Honda e - Modern Take On The Old Civic (ENG) - Test Drive and Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 кві 2021
- Honda e is an electric city car based on the 2017 Honda Urban EV concept. Two years later at the Frankfurt Motor Show the production version of the Honda e debuted. The concept was a three door with huge wheels and flared fenders, it communicated with the user through a graphic display between the headlights, where the grille would normally be. It featured suicide doors, and two benches going across the front and the rear of the car.
The production version of the Honda e had to be toned down a bit, and a rear pair of doors was added for some real-life usability. However as far as I’m concerned this is still a great modern homage to the early generations of the Honda Civic. In fact the Honda e may looks small, but it is about the size of the third generation Civic.
Gone is the concept display between the headlights, but the car still has a friendly face with round LED headlights doing a welcome spin. From the side the floating roof remained, but the wheels are clearly smaller, than in the concept model. Carried over from the concept are the cameras instead of wing mirrors, and the retractable door handles.
Honda boasts how modern its new EV is. It is packed full of advanced features, and it is built on a dedicated platform. There is new lightweight and rigid design.
This is the more powerful, 154 hp Honda e with a 35.5 kWh battery, and a claimed WLTP range of 210 km (17” wheels).
↔ Honda e dimensions:
✔ length: 3894 mm
✔ width: 1752 mm
✔ height: 1512 mm
✔ wheelbase: 2538 mm
✔ boot/trunk: 171/861 L
💲 Honda e starting price: 34 000 euro
💲 Honda e price as tested: 39 000 euro

I can forgive all disadvantages just for it's absolutely fantastic appearance. Big kids - big toys ))
Super test. You are right about the conclusion. Comments from a owner of Honda e.
I really like this car. A true style icon, perfect for the city. Price is it's only downfall. Thanks Marek.
Couldn't agree more!
Not only price, it's interior practicality is also very questionable.
@@autochampwandelen I don't agree. Plenty of room in the boot for a few bags of shopping and loads in the back and passenger seats, which is what most city folk do. Back seat down for b and q or whatever
@@autochampwandelen What do you think is wrong with the inside? My experience is that it is much better than any car I have had of a similar size, both front and back.
OH man!! I thought you where going to hit the guardrail with the back of the car twice. LOL. Only Marek acts like a hoon in a Honda e!! YEEESS! That just made my Friday!
I absolutely love the design of this car. If you are going to just drive around the city this would be great!
I know someone who has one of these, they do a 30 mile there, 30 mile back commute every day (well, before Covid...) and they love it.
That said, their previous car was a VW Passat CC and if I had to choose between the two...
VW Passat CC, completely different car compared with the Honda E. Oh well, could be their demand for something environment friendly.
@@autochampwandelen They tend to change cars every 2 years and I've never detected a sensible pattern :D
Honest and not go with the flow with just praise of this car. We need this
I think it looks like a mk1 golf. I love Mareks reviews.
Thanks!
I suppose there's a bit of that Mk1 Golf in there as well. Generally speaking 70s hatch.
This car reminds the first honda civic which is a unique in a way
Lol your drone freaked me out a few times with the quick evasion
There's no drone footage in this episode :)

Nice shots with the 360 camera
Great car, and cool video Marek!
Thanks! 👍
Well since EV's are still more of a fashion statement and are almost exclusively used in town I for one think that Honda got it right this time by playing on the heart strings. Because if you buy a car with you sensible shoes on i.e. for long trips and real explotation no EV makes a sense yet but if you buy it as a second car for short trips around a city this wins on cool alone
playing on the heart strings - that's right!
I loved this car with my heart but my head chose the MG ZS EV. I’ve more space, more range, more useful equipment and more money in my pocket. What I didn’t expect, after the reviews, is how genuinely well thought out the car is an fun to drive. Ok, so the Honda looks cooler but I think the three years I have to spend with my cars is going to be less frustrating with the MG.
while the MG will fail or breakdown over time, the Honda will still be driving many many troublesome miles or kilometers, im sure
My honda E is through UK motability and my choice came down to MG ZS EV or Honda E and I had exactly the same decision to make. I went with heart (and an extra £2k) but completely respect your choice and im sure you will be more than happy with the mg.
