The oddly-named e:Ny1 is aimed to pitch the Japanese brand squarely in the popular EV crossover market

The end result for Irish buyers is that the brand is being outsold by Porsche, Fiat and Polestar this year. It has four models on the market, the best-seller being the Jazz supermini. Limited supply of the new Civic – along with a relatively high price point – has left it with 56 new registrations of the model this year.

The front nose styling is more impressive in the metal than in photos, and the car is more substantial as well, similar to the HRV, from which it derives its looks. Honda is also quick to underline that the e:Ny1 is built on a new dedicated EV platform, while the interior has also been overhauled. The 15.1-inch centre screen is divided into three and it is really only the top third – of five inches – that you will engage with

The use of high gloss plastic mouldings may look nice now but leaves you wondering what they will be like after a few scratches or simple wear and tear As mentioned already, Honda claims a range of 410km from its 62kW of usable battery pack, which pits it in the middle rankings against its rivals. By the time we had clocked up 100km the car estimated our remaining range at 289km, but the on-board computer reckoned we could have garnered 31km if we turned the air-con off. Was it worth the sweaty effort? Probably not.
