Honda e 2021 review: Keeper or heartbreaker? In-depth review with Nicki Shields / Electrifying

Read our full review of the Honda e here: https://www.electrifying.com/reviews/honda/e/review

The Honda e is really cute. In fact, most buyers will forgive it any other shortcomings just because it looks so good, both inside and out.

It has a distinctly retro flavour, harking back to the earliest Honda cars of the 1970s, but the technology is bang up to date and in some cases even betters that fitted to £100,000+ models. In an effort to outdo Tesla, the Honda even has a setting to turn the dashboard into a virtual fish tank.

But all this style comes at a price. It might seem cheap compared to those big Teslas and the other posh brands, but the Honda’s base price of just over £26,000 seems a bit steep compared to other small electric cars with similar (or even better) battery capacities.

Once you’ve got charge, the e is good fun to drive. There are two motors available, a 134bhp basic and 151bhp for the posher ‘Advance’ model. The motor powers the rear wheels, which means you don’t get any of the boy-racer style wheel spins that can affect some electric cars if you are a bit keen on the accelerator pedal.

But is the Honda e just too cute for its own good? Nicki Shields finds out.