Honestly this is what I wish Mini E was like
Such great looks! I wish it had more range though.
I really like this car's design, it's so cute. Sadly I have yet to see one of them in person, they don't really seem to be selling in the Netherlands, which makes sense since it is expensive and has a low range
Terribly overpriced. This could sell for low-spec e208 money, but not a guilder more. (I know you have the euro ;) )
Interesting style but still think that Mini and Peugeot have better designs. Does Honda mentioned do they save V-Tec trademark or marking?:)
One of the best looking EV ever. I love it 😀
Would be happy to upgrade my Leaf for this Honda. Sadly it's not going to happen because of the price.
Very nice Honda!
Not at all dead on arrival. Flawed by range and overspecced therefore expensive so rare and a future classic. Mine comes in 2 days.
It looks like an updated Yugo. There I said it.
I love interior design, but still, i decided to buy ID3 bcs of better efficiency, space and technology
This car is so good... until you come to the "E" part. Inefficient, heavy, slow charging. It could be so much better. Shame.
Before any arguments - look up efficiency of Ioniq, Zoe, e-Golf and even Mini-E. Honda should at least be as high as some of these.
What this car has is desirability, I'd love one even with all its faults.
Don't think any other manufacturer makes a small car as cute.
You know what I can buy for two of these? A new Land Rover Defender, and not in base spec. That's desirability :)
@@MarekDrives
I bought a Jazz hybrid not too long back, partly from your review to be fair.
It's brilliant, does everything I want and couldn't be happier ,but if I could charge at home, I'd swap it for a Honda E in a heartbeat.
For me, they just have charm that's lacking in most modern cars. Of course, you pay a hefty price for that.
I hope it does well for Honda, vive la difference !
The Jazz is a great car. As far as I'm concerned they could make an e:HEV version of the e for the Jazz price, and just sell it as a funky alternative.
How well would an ICE version of this sell vs electric? I suspect much better. Especially considering they could not charge the premium for driving electric. It’s a real design win but style over function.
I'd buy it even with one of their 600 cc Kei car engines.
Um this is great but next time, can you please have your water bottles in English so we know what we are reading, like at 4:29???
Just joking. Love your videos! Thanks for the effort of making two versions every time.
Perfect city single car.
I love it, but as you say, it is not practicle enough overall.
Nailed it!
I'd prefer Renault's electric Twingo. Renault.fr suggests around €22,000 for the basic electric model. That sounds like a better price for what may be a better car - 4 door, rear motor, probably a similar boot. There's a Smart version as well.
while the renault will fail or breakdown over time, the Honda will still be driving many many troublesome miles or kilometers, also: the twingo isnt a good sharp drive, even with that rear motor
Exactly, the main issue is the price and the relatively small range of the battery.🤷♂️
Make this ICE :)
So true video👍
I would prefer real mirrors anytime. Cheaper and better.
I doubt that buzzing through the city you'll be able to save something using virtual mirrors.
2:29 My heart nearly stopped when I saw the car in the middle of the road in that curve...
But then I learnt that it was on a circuit.
However... 🙂
Once you experience the wing cameras, you will be convinced. The combination of quality vision in all conditions plus integrated blind spot warning is genius. While buzzing through the city, the car will buzz even louder if you try and move into a non existent space. The rear view camera isn't as good and needs refinement, as many reviews have said and I don't use it.
Looks good,sounds like it drives well,just can't do a bazillion miles on a charge.Too be fair it's not aimed at motorway driving,so I don't see what the issue is.
But as others have said, cost is it biggest downfall.
Enjoy your reviews
If you consider it only as a city car - it's too expensive. Many people work far enough from the city to have to take motorway driving into consideration for their daily commute. 100 km a day, cheap charging overnight at home, and you're golden. But there are better, more efficient, and cheaper cars out there.
Szkoda że u nas go nie ma..
