Ny in Swedish means new. I guess here in Sweden we would pronounce it in Swedish lol. I can't even explain how to pronounce Y. A bit like u in French, just more yyyyy. Sorry, language teacher here. Lol
A great review from Imogen. Full of charm, enthusiasm and expertise. No disrespect to Jack or Elliot meant, but it’s nice to see a new voice with an alternate perspective in EV reviews on the channel.
Great review! Dry humor is fantastic. Appreciate having all the numbers laid out on one screen... Would be great to have that for all your vids. Easy way to compare
Oh my gosh who is this amazing human being. Love the change of pace, it's like having your best friend just chatting you through a car, only knowing so much more... I know so much more now than I did about lecy cars and I chuckled. Great add to a great crew. ❤🎉
@@skyhigheagleer6 it's a car. Cars are boring. That's why they invest so much money in advertising and marketing. They have to. It's a box you drive around in. Nothing more, honestly. Everything else is brainwashing and memories (doorhandles, steering wheel).
Loved this preview and the insight on the aero was a great approach compared with the typical "walk around and talk about the looks" that most channels do. Well done Imogen, please present more!! and include Teddy.
A nieche point I will accept, but I particularly liked using Bristol to Blackpool as a benchmark for range. Admittedly, this is because I grew up near Bristol and now live near Blackpool and use that journey, which I make fairly often without needing to stop as my "range test" when considering EVs so I enjoyed that. More universally, I really enjoyed that video. I liked getting the different perspectives you provided. Maybe you and Jack can double-team on some reviews in the future!
Since a couple of posts have been fairly unnecessary, here.. have some positivity... Smashing video, well presented, informative enough for a first view video, fun direction, nicely filmed and edited. 👍 Also nicely "not that person from top gear who's name would be much better forgotten and who's manner belongs in the 1950s". Jack.. take note.. Only mention this since it cropped up in other comments. Thank you 🙂
Terrible name. Why the Japanese have decided electric cars are best named a series of letters and numbers I don't know. It really takes away from the relatability of a car. Even 'anyone' is a terrible car name, and 'Ian-y-one' just makes it sound like it's a bit Ian-y (no offence to any Ians, but it doesn't fill me with excitement). When people talk about their Kona's or Niro's with affection it's missing a trick..
Imogen is prettier than Jack. (And Robert) I think the editors tried to impress her. There were lots of fun graphics and effects. But, she is a wonderful presenter. Humorous and informative.
I'm a Honda fan but this is frankly a half-assed job from Honda. They just made an EV out of the existing HRV. BTW the review from Immie is sharp and concise, doesn't need to be dragged on and on, yeah I'm talking about you Jack.
Either an MG4 or an entry level Tesla is a much better buy than this. Hell with the MG4 you could have a solar panel installation on your house with the money saved.
Great review Imogen. I liked the idea of getting into the driver’s seat with all the stuff we usually have in our hands, and also the quirky ending made me chuckle. I just prefer reviews with more logically sequenced chapters. Then again, maybe I’m missing something and it’ll grow on me. Either way, I hope Imogen will share more on screen time with Jack.
If this has a froot and is fairly close in price to the competition, and doesn't take six months to get hold of, then it's a great car and will do well. Love how you present; fun and comprehensive - thanks!
6 months to get a hold of ….. I wish.. we waited over 2 years for an Id.4 in Vancouver and gave up. Bought a new model 3 in 2 days and haven’t looked back.
Love all the FCS presenters but Imogen and Jack are my favourites. They make the presentation fun as well as informative. Like the real world examples as well, as form doesn’t always = function. I know this was in a studio but with outdoor tests how about seeing what it’s like in a multi story. Especially the bigger cars. I watched loads of Buzz reviews and only saw one newish channel take see how easy it was to park in cramped multi-storey.
Great review! Looks like a nice little wagon. Not going to be cheap. That screen looks really good, the practicality of having it in multiple zones make it so much more functional than one giant screen taht does one thing at a time.
Lovely and competent presenter! ^^ I'm looking forwad for more details about this car, I hope it will be as practical inside as a Jazz. Nonetheless, it was a pleasure
LOOOOOOVE the measuring of the boot. Dimensions of boot and vehicle matter greatly to family buyers. That should be a standard review feature but no channel/site I've found does this as standard. Also would be even better to also check under the (often) fake boot floor and measure the loading height in the boot since manufacturers tend to measure only about seat height for stating their volume in L; and does the car have a frunk? Thanks for adding these more often in future!
