In the automotive field, which is accelerating in the era of pure electricity, Honda will not be willing to be a bystander of the era, even if it has sharp hybrid, but the pure electric transformation is also inevitable. Many car brands already have pure electric platforms, and not long ago, Honda's pure electric platform e:NP was officially released, joining the ranks of competition.
As honda's first pure electric vehicle model launched in China, the e:NS1 continues the core advantages of the e:NP platform and belongs to Honda's pioneering work in the transformation to pure electrification. e: NS1 positioning in the field of compact SUVs, but its body size is not small in visual effects, stemming from the factors of pure electric architecture, its appearance adopts a streamlined design, there is a simple style.
Because it is a pure electric energy model, the front grille adopts a closed design, but it still has a grille outline, and a Honda pure electric LOGO is embedded in the middle, which is a new LOGO, which is also the exclusive LOGO of the Honda pure electric model, and can also be lit with the vehicle unlocking, which has enough recognition at night.
Its wheel size is not small, the low-end E-version wheels are 17 inches, and the remaining model version is 18 inches, with a multi-spoke design. The length of the car is 4390mm, the wheelbase is reserved for 2610mm, the front and rear suspensions are relatively short, and the body space occupied by the machinery is not large, so the interior space has a good reservation.
A long strip of high brake light strips is embedded in the rear wing that extends out of the rear for warning. The tail lamp in the middle section adopts a penetrating shape design, and the interior of the lamp cavity has some blackening characteristics, but the whole lampshade looks more transparent.

Among them, the CLTC pure electric mileage of low-power models is 420 kilometers, and the CLTC pure electric mileage of high-power models is 510 kilometers, which is closer to the actual mileage and has a good competitiveness in the market.
The control response of this model is relatively refreshing, its power response is sharp, but it does not give people a feeling of breaking, and it is more linear in terms of throttle adjustment and brake adjustment, such a tuning level will make the user's riding experience in the car biased towards comfort, and will not be dizzy because of the rapid response of the power and the sense of braking forward.
It has three driving modes, these three driving modes are sporty, comfortable, economical, when switched to the sports driving mode, the three major pieces of targeted tuning with the innate advantage of the motor response will bring abundant power output, but such a power output is a gradual, gradually increasing process, and will not bring about a sense of abruptness in power, the middle and rear section has a strong explosive force.
Honda e: NS1 in terms of power control is better than the book parameters it gives, the steering wheel control point is also very accurate, and it is equipped with a single-speed transmission system for electric vehicles, so there is no power loss, plus the motor heat dissipation effect is relatively good, can give enough driving stability.
