“The Honda e is a groundbreaking little car, and one which will undoubtedly prove immensely popular. Yes, you could say that the range restricts it, but for those who want a car which is easy to nip here and there in – charging on the fly – then it more than fits the bill.”

“Just a little more range would make the Honda e more appealing, but it’ll likely be fine for how most owners will use it. What you can’t deny is that Honda’s execution is superb; the e drives nicely, it’s comfortable, refined and even fun.”

“For anyone already resolved that a short-range electric car would suit just fine, it could be first in the queue – but, we fear, that won’t be a great many.”

“Honda benchmarked this EV against bigger cars for refinement, and it most definitely shows. This is one car you can drive in urban areas without being constantly reminded of the ravaged state of Britain’s roads. Altogether, driving the Honda e is an uplifting experience, which shows a new way for small cars – or at least for small cars that weigh 1.5 tonnes…”

“The Honda e is a ground-breaking EV, from its design and drive to its multiscreen infotainment system. The latter especially feels way ahead of all other cars sold in the UK (large and luxury ones included). Drive and see for yourself.”

“The Honda e is one of the most eye-grabbing electric cars we’ve yet seen. It’s a joy to drive, and Honda has hit the bullseye first time out of the box with its first fully electric production car. It has certainly opened our eyes to how electric cars should drive.”

“The Honda e looks brilliant, has interior technology that can rival luxury cars and is a brilliantly unique model that is a fantastic showcase for how innovative Honda can be when its engineers and designers can let their hair down. But the range and price are two sticking points.”

“The Honda e looks like a CCTV control centre inside and a surprised panda outside. You’ll be surprised, too, when you see how much it costs given its modest range.”

“Range and, to a lesser extent, price are big barriers to what is an otherwise excellent little car. Practicality is compromised for the sake of style, but it does it that very well.”

“You can fall very quickly and deeply for the charms of Honda’s new all-electric supermini. The Honda e is eye-catchingly cute, has bags of personality, a lively pace, and a great sense of style without being overly formal, and is a comfortable and interesting companion with which to hang out and chill.”

“The Honda e is great looking but its limited range and high price is going to make it a rare sight on our roads. It’s a car that’s easy to love but Volkswagen’s e-Up – that costs £6,000 less yet has a longer range – is a much more logical buy.”

“Honda’s first electric car is more than a pretty face, it’s crammed with tech and rewardingly fun to drive, but you can’t get away from that limited range and hefty price tag. The truth of the matter is range anxiety is just that, the majority of us don’t need to feel anxious with a 100-plus miles of range.”

“Honda believes that two-thirds of its global car sales will feature some form of electrification by 2030. The Honda e is an encouraging glimpse into that future, but it’s been made available to sample now.”

“We have no doubt that the Honda e will be popular. The stunning looks mean it will easily turn more heads than most exotic supercars. But it’s impossible to ignore its limited range and lack of practicality in a market that’s becoming increasingly competitive and will only become more so.”

“The Honda e is the must-have car of the moment. It combines quirky looks with a superb, modern interior and technology to keep even the most flippant of car buyers entertained. But its limited range means it won’t suit everyone’s needs, and there are more practical options on the market.”

“There’s much to like in this little Honda e. It’s refined, charming and feels quite fun to drive. But the rear seats are small, the luggage space tiny and the low range will put off some, while the e’s low efficiency is not what we expect of this Japanese car maker. “

“The Honda e is a car you buy because you love the way it looks. And it’s an electric car that’s good fun to drive, well-equipped and relatively upmarket inside. Sadly, with a limited range, a confusing infotainment system, a high price and a tiny boot, it’s objectively harder to recommend than many rivals.”

“On looks and feel alone, the Honda e will convince many buyers, with its very special design both inside and out. Everything is easy to use, and the driving experience is surprisingly mature. While boot space and electric range may limit it to commuting and urban duties, the Honda e is an impressive car and a Which? Best Buy.”