Mógłby nie przejechać z jednego końca Toronto na drugi :)
@@MarekDrives zwłaszcza w korkach ..we do have Mini Cooper SE and coming soon Mazda MX30 with similar range though so you never know ..wish 500e cabrio was avbl here
Fiat 500 electric would be GREAT to have your review on!!
Soon
Fiat 500 is brilliant with bigger range. Do you need/want 5 doors?
Donuts! 👏🏻
I like it like Manga cars: warm heart can make a stop or more there, but cold reality is elsewhere.
Not a really serious electric car for the average man in the street. It's a bit of a rich man's toy due to it being very expensive and not having a very good range. Come on Honda you can do better than this. Prefer the new Jazz. Very good review thanks.
I think that pretty much sums up all electric cars: they are rich people toys. Having said that, I like the Honda.
Youre getting too good at making reviews Marek! What you say about the Honda E, i would agree. It feels like the emphasize of the car is on tech and gimmicks. They might appeal for some, but i dont see any value for money in these things as a cheapscate.
Why do you keep showing Tesla S in rear view mirrors lol ..or is this Honda footage ? Lol
We needed a camera car, and this is what was available.
@@MarekDrives dobry camera car .u nas to jest nasz i3
The Honda E is a great car. But the high price and low range let it down.
Having said this, the original Renault Zoe had a 22 KW/H battery. The current Renault Zoe has a 50 KW/H battery. So a future version of the Honda E , with say a 70 KW/H battery , but hopefully for the same price, would be a much better car.
I hope that this translates into Polish OK ??
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honda E to świetny samochód. Ale wysoka cena i niski zakres zawiódł.
Mimo to, oryginalny Renault Zoe miał 22 KW / H baterii. Obecny Renault Zoe ma baterię 50 KW / H. Tak więc przyszła wersja Hondy E , z powiedzmy 70 KW / H baterii , ale miejmy nadzieję, że w tej samej cenie, będzie znacznie lepszy samochód.
Mam nadzieję, że to przełoży się na polskie OK.
Yes, it translates fine, but you can stick to English. Long time, since I've seen you comment btw. Welcome back!
@@MarekDrives Thank you !! As mentioned above, a Mark Two version of the Honda E, with a battery with double the energy capacity (but the same size and weight as the present battery) would make this a much better car. The extra battery capacity in the Renault Zoe has greatly improved that car.
I also have high hopes for the aftermarket battery swaps. Assuming the OEM units will last 8-10 years, there's bound to be a market for reconditioning or replacement. And in 10 years battery technology should be at a stage, where energy storage would be denser, and yet more affordable. Fingers crossed.
As fleet car within city limits...For private use...too expensive. IMHO
E-expensive
Anyone who buys this will be tearing their hair out when they realise the limited range under winter driving conditions.
Hyundai-Kia would be a better choice. If you have the $$$$$'s get a Tesla. Resale values will be dependent on range.
naaahh.. I am quite sure that if you buy Honda E your daily trip is 20 miles back and forth. And if you bought Honda E instead of Zoe or Corsa-E I expect you have something bigger on your driveway for long-distance trips as well. This is the ultimate city BEV, but city only.
too expensive, I could buy it with 17.000 to 20.000 euros
Better aerodynamics more annoyance 😊 good one
The interior despite all high tech and innovative stuff resembles honda civic of the 80s
But why would one buy such a car?
I am 53. I love retro things. There is something wonderful about a modern car with modern safety features and tech but that has old school design cues.
It's very hard to make an electric car interesting - it's just an appliance like a fridge. Give me a combustion engine every time.
In a few years this could be an interesting "back to petrol" conversion project :)
@@MarekDrives Now there's a thought :-)
paskudne to auto
What a chaotic instrument panel. It is just too complicated. Clash of old and new. This is so far behind from Tesla user interface
Bad design and too small , jazz hybrid makes much more sense. However all these fancy electronics look like a trial for future proper ev hondas.
pls chill with that Ecars, that can buy 20% of Europeans especially in this day and age
Give us gas guzzlers, petrolhead cars and good old Diesel
Come back next week. You'll love the next car :)