I seem to recall Carwow used to (and might still) do boot size checks by how many medium suitcases you could load in. For my measure, if it can take our massive double buggy flat, then it's plenty big.
Good points. I also hate the false floor as “cable storage.” Impossible to get to when you have stuff in the boot. A frunk big enough to put the cable would be very welcome in cars.
Ive always found volume to be a complete nonsense metric. The only reason they use it is because it gives them one number to "compare" others to and decide who "wins". Its silliness compounded on top of useless information.
Don’t think so. The car is ugly, boring and the name a catastrophe. Dear Honda, your heritage of the better days were called ‚Accord‘ or ‚Civic‘ and people loved reliability. You definitely do not understand electric. No model is really what the market expects from a good EV. Prefer an MG or BYD for a young family 😂
Great review and fresh approach of Imogen!! 😊. Jack scale really helpful and love that still cheeky “one take” approach. And Jack coming at the end to close the boot was funny. Hope it doesn’t mean though that Jack is leaving the channel. About the car…. Nah 🤷♂️. Shame a converted ICE platform but good that good quality and improved inside from ice one. But again, more options is a good thing.
Please can you add the boot measurements to your future reviews, it’s much more useful than capacity in litres and not all manufacturers provide the information.
I live in the US and I've had a Honda all my life (M31). I've always wanted an electric car and am looking to pull the trigger soon; however, it will pull me from the Honda brand that I loved since I was a kid. This looks amazing and just what I need. Please bring this to the US soon!!!!
I recently had the pleasure of driving an electric car, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. The smooth acceleration, whisper-quiet engine, and zero emissions made for a truly delightful ride. Not to mention the convenience of never having to visit a gas station again. Highly recommended!
Man, Europe has so many awesome EVs available! The options in the US are so limited, especially since I don't want a massive, absurdly heavy luxury car.
Great video! I would say the "hybrid versions" have been for sale for a few years now, it's the HR-V. Basically the same car but with a hybrid/ICE drivetrain, always thought it looks pretty cool so it's good to see an EV version and one with a decent range too after the somewhat limited E.
Good job, Imogen. My Model 3 is 3 years old and I still get a little frustrated at the screen. If your finger found a real button, you'd know when it was pressed but its easy (for whatever reason) not to make things work when you really need to keep your eyes on the road. Not sure if the Honda might end up the same. The Model 3 comes with a lot of piano black surfaces which are easy to get finger prints and scratches on. Makes it look very "second hand" easily. The solution was to buy a custom stick on wood effect (other effects were available) cover for the big areas of piano black. Surfaces are protected. Maybe they will come up with the same for the Honda. Not sure about the front charge port. I can see there could be issues with that depending on where you are charging. (its less safe to reverse out of parking bays for example). Overall I'd say this was a better effort from Honda.
Great review Imogen. It's a Honda, it's going to be beautifully built and will last forever. But it's a bit bland looking, and while I appreciate a non-grey colour scheme, I'm not keen on the insipid pale blue/green. Depending on the cost, could be a real winner for Honda. Hope it does well :-)
Oh boy - this is the best presenter yet - well done. (her name is Imogen?) . I really like how she entered the car with her stuff in hand. And her view points are ... well .... very good.
The side reminds me of my old yellow Honda CVCC. I like 😍 this too. I like her take on it too. Production is really great too on this video. Props to the set design ...like using the floor as a contrast
It would be amazing to have Imogen test cars for shorter people. Battery Life sometimes gets his wife to test cars and Cindy offers a nice perspective on if it suits someone who would normally have to sit on a cushion. Speaking as someone with a 5’ tall wife.
It looks like every other SUV out there, so they'd better get the price right or have it labelled another Compliance car. Well done Imogen for trying to inject some hyperbole, and well done Jack for injecting a "close" to remember.
