anti-EV manufacturers.

[@MsItalia007]

They should reduce the list price to dodge the £40,000 luxury car road tax, like Tesla has. Might make it more desirable.

How did they go from the amazing Honda-e to this? So disappointing… if they just put a bigger battery into the e they would sell like crazy

[@savedfaves]

The the amazing discontinued Honda-e.

[@gomidasodabashian4904]

we get this for around 25k here in Armenia after tax brand new 😊

[@mickdaly6537]

Why don't all EVs have a frunk just for cables? Under boot floor is crazy if out with boot full kids gear and need a top up

[@ilyasshaikh4539]

Nice

[@Ambienfinity]

I've had three Hondas and have recently replaced my previous one, but with a Hyundai. Hondas have just become too expensive. You're dead right about the alloys. My Honda's alloys used to take ages to clean - my Hyundai has aero covers that take seconds. To my eye this e:NY1 looks like a H-RV, which is a quirky looking thing to begin with. As usual with EVs, the stated range tends to be fiction. I do like the interior design though. Honda have really upped their game in that regard.

[@boysofwexford]

58 k😂😂😂😂😂 Lose 25 k in the first year . Fools and money easy do part 😅

[@Jajalaatmaar]

This one will lose way more. Xpeng G9 is that price here in the Netherlands. Full SUV, charges 5 times faster. 30% more efficient. The Honda is a joke.

[@MPC12345678]

These are on sale now in many countries in Europe, 299 000 Kr in Norway for advance, from 420 000 kr, for 299 000 it competes with the Nissan leaf, and this has much more equipment on board than leaf and better range. It's a good buy for 299k but for 420k it's beat by other competitors. I think it's also in sale in UK where you get almost 16k pounds off.

[@Jajalaatmaar]

Do they make a profit that way?@@MPC12345678

[@JustRed_Titan]

Men 20k€ in Albania how can be so expensive in your country,they probably make business buying car from us

[@MrGMawson2438]

Cheers mate

[@derekfinnegan734]

The rear light seems to be shared with the Civic. It looks very similar. Very shocked to learn the price and the range.

[@Legenwait4itdary]

30k€ in germany!

[@israelll4788]

Got this car for 28.000$ in Laos

[@MrGrentch]

"Honda; get some blue pills". 😂 Yeah that armrest is odd alright. Maybe it's on the blink?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Nope. Check out Johnny Smith’s review - same thing 🤣

[@MrGrentch]

@@NobbyOnCars Oof, not good. Though maybe it's not the car, maybe it's because you and Johnny just aren't pretty enough? 😁

[@thomashaasum9734]

honda says 412 km WLTP.. and its on sale in most of mainland europe.

[@cherubygacutan853]

Honda is having a promo on this car this month of July in the UK. The deposit contribution is sizeable with the option of a low deposit as much as £1299 with £293 a month on PCP for 4 year term. I mean I’m not a Honda fan but I think for this price on pcp it is more than enough. Maybe if Hyundai and Kia offered a lower deposit and lower APR to achieve a more sensible pcp a month lower than £350, then maybe yeah those cars are better. I am choosing between this, BYD Atto 3 and the MG 4 solely for the attractive pcp terms. But in my search, i really tried to see if Kia, Nissan or Hyundai could offer same low apr or lower deposit but sadly not. You need £7,000 or more of a deposit. Makes it hard for a middle to low income family to go electric when they want the space with it. 😢

[@Andy-zi1wj]

Honda are doing a deal with 0 deposit from £269 a month 0% finance 5 year care package

[@MrCheekyDimps]

@@Andy-zi1wjI bought one at this price. AMAZING VALUE for that price

[@daveb1433]

Honda will price themselves out of the Irish market. Look at the price of a Civic now…..€50,000. Holy smoke, what are they thinking about??? They did the same with the Accord some years back, pushed into BMW / Mercedes bracket and out of reach of a lot of their regular Accord buyers. I knew a few of them. Accord just disappeared from here.

[@willpeony5534]

Not even one Bitcoin, c'mon man!

[@ingikjartansson]

This is the second cheapest EV in Iceland, only Volkswagen e-Up! is cheaper.

[@savedfaves]

"NY1... NY1... NY1" the teacher from Ferris Bueller.

