From £44,100

From £44,100?

I really like Honda, but with the e:Ny1 they are really pricing themselves out of the market. As a possible electric successor to our Jazz, I really would like to see a Honda again. But when I make a comparison between the e:Ny1 and another possible candidate (which is actually also a bit too big for the two of us), I'm really shocked...
I will show the other possible candidate below to compare to the Honda:

https://www.carwow.co.uk/honda/eny1  vs  https://www.carwow.co.uk/byd/dolphin#gref

Similar range, (safer) lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, BYD fits a heat pump as standard to all cars, as well as electrically adjustable vegan leather seats, has always metallic paint, a (slightly) faster charging speed etc. etc.

And.... a much, much more attractive price tag...:
150kW Comfort 60.4kWh Auto   £29,311
150kW Design 60.4kWh 5dr Auto   £30,766

Honda: five-year, 90,000-mile warranty.
BYD:  six-year, 93,750-mile warranty, eight years on the drive motor and battery, the latter also extending out to 125,000 miles.

Is the future large SUV types to accommodate the battery packs ?

Not for me

[Nicksey]

Ridiculous amount of money for something you would do the shopping in. I have had this email, and one from Renault too. They are ceasing production of the Zoe, and bringing out the Renault 5 as an EV. These other EV SUV type things are far too big and cumbersome for my taste. My neighbour has a Merc EV, which is a company car. She hates it because not only is it too big, it also cannot be relied on to cover the distances she did previously. Now she has to plan her trips to the 'nth degree so she can find a charging point. I will stick to my 560 mile a tank Jazz thankyou very much.

Also received the marketing email. Offering £8000 PCP contribution so they must be struggling to shift them. Not surprised at that price!

[embee]

Silly money. However good it might be I'm not spending anything like that amount on a leccy car. The world's gone bonkers.

I too received the email, along with others from Honda promoting the CRV, HRV, ZRV Civic and Jazz.
The only one not offering a deal on was the Jazz, which suggests it is the only one selling. As I have already stated I think Honda has just become too expensive, I would not pay £48k for top of the range CRV etc.
They are nearly all above £40k except of course the Jazz, but that is pricey, mitigated by having a Jazz to part  ex, if you are lucky.
We live in strange times.

No way is the e:Ny1 the successor to the Jazz,  Honda will need to bring out an EV Jazz pretty soon or lose its market share.

Same here , I had that email, it’s a joke , I have only had my JazZ three months, why would I want to sell it

I thought my new 71 plate jazz was expensive even after a cash discount ! If I wanted to buy a new jazz today to replace it then its25% more expensive! My purchase my based on the clever hybrid drive and at that time the nearest size car to my previous Nissan notes . I would never pay silly money upwards of 25k for any car as I have better things to do with my money than throw it away on car depreciation and running costs . EVs not in my lifetime

[Kremmen]

Same here, fully agree

[madasafish]

The Chinese with the  £26k MG4 and the £36k Tesla offer far better VFM.

Some Government dept have decided to cancel private ownership of all cars & vans hence the current complications......

[Lord Voltermore]

It was a shock when my Toyota Yaris broke the £10K  barrier back in 2007. More than my first house .   And my mk4 Jazz broke the £20K barrier  -( partly due to hybrid tech and a higher spec than I would normally have chosen)   

£44K     You know things are bad when they emphasise  deposit contribution  and % APR figures instead. .

I am coming to the end of my motoring career so the Jazz will almost certainly be my last car. The Honda EV isn't even close to being competitive with other EV offerings on the market.
