New 2024 Honda e:Ny1 Review | Here's Why Journalists Are Wrong About This Car
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Today on Buckle Up, Jasper reviews Honda's difficult second album. The e:Ny1 has come under fire from the wider automotive press for poor range, lackluster performance, safe design and a high cost to entry but have they got it all wrong? Looking at what you can actually buy these for on the forecourts we think they might have, but let's find out.
Facing stiff competition in the form of the Hyundai Ioniq5, Tesla Model Y, Kia EV6, Toyota Bz4X, Subaru Solterra and Ford Mustang Mach E.

I just got my Honda e:Ny1 1 week ago. Before I had 10 years experience with other BEV (Tesla, KIA, BMW, Volvo). And... that's the reason why I ordered this Honda! So far totally satisfied!!!
Glad you're enjoying your e:Ny1 ☺️
Just ordered mine for 289 per month. Sat in the car and its quality. My wife and 2 boys loved it. Had to take it in white but its got a nice shimmer and looks nice.
When you say nice shimmer, you mean the colour?
@@BuckleUpShow yeah the white is pearlescent white.
I got the Topaz Blue one for £26.7k. AN AMAZING CAR for that price, so what you may have to charge a bit more. But for everyday, what a car for that price. The range is above 200 on motorways, only gos as low as 160 on freezing cold days and putting your foot down.
That's an impressive discount! Not sure about 200 miles on a motorway, you'd have to be driving at about 40 mph in spring with no climate control on to achieve that kind of range 🤣
I have it on Eco, in last weeks warm weather, no air on and it’s anywhere between 190-200 from Spalding to Grays Essex, Not great but for 26K I’ll just charge it a few more times 😅 happpy days !!
118 miles? Sounds like you could have left the air con on 👀👀👀
I am a bit worried about motorway consumption. Do have to drive slower to reduce comsumption
Driving more slowly will reduce consumption, yes. Optimum speed for range whilst still making good progress is typically around 55 mph. You can, of course, just drive faster and charge a bit more often though. Depends on what you prefer!
I actually live in The Cotswolds and recently had this car for a days test drive. I found no issues with it on country driving and loved it. I'm actually ordering mine tomorrow 😊
Great choice, we hope you enjoy it! What colour have you gone for?
@@BuckleUpShow I've gone for the topaz blue with the white interior 😊
@@BuckleUpShow I almost went for the Obsidian blue but my current Civic is Obsidian blue and time for a change. The Obsidian is a lovely colour though!
Great choice!
Have a look at other reviews regarding the low hung battery back..looks so bad..WTH was Honda thinking, i mean the wheel arches are hard to unsee but that battery pack could easily lead to problems over rougher roads or even some speed bumps.Question is..if any damage caused will Honda cover it?
This is not a vehicle designed to be taken over rough off-road surfaces. Whilst the battery pack does hang slightly low, it still has slightly more ground clearance than a car such as the Audi TTS. Therefore driving over rougher road surfaces and speed bumps should not be a problem - Honda will therefore be very unlikely to cover damage caused by a user driving in an inappropriate manner for the road conditions.
Did you test the adaptive cruise control on the freeway? Nice video btw
We don't have freeways here in the UK, but we did test the adaptive cruise on a mixture of roads similar to freeways, where it performed well.
I have a type two charging socket in my house from my peugeot 3008. Looking to go cheaper. Can this use the same charging socket?
Yes, thanks to the EU all car chargers are standardised in the UK
Thank u 4 all that-i had done all that so I looked at handbook and it has a tiny black button to the right-so I pressed that and heho it immediately released it.Its only tiny and quite dark and as I also had my eye on football tonight didn't see it. Thank you anyway and can only Thank ny dealer for giving me a handbook as not on yt. Love driving this car and ra ge is excellent so does my dog! So easy to clean inside as faux leather -hand honda years ago but not as good as this.Take care and thank you again.😊
I'm glad your dog enjoys driving the car
@@BuckleUpShow Hes a better driver than me & clever boy he uses his tail as an indicator!!LOLxx
Hey everyone, i am looking to get my home charger installed for my Honda (waiting for delivery), does anyone know how long the standard charging cable is that comes with the Honda ENY1 in the UK ?
