Read our privacy policy If you think about it, as you ought, the arrival of the battery electric car represents a mortal threat to most established makers of automobiles, and especially to those who’ve built up formidable technical expertise in the internal combustion engine. THE SPEC Honda e:Ny1 Advantage Price: £46,300 But, unlike the old ICE Hondas, this one doesn’t make you want to push things. The worst sin is that this very important car for Honda – a proudly independent but smaller player in a landscape of behemoths – is rather anonymous, and there’s no sense of it being as strong a contender as it needs to be. I’d say the e:Ny1 is not quite as pleasant to be in as the Jeep Avenger or BMW iX1, it’s behind the Kia Niro for efficiency, and it’s nowhere near as good value as the MG4, but for the Honda fan there is at least here a realistic step into the future.
