Honda e real-world REVIEW - with 10 London landmarks CHALLENGE!

.............................................................

The Honda e is one of the most desirable electric cars of 2020… And Mat’s finally got his hands on one!

However, while it might have initially caught our eye with its looks, is it more style over substance? Or is the Honda e a serious contender to stand out in the ever-growing market of small electric cars?

Well with a range of only 137 miles it’s unlikely to be able to compete with some of the bigger, more expensive EVs, but how does it work as a little city runaround? We’ve set a series of 10 challenges through the centre of London to see just how Honda’s new EV can cope when put to the test through one of the busiest cities in Europe! Will it pass with flying colours? Stick with Mat to find out!

Fun fact: The camera used to film from inside the car was older then the landmarks Matt was driving around to.

The Honda E feels like what the Nissan Leaf wanted to be. A perfect city cruiser that pushes you into the future while being familiar. I actually like it!

[paraknasish]

This car actually looks sick for some reason. It feels like it has so much styling potential like the old school VW GTI's

[CharieC]

Just plug your car's charger into the 3-pin socket inside the car. Infinite power!

I’d love to see Matt vs Yainni just running

2020: _Voltage kicked in yo!_

[DavidIvan]

are we just gonna ignore the fact that this is an electric RWD hatchback? Rear Wheel Drive. You could theoretically drift this thing

[tomasso]

I love how you compensated for emissions saved by the Honda e by using A45 AMG as the camera car 😂😂😂

[TechdubberStudios]

Interior designer: - How many screens do you want?
CEO Answer: - Yes.

I love the Honda e, by far my favourite EV, but for £30k and 100 miles of usable range, it's a hard no. If the range was comparable to that of a model 3, they would sell like hotcakes.

"Power station getting redeveloped as a shopping centre."

Most British thing I've heard in a while.

[samiadb]

Love how you offset your 0 carbon emissions by following it around with the a45 😂

[micaelsvntos]

One humble man, managed to defeat a whole TopGear.

1 of the best car/product review videos I’ve seen. I liked how he described the journey while explaining the car’s features and its advantages/drawbacks. Please make more similar car review videos in other cities. This format is Awesome! 👌🏼👏🏼

The Queen is in residence when the Royal Standard is flown, not the Union Jack

[barny]

The queen wasn't in, if the queen is in the Royal Standard is flying otherwise it's the union jack.

[ridgefrost]

Thats actually why i like this car its practically a dream of mine

Having a retro car with modern tech

[caglioso]

I feel like Mat is looking at this car the wrong way. He seems to want it to be as big as modern hatchbacks with loads of space. But it’s a small city commuter car, not a cruiser built for road trips. It’s called the Urban EV after all!