Shame they couldn’t make an electric with the versatility and size of their Jazz and at sub £30k pricepoint - even with sub 200mile range Afraid the Chinese newcomers are going to wipe the floor with them ( and many others )
That was a fun watch indeed, as usual Imogen knocks the ball out of the park with her unique presenting style ... a few surprises though: - What, no mention of frunk/froot? Is this like a BMW? - Loved the gag at the end but shouldn't there be a way to open the boot from inside the car? Regarding naming, there must be a competition running among manufacturers (started by Audi a few years back) to make model numbers as difficult as possible. Especially with forced matches like "N for New" when was the last time a car was named "O for Old?" (Oldsmobile doesn't count)
Echoing other comments. Car: not competitive enough. Presenter: top class. Nice change in style and format. Liked the measurements, liked all the figures on one screen, and liked the overall approach.
Shock horror it has a rear wiper!!! Good looking car & a good review but once again, like all EV's, it's going to be too expensive. BYD Atto3 is under £40k & that's too much for a car that sells for £10k less in Australia. Can't help feeling us Brits are getting ripped off big time. Missing the fish tank though 🐟
It's why they refer to the UK as the "Treasure Island". 🙂 Does seem we're being ripped off (even the Chinese cars seem very expensive) sadly only way to get the prices cheaper is for everyone to not buy them. Guess it's pretty complicated
@@mrpugster Agreed. Problem is that the vast majority of EV drivers in the UK don't own their cars. They drive company lease cars or they are private PCP / HP. Anyone looking to actually spend their own cash & trade in an existing car is priced out of the market, at least for a new car. Which is why our first EV will be a used model later this year.
I own a Used 2015 Nissan Leaf Tekna that it’s just a couple of hundred miles off 60k miles. I live on the Isle Of Man and won’t take it off the island so even in the smallest battery it has enough range even in winter for my daily drive. It’s fully owned by myself with no finance etc on it .
I'm 6'6 ... having Jack review cars is the closest I've ever been to being able to trust a review to see if I'd fit in the car, which is my biggest limiting factor.
lol, absolutely ... I'm 6'6 and 280lbs ... it's a genuine problem in lots of ways, being able to physically fit behind the wheel of a car in something even vaguely resembling comfort is just one of them.
Excellent review! The car's pretty inoffensive, dare I say a little bland? That infotainment system is an interesting way of doing things though - quite impressed with it.
Imogen says she grew up with a Honda Jazz. Great. Kids now grow up with a big SUV taking them to school, when a small hatchback would do the job much better. (Or maybe a bike or walking would do even better).
what, the early 2000's Jazzs were tiny, only 150 inches long. And children only a few years earlier were transported in massive station wagons 230in long making 15mpg highway.
@@jordan177606 Well, growing up in the 90s, there were lots of families in the UK and Europe going on vacation (I assume you’re American) in small cars. They did the job. Now, we’ve convinced ourselves that we need big SUVs to do the same job, which we don’t. It makes way more sense to have a small car that can be easy to park in daily driving, and then have the ability to go on long trips, than having a bigger car that is impractical in daily life in tight urban streets.
@@christill growing up in the 70s/80s, my parents would have laughed if I'd asked them to taxi me to school. Half the traffic on the road in the morning is comprised of parents ferrying their kids to school.
@@kesgreen4639 Yep. And it’s far more stupid in the UK than bigger countries. Almost everyone lives easy walking or cycling distance from school. And we still jam up the roads with cars.
Nice review of Honda's new EV. Looks similar to a lot of other SUV EV's on the market, but Honda do make reliable & well put together cars! Just one observation on the interior - what is it with manufactures using BLACK headlining these days, with alot more black on the dash/doors, it makes the interior very dark & a sombre place to be! Why the change after many, many years of them using "light" headlinnings?
At last an effort from Honda that has usable range. Not convinced that £45,000 is a good starting price. Skoda Enyaq is better value and the VRS version is only just over £50k. Also the Tesla Model Y will out perform this in every single aspect. Still..... Well done Honda as it is miles better than Toyota's inefficient expensive disaster!
OEMs will put themselves out of business trying to compete with Tesla. Hyundai/Kia and VW look look more like the competitors they are gunning for to me.
This effort is better than nothing - which is what Honda offers in North America. Rumour has it that sales for Honda Canada are down 50% from 2002 - which was a rotten year for Honda sales too.
What young family can afford a car for this price? Maybe a few lucky ones but definitely only a small percentage. And those that can afford it might not even want it.
