Honda e:Ny1: electric compact SUV, battery and trim levels
Honda e:Ny1 — Honda's first electric compact SUV for the European market, launched in 2023. We review the battery, charging, trim levels and what you need to know before buying a used or low-mileage e:Ny1.
e:Ny1 in brief
The e:Ny1 is a fully electric compact SUV built on a dedicated electric vehicle platform. It's a practical family car designed for daily city driving and road trips.
The interior is modernly equipped: a large touchscreen, digital instrument cluster and plenty of driver-assistance systems. Honda particularly emphasizes comfort and ease of use.
What sets the e:Ny1 apart
The model is offered with a single gear — front-wheel drive, with one electric motor. It's a simple, uncomplicated configuration that's easy for buyers to understand.
The main competition comes from other electric compact SUVs, such as the Volkswagen ID.3, Kia Niro EV and similar. The e:Ny1 stands out with Honda's reputation for reliability and a well-thought-out interior.
The used market offer is still small, so it's worth comparing prices and trim levels. The most important factors are service history, battery condition and remaining manufacturer warranty.
Battery, power and charging
The e:Ny1 has a roughly 69 kWh battery pack and a 204 HP electric motor. The declared range according to the WLTP cycle reaches several hundred kilometres, but the real-world range depends on speed, temperature and driving style.
The car can be charged at home with an AC charger or at public DC stations. Charging time depends on the station's power.
There's no gearbox — a single-speed reducer is used.
What to check when buying a used e:Ny1
First, request the battery's condition data and check the remaining manufacturer's warranty. Test the real driving range and charging at AC and DC stations.
Check the brakes, tyres, and suspension, as electric cars are heavier and wear tyres faster. Ensure the screens, cameras, and driver-assistance systems work.
Check if the software has been updated and if all manufacturer recall work has been done.
