Honda Motor launched two new electric crossovers, the e:NS1 and e:NP1, at the same time.
These machines are built on the e:N Architecture F platform, which uses a purely electric propulsion system. In terms of bodywork and chassis, the e:NS1 and e:NP1 are widely unified with the RV generation Honda Vezel / HR-V / X-RV produced since 2021 (they are offered in gasoline and hybrid versions). Outside, e:NS1 and e:NP1 slightly differ from each other by the front bumper group, at the same time, both electric vehicles differ in plumage from their counterparts with internal combustion engines - narrower block headlights and a plug in place of the traditional radiator grille are used.

The standard equipment of the machines, among other things, includes a media system with a 15.1-inch display and voice control, as well as monitoring the driver's condition with a camera directed at him (fixes fatigue and drowsiness - and takes action).
