Model presentation The Honda e is a city car with a highly endearing neo-retro design, marking Honda's first serious foray into 100% electric vehicles (BEV) in Europe. Designed exclusively for the city, it stands out with its ultra-technological interior (dashboard composed of multiple screens), its standard camera-mirrors, and its exceptional turning radius thanks to its rear-wheel drive architecture (rear-mounted engine). Important note regarding the engine: Although the request targets a petrol engine, the Honda e was never produced with a combustion engine (petrol or diesel). It is an exclusively electric model.

BUY (under usage conditions) The Honda e is a masterpiece of urban engineering and an extremely reliable vehicle. The absence of a combustion engine, a complex gearbox, and Honda's mastery of power electronics make it a car without major mechanical worries. However, the purchase must be made with full knowledge of the facts: it is a niche vehicle, strictly limited to urban or peri-urban use due to its low range and small trunk. If your profile matches these constraints and you have a home charging solution, it is a highly recommendable passion purchase. Favor models whose 12V battery has been recently replaced and whose software updates are up to date.
