WHY WE'RE RUNNING IT
To find out if Honda's first electric SUV can impress in a crowded class
I have treasured memories of the summer before last, centred on a hybrid crossover. Not something I ever thought I'd catch myself saying, but the Honda HR-V was beyond reproach when my best mate and I went on a transcontinental road trip during a heatwave. Totally reliable, very economical, comfy and enjoyable to drive, whether on autobahn or mountain pass, beautifully furnished inside with enough room for two mountain bikes in the back.
I was therefore dead keen to have a go in the new Honda e:Nyl, seeing as this is essentially a fully electric version of the HR-V. So I did. And goodness, where to start... Okay, let me deal with each area in turn apart from reliability, which, this being a Honda, was again perfect.