Sorry, but all I see is another overpriced, boring SUV look-alike. People paying in the order of 40K+, are seriously going to see their investment depreciate when the Chinese armada floods the market
It's quite simple really. If it's more expensive than the Tesla model 3/Y then it can't compete. Tesla's charging network knocks every other into touch and Tesla's software is generations ahead of the competition. Game over. Except I can't afford one :(
Big love to Imogen for stepping in for this one while I was away. Love her unique approach to a car vid and giggled way to much at "EEEE NWY".
Ny in Swedish means new. I guess here in Sweden we would pronounce it in Swedish lol.
I can't even explain how to pronounce Y. A bit like u in French, just more yyyyy.
Sorry, language teacher here. Lol
Turned out OK because Jack was never gonna fit in that boot.
Missed you big fella.
But Jack ... she just missed the joke right. E:NY1 is the car for "Anyone" ... ok a Dad Joke but there you are.
Maybe it was intentional (sneaky Honda... :D ): you Jack, make so many cars look small, while Imogen makes them look decently big. :D
Appreciate the _Jack for scale._ Helps to give a sense of how big the car actually is!
... how small the vehicle is. 😜
I have accepted that I am now just a unit of measurement
@@JackScarlett1😅
@Jack Scarlett how many Jacks can fit in the boot? You may need to have yourself measured in liters
@@JackScarlett1 Not a representative one unfortunately. You are off the charts my friend

And the preview is great! Great work for a first preview video of a new car. Thanks, Imogen and team. 👌
Great review from Imogen - and thanks for measuring the boot! Boot size and dimensions are really important for families, so this was great.
I was hoping she’d get in at the end. 😆
Your healthy BMI forces me to notice that very few Americans are avoiding blimping-out , such a sad state of affairs .
Lovely refreshing review. It's great to see such varied personal styles of your presenters.

Great review. Imogen is refreshing to these kinds of reviews.
A nieche point I will accept, but I particularly liked using Bristol to Blackpool as a benchmark for range. Admittedly, this is because I grew up near Bristol and now live near Blackpool and use that journey, which I make fairly often without needing to stop as my "range test" when considering EVs so I enjoyed that.
More universally, I really enjoyed that video. I liked getting the different perspectives you provided. Maybe you and Jack can double-team on some reviews in the future!

A young family affording a 45k car, next joke.
The debt crisis over the next decade is going to be fascinating.
Tbf most people only consider the monthly payment amount.
How much is it to buy and run an ice that size? Most people don't buy, they lease and the cost per month is cheeper overall.
Got a young family. Not earning a fortune. My Ioniq 5 cost £42k.
Leasing. It's how we do it.
Financing at 7-9% as well
I'm a Honda fan but this is frankly a half-assed job from Honda. They just made an EV out of the existing HRV.

Nice review. Love her vibe. So much talent among F.C. presenters.

Great video Imogen - I think "e:NY1" is meant to be pronounced as "Anyone!"
Does "Anyone" want this half-baked EV? nOh1
That's the first review I've ever seen that translates boot capacity into useful and meaningful measurements. Thank you so much!
Please can you add the boot measurements to your future reviews, it’s much more useful than capacity in litres and not all manufacturers provide the information.
I've love the height inside and the height from the ground too! But maybe I'm an odd one.
That boot cover system is pure genius. I wonder why this is the first time i see something like this.
Jack and Imogen should review cars meant for young families together to showcase the range of what, who fits best where.

Excellent review, fam. Great to see Honda knowing it’s market and making a sleek, sensible car that’s suitable for just about ANYONE! 🎉

Regarding naming, there must be a competition running among manufacturers (started by Audi a few years back) to make model numbers as difficult as possible. Especially with forced matches like "N for New" when was the last time a car was named "O for Old?" (Oldsmobile doesn't count)
Looks good, really good. If only the price is competitive.
Echoing other comments. Car: not competitive enough. Presenter: top class. Nice change in style and format. Liked the measurements, liked all the figures on one screen, and liked the overall approach.
Shock horror it has a rear wiper!!! Good looking car & a good review but once again, like all EV's, it's going to be too expensive. BYD Atto3 is under £40k & that's too much for a car that sells for £10k less in Australia. Can't help feeling us Brits are getting ripped off big time. Missing the fish tank though 🐟
True.. MG 4 seems better value electric car overall
EVs are also a rip-off in Australia. The cheapest EV I've seen here is around $45000.
