Hi People

New here from Zurich. Short before ordering a Honda e (Gray, Leather, Illumination-Package). Are there any information about updates of the current model? Or what they may have tweaked in the last years?

Thank you and see you soon.
Pat

Welcome to the group.

As for updates, other than a https://www.honda.co.uk/cars/new/honda-e/honda-e-limited-edition.html and the 'Rear Seat Belt Reminder Malfunction' recall there have been no revisions/updates to the car or its functionality.
The app has had updates, but no new features added, and it's still slow to respond.

In the UK (and possibly worldwide) the base model is no longer available to order on the Honda website.

Thank you, i really hope that the software will be keep updated the next years. i hope that the pressure of the tec companies have a certain effect, or not and apple will deliver the software via carplay.

That's not how it works unfortunately...

As I've discussed in another thread, there was no update to the car software since launch (so, 2 years now). I suspect, there might not be an update at all. Honda will launch new e-cars with updated software, and not develop the Honda e software any further. Unfortunately, nobody seems to do it the "Tesla way" and introduce new substantial functionality over time. At least, what is in there, works more reliably than in Tesla (I mean, lane assist, auto parking etc.

)

Yea. Actually i would like to see the new CarPlay in the Honda e. I read the discussion in another thread. Anyway, i like the car to much for skipping it because of a awful software. This car doesn’t make sense at all for my usecase anyway

BTW, what do you mean by new carplay? Latest carplay (ios16) just works with the car?

Apple introduced the new CarPlay at the WWDC this year. First supported cars should arrive in late 2023, Honda is part of the car brands who showed interest. It would just look super hot in the Honda e. Here you find some images.

I've somehow overlooked this. Looks really amazing! I have little hope for honda to adapt it in the e thou, however it looks as the perfect use case for this new system!

For that to happen Honda would have to integrate its API with carplay.. forget about it..