I am trying to figure out where best to install the charger box & was hoping the cable is 5 meters at least.
Thanks
A quick look online (since we didn't measure the cable when we had the car) suggests it to be a 4.5 m cable.
@@BuckleUpShow thank you very much
Happy to help!
Just ordered an advanced in this colour for 1k deposit 299 a month on PCP. For the spec on offer there is absolutely nothing on the new car market that comes close to that deal. At 42k no thanks but under 300 a month be stupid not to consider it. In terms of range anything near 200 is good enough for me. Lived with a mokka e for 3 years with a real world range of around 100 miles in winter. Only critique i have, and never thought I'd say this, its too fast for the type of car. In sport mode the pick up is comical. I wonder if they dialed it down would it achieve better range? The amount of old people who are likely to buy this car and shoot out a junction into a hedge probably explains its group 40 insurance bracket! I'm also willing to bet if they streamlined those wing mirrors they could add 10 miles.
It's hard to say no at those prices
Wow, great deal. Is that through Honda directly? Really considering one as our next family car…
Yes it will be - have a look on their website as they're running quite a few good deals on this model!
@@chrismarsh7138I ordered one last week, Nice car.
How do I detach the plug from the front, I am having trouble.
The car needs to be unlocked, and then it should automatically be released. If you're using a 3-pin adaptor and charging from a socket at home, you may also need to turn that charger off to allow it to be disconnected.
There is a physical release button next to the socket.
Would have been good 3-4 years ago. The Honda dealer near me is offering £11k?!?! Dealer contribution. Must be struggling to shift them.
That's a very healthy deposit. Sounds like someone needs to hit their sales targets...
They were over priced to start with.
How did honda manage to get such a low range with that size battery and power output?
As the owner of the new kona ev, we have a bigger car, touch more power, slightly smaller battery and yet a proper 240 mile range ?
No heat pump is a big part of it, but then presumably motor inefficiency
@@BuckleUpShow
Your up early Jasper.
You on cow milking duty?
You've got Harry, and I've got a long commute this morning 😅
It’s designed to make the battery last longer
Hi do you think it's better or volkswagen - id.4 crozz
The ID.4 is better than this, but there are many EVs better than the ID.4 too
Hey everyone. I have just ordered mine & read it has a maximum charging speed of 78kw.
Does that mean I won't benefit from the super fast charging points like the 100kw for example?
As charging is capped at 78kw?
Yes, unfortunately the max charge speed is 78kW. This means that you can max out a 50 kW charger and nearly fully utilise a 100 kW charger, but there will be no point in trying to use a charger that offers speeds higher than that as you will not see a faster charger than you would on the 100 kW one 🥲
@@BuckleUpShow thank you for your reply. Great video btw
This would be a great car if it were only competing with Toyota; unfortunately, there are tons of other far better options. Even Nissan has more interesting options with the Ariya and Leaf.
Perhaps Honda is relying on their hardcore fanbase to replace their gasoline HR-V with this in the future while not losing out on their YoY with their financing options. I can't see people who aren't already big fans of Honda getting this car over the others.
Personally, I think an electrified CR-V would've been a better base for this price, but they probably didn't want all the sales to go towards that just yet.
I think that, ultimately, the thing that will sell these is the surprisingly good monthly financing offers that are available to try and shift them. It's not an objectively bad car, and in some areas it's actually pretty good vs rivals) but there aren't enough stand out features to make a buyer who is more interested in cars choose this over a competitor.
@@BuckleUpShow
Right, it'd be an easy decision for people who are too scared to try new brands with good financing. Ultimately, the biggest downside of this car seems to be pricing. Imagine if it went against the likes of MG4 without financing; then it'd be very competitive (and make a great thumbnail).