[@Madonsteamrailways]

I would love to know if it’s an electric Jazz!! Please confirm this for me and I might get one. My old Jazz was a great little car and I would only have a Honda if this was an electric Jazz.

[@asmhar]

It's an electric Honda HR-V.

[@williambellingham5106]

The back looks like a Kia pro ceed

[@podge5555]

I think the colour is the only thing that’s nice about it

[@martidonegal1]

58k for that. How can a pensioner afford that 😫 good review 👏 👌. That Honda e was cool to look at but terrible range. This has a better range but looks like the car version of ovaltine.

[@drone_tours]

After a year it will only be worth 35k tops

[@terrydelahunt842]

If you're lucky and can find someone to buy it. It's more likely to be unsellable and worth effectively nothing.

[@copaloadofthis]

@@terrydelahunt842… after 5 years you might have to pay someone just to take it off your hands !

[@drone_tours]

Odd is the best it will get. In Glasgow, that translates as shite.

[@NobbyOnCars]

That not a jobby?!

[@colinrenfrew48]

@@NobbyOnCars I’m going for the international audience!

[@johnminshall242]

Love the ‘reality’ of the review… sadly, this Honda is likely to be mostly bought by Honda fans - and even some of those will question their sanity! If you’re paying €55k+ here, you’ve got Tesla Ys, PS2s, Enyaqs/ID4s etc, which’ll all go 100-200km further. It’s just too average and not competitive in any one area, and - as the review suggests - way overpriced for what range it gives (which, for most EV buyers, will define a car’s use ability and value for money).

[@savedfaves]

5:15 the screen if it's big is in the wrong orientation for watching content while parked, which would be the only good reason for wanting a large screen.

[@arunraj9988]

Why are new hondas so unreasonably expensive

[@johncrosbarry]

Jez that a real disaster of a car from Honda, it looks as boring as dishwater too, and that efficiency is unbelievably bad! Are they taking the piss with the price 😂

[@grahamrock3942]

Reviewers....can any of you please explain to me WHY I'm looking at the vehicle Body Parts from a 1973 AUSTIN ALLEGRO...please allay any fears that this is NOT the case, and just a 'Mirage' of my imagination...thanks..G.A.R.

[@seanb9530]

These are 32-34k now..could make it a whole new ball game... Are they a good buy for that?

[@sandyfordd1843]

Definitely not, just about every other car 8s better, avoid this junker like the plague.

[@MPC12345678]

​@@sandyfordd1843 in Norway the advance is about 299 000 (26 k euros) after the deal, and for that price it's the best EV car you can get here in that price range. Closest competitor is leaf, with less equipment, lower range and less seating space, lower seats and uglier imo.. For that price these cars are good. They are almost sold out now in Norway. The elegance cost 279000.

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

Honda is one of the worst offenders when it comes to pricing in Europe.

[@terrydelahunt842]

I looked at a crv in 2020 when I bought my current car, Honda main dealer told me himself that they are stupidly overpriced.

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

@@terrydelahunt842 In the UK, the Honda CR-V breached the £50K mark at a price tag of £53,995 in Advance Tech e:PHEV guise, and it’s front-wheel drive only.

[@markl4670]

£50k for a new CRV. I bought a year old CRV in 2017, 9k miles. Paid £17k. Its been brilliant but prices now are crazy, like other manufacturers.

[@chriss4949]

They have registered LOADS of these in UK in March on a crazy £179 a month 2 year deal. They are literally buying their compliance- share

[@MrCheekyDimps]

Yeah but after two years they know you either give it back or you have to pay the rest of the 4 years on a high APR% it would be better to take 260 over 4 years

[@MrGMawson2438]

Lmao walk away

[@keithronson2624]

Not Honda's finest hour! Ugly as sin! Not Tesla ugly...nothing is! Well Kia and Hyundai are catching up!.... Back to the Honda. Ouch! Price! What? Honda, come on! Seen one on the road today being driven by [dare i say?] typical Honda driver. That is the market for this ?? car? SUV? Existing, loyal [older, rich, retired] Honda owners. They missed with the Honda e...the new Mini e will kill that oddity off for good. No Honda stick with the Civic..... this is a big, expensive miss!

[@DWestnik77]

It is funny but for me, it is the best-looking car on UK market. But I probably will buy Honda HRV because it's 71 mpg

[@Octocoupler]

Probably one of the worst honda ever built??