It's why they refer to the UK as the "Treasure Island". 🙂 Does seem we're being ripped off (even the Chinese cars seem very expensive) sadly only way to get the prices cheaper is for everyone to not buy them. Guess it's pretty complicated
@@mrpugster Agreed. Problem is that the vast majority of EV drivers in the UK don't own their cars. They drive company lease cars or they are private PCP / HP. Anyone looking to actually spend their own cash & trade in an existing car is priced out of the market, at least for a new car. Which is why our first EV will be a used model later this year.
I own a Used 2015 Nissan Leaf Tekna that it’s just a couple of hundred miles off 60k miles.
I live on the Isle Of Man and won’t take it off the island so even in the smallest battery it has enough range even in winter for my daily drive.
It’s fully owned by myself with no finance etc on it .
The electric Jazz is one I'd love. With the space under the back seats!
Exactly! We need an electric Jazz!
I'm 6'6 ... having Jack review cars is the closest I've ever been to being able to trust a review to see if I'd fit in the car, which is my biggest limiting factor.
Exactly!
So that is why they call you Big Logan.
lol, absolutely ... I'm 6'6 and 280lbs ... it's a genuine problem in lots of ways, being able to physically fit behind the wheel of a car in something even vaguely resembling comfort is just one of them.
Nice ending 😀
Excellent review! The car's pretty inoffensive, dare I say a little bland? That infotainment system is an interesting way of doing things though - quite impressed with it.
Is it a BYD underneath the Honda badge?
Imogen says she grew up with a Honda Jazz. Great. Kids now grow up with a big SUV taking them to school, when a small hatchback would do the job much better. (Or maybe a bike or walking would do even better).
what, the early 2000's Jazzs were tiny, only 150 inches long. And children only a few years earlier were transported in massive station wagons 230in long making 15mpg highway.
@@jordan177606 Well, growing up in the 90s, there were lots of families in the UK and Europe going on vacation (I assume you’re American) in small cars. They did the job. Now, we’ve convinced ourselves that we need big SUVs to do the same job, which we don’t.
It makes way more sense to have a small car that can be easy to park in daily driving, and then have the ability to go on long trips, than having a bigger car that is impractical in daily life in tight urban streets.
(......Shuffles off to find old monty python sketch)
@@christill growing up in the 70s/80s, my parents would have laughed if I'd asked them to taxi me to school. Half the traffic on the road in the morning is comprised of parents ferrying their kids to school.
@@kesgreen4639 Yep. And it’s far more stupid in the UK than bigger countries. Almost everyone lives easy walking or cycling distance from school. And we still jam up the roads with cars.
Nice review of Honda's new EV. Looks similar to a lot of other SUV EV's on the market, but Honda do make reliable & well put together cars! Just one observation on the interior - what is it with manufactures using BLACK headlining these days, with alot more black on the dash/doors, it makes the interior very dark & a sombre place to be! Why the change after many, many years of them using "light" headlinnings?
At last an effort from Honda that has usable range. Not convinced that £45,000 is a good starting price. Skoda Enyaq is better value and the VRS version is only just over £50k. Also the Tesla Model Y will out perform this in every single aspect. Still..... Well done Honda as it is miles better than Toyota's inefficient expensive disaster!
OEMs will put themselves out of business trying to compete with Tesla. Hyundai/Kia and VW look look more like the competitors they are gunning for to me.
45 THOUSAND pounds? Ho-Lee Frunk!
Great video production on this one 😊
Thanks Rog!
Good review. The car has no better range and charging speed than a 2018 th eNiro.
Honda must try harder on efficency.
This effort is better than nothing - which is what Honda offers in North America. Rumour has it that sales for Honda Canada are down 50% from 2002 - which was a rotten year for Honda sales too.
Dbrand should make something for those fingerprints.... Hint hint 😉
Eghhh... another mid sized suburban SUV...
Your point being?
Yeah I know right? 🥱
Eeee 'n' why?
What young family can afford a car for this price? Maybe a few lucky ones but definitely only a small percentage. And those that can afford it might not even want it.
Sorry, but all I see is another overpriced, boring SUV look-alike. People paying in the order of 40K+, are seriously going to see their investment depreciate when the Chinese armada floods the market
It's quite simple really. If it's more expensive than the Tesla model 3/Y then it can't compete. Tesla's charging network knocks every other into touch and Tesla's software is generations ahead of the competition. Game over. Except I can't afford one :(
