The Chinese-built Honda e:NY1 never managed to gain traction in the Old Continent against more sophisticated rivals

April 20, 2026 at 14:54

• Honda is withdrawing the e:Ny1 SUV from European markets.
• Global EV plans, including the Sony Afeela, have been canceled.
• The new Super-N hatchback arrives in Europe and the UK in July.

Honda is preparing to pull the plug on its only fully electric model currently sold in Europe. As part of a rethink of its EV strategy, the automaker will take the e:Ny1 off sale just three years after it arrived. That sounds abrupt, and it is. Still, this is not a full retreat. The upcoming Super-N hatchback is waiting in the wings, positioned to step in where the e:Ny1 leaves off, albeit in a completely different category.

A product of Honda’s joint venture with Dongfeng, the e:Ny1 arrived in Europe in mid-2023 as the electric sibling to the local-spec HR-V. Though it looks very similar to the hybrid crossover, it was originally born in China where it is sold as the e:NS1 and e:NP1 since 2022.

As reported by German newspaper Handelsblatt, the e:Ny1 has already been removed from configurators in several major markets including Germany, Italy, and Spain. The SUV remains available to order in France and Austria, but Honda is reportedly funneling its remaining inventory toward the UK and Nordic regions, where demand is stronger.

Overall, the EV struggled to gain traction against more modern and affordable rivals from European and Chinese brands. Despite reducing its price from €47,590 ($56,100) to €38,990 ($46,000) in Germany, Honda only managed to sell 105 units of the e:Ny1 last year.

The e:Ny1 rides on the “e:N Architecture F” platform and comes fitted with a single electric motor producing 201 hp (150 kW / 204 PS). A 68.8 kWh battery offers a WLTP range of 412 km (256 miles). Differences with the EU-spec HR-V include the redesigned face with a charging port on the grille, the clear taillights, and the 15.1-inch portrait touchscreen inside.

Honda Takes A Step Back

This European downsizing is mirrored by a broader global pivot. Honda recently confirmed the cancellation of various planned EVs originally destined for North America. These include the Acura RSX, the 0 Series Saloon and SUV, as well as the Afeela sedan and SUV from the Sony Honda Mobility joint venture.

Despite the gloomy outlook for its larger EVs, Honda isn’t pulling the plug entirely. The Super-N will reach UK and Europe shortly after its initial roll-out in Japan. The pint-sized electric hatchback is inspired by the Honda City Turbo II, with a sporty bodykit and a 94 hp electric motor. More importantly, it will start from under £20,000 (€23,000 / $27,100) in Europe, hoping to win over buyers with its affordable price and Japanese charm.

The rest of Honda’s European lineup is exclusively available with self-charging hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, as all ICE-only offerings were phased out in late 2022.
