Auto Express

Further to the mention elsewhere of Honda's press launch activity this week, the current edition of Auto Express features their first drive of the UK version. They confirm that the battery's usable capacity is 28.5kWh, and give the car 4 stars out of 5 overall. Their initial verdict:

JUST a little more range would make the Honda e more appealing, but it'll likely be fine for how most owners will use it. What you can't deny is that Honda's execution is superb; the e drives nicely, it's comfortable, refined and even fun. It lacks a little practicality, but the tech and style on offer is pretty much unsurpassed on the compact EV market. It's not without fault, but this is a strong first foray into the world of modern electrification from Honda.