I've just bought one having never owned a Japanese car, let alone a Honda.
As @BuckleUpShow states, it's the finance deals that are doing it. I'm paying £300 a month over 36 months with a £1000 deposit. No other PCP deal comes close.
A bit confused really, Jasper. You have effectively “damned this vehicle with faint praise”.
Because it’s not as bad as it’s been made out to be. It’s not great. It’s just middle of the road. Hence the ‘faint praise’.
The model sold in the UK is manufactured in China and is missing some very basic features, such as a speed limiter. Poor.
Is there a particular reason you've linked where it's made and what features it's available with?
Well if we're being useful it has adaptive cruise control as standard, which most people would consider to be a big improvement over a speed limiter
@@hepteropterixmisinformation is what they have provided.
Picking mine up on Friday and it’s in the beautiful blue. 🩵
Great choice on the colour! We hope you enjoy it!
Test drove this car today. I prefer the Renault Scenic E-Tech. The regen on this Honda was causing it to be jerky even with it turned right down. No heat pump either.
Honda definitely missed a trick by not including a Heat Pump on this model. Whether you get on with the regent system or not is quite dependent on your personal preference. We hope to get our hands on the new electric Scenic soon for a full review!
excuse me... where are you navigating to!? 🤣
I think the range estimates are pessimistic. If it was a Vaxhall Mokka it would be saying 260 miles. There's no way it shouldn't easily be able to crack 3 miles/kwh.
Have you considered the fact that Honda didn't do a very good job of this EV powertrain?
@@BuckleUpShow I have. It looks like the powertrain has some drag. Yeah, they should have done a better job.
Edit: Just realised the lack of a heat pump seems to drastically effect range too.
there's a ENS1 that is china car, same thing+ has a bit more range, lacks android auto i think and heated steering wheel, but same car, costs 25.000$ for the full package, less than 20k$ if going for the base model
I bet there are people who wish that was available here
Just ordered the elegance as didn't like the cheap feeling roof blinds that rattled on test drive of advance
0 deposit 0% finance 3 year PCP 11k dealer and honda deposit £285 8k per year would normally lease but best deal around. I think the car is average to drive but it's my wife's car and she liked it. It's a 30k not 40k car very overpriced like most new cars
I think the same range it's just China's range testing is more generous than eu
Ive just odered my. Test drive was a dream. The price has dropped so its a bargain now
Did you get the £11500 discount on a factory order car? (£7k dealer, £3.5k Honda Fin. Services) What is the lead time please? I'm incredibly tempted with one of these, but don't really want to change right now - hoping for a long ish lead time
What did you pay?
@@adambashford6827 4 weeks
We currently have a Škoda Enyaq and looking to add a second EV to our drive.
The PCP deals on these are fantastic, a lot of car for your money.
But my question is … will it fit a golden retriever in the boot? 👀
The boot space is less than in a VW Golf, so probably not
@@BuckleUpShow Bang goes that dream then!
Take your dog the showroom and try it
It won’t fit, no headroom for the dog, and no magic seats so it can’t go on the rear floor🤨
What about getting a rear seat cover and letting the goodest boy/girl sit on the back seats?
Generally tempted by one of these with the current deal, Honda have on. The only thing that concerns me compared to other EV's, is the gap between WLTP range and what you seem to get....
If you can make a real-world range of 160 miles work for you (which is definitely possible, unless you're regularly doing round trips of over that distance), plus if you can charge at home, this is actually a car that will fulfil your needs.
It’s designed that way to make the battery last longer
170 miles range 😂
Long way from ideal
I get 250 out of mine
You must drive like a saint
@@BuckleUpShow nope, normal driving mode and fan switched off. If using the heater its about 220 miles. Weird thing is in hot weather using the fan and aircon actually there is zero impact on range…
@@BuckleUpShowdid you actually test the range?
