Honda is making a bold statement in the EV firmament with the announcement of the e:Ny1 electric SUV in Europe. The Honda e:Ny1 has some illuminating design features and comes with a range of 412km (256 miles). Honda says that the e:Ny1 will deliver a fun, dynamic ride with a range that compares with some of the heavy hitters like Tesla and Kia in Europe.

The e:Ny1 EV is Honda’s second electric model in Europe and is a larger alternative to the more compact Honda e. The e:Ny1 is a crossover SUV and Honda expects it to square up against the Kia Niro EV, the Subaru Solterra, and the Volkswagen ID.4, amongst others. It is equipped with a 68.8kWh battery and a 150kW single-motor front-wheel-drive electric drivetrain. Design-wise, the Honda e:Ny1 has a short hood and a long roof that slopes downwards towards the rear. The SUV bears some semblance with an oversized fastback.

The interior of the Honda e:Ny1 is quite spacious and exquisite. The absence of a transmission channel and a low floor arrangement makes the interior of the EV to be spacious. The e:Ny1 has a 15.1-inch vertically-oriented infotainment touchscreen in the center while cruise control and media buttons are on the steering wheel.

Honda enters the fiercely competitive EV market with the e:Ny1 EV

The car can be rapidly charged via DC that delivers up to 70% of charge in 45 minutes. The e:Ny1 will berth in Europe later this year but Honda is yet to release pricing information for the model. Some sources indicate that the estimated price of the Honda e:Ny1 EV is around $38,000.
