Steve Cropley of Autocar has reviewed the Honda e Advance, and here are just a few quotes from his article:

It's well-made, well-equipped and extremely cute.

On the road, the E combines the best of small cars and electric cars to make a really enjoyable driving experience.

Honda benchmarked this EV against bigger cars for refinement, and it most definitely shows.

Altogether, driving the E is an uplifting experience, which shows a new way for small cars - or at least for small cars that weigh 1.5 tonnes…
