Honda Malaysia unveils e:N1 Model at 2024 KLIMS, set for launch in 2025?

At KLIMS 2024, Honda Malaysia not only showcased the concept coupe model, Honda Prelude, but also unveiled an electric SUV – the Honda e:N1.

Despite sharing a similar appearance to the Honda HR-V, the e:N1 utilizes the e:N Architecture F platform, which offers a more rigid body structure, a lower center of gravity, and a more aerodynamic underbody.

It is powered by a front-wheel-drive electric motor that delivers 201 hp and 310 Nm of torque, paired with a 68.8 kWh battery pack.

With a full charge, the e:N1 can travel up to 412 km.

What sets the e:N1 apart from the standard HR-V is the presence of a charging port that replaces the front grille structure, along with the words “Honda” displayed in a more modern font at the rear.

The layout of the e:N1’s cabin also appears quite different from the HR-V, featuring a 15-inch central screen, a 10.25-inch digital cluster screen, and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

At this time, Honda Malaysia has not officially revealed the detailed specifications for the e:N1 in the local market.

However, it is expected to be the first electric vehicle officially brought into the country by Honda Malaysia, with its launch scheduled for next year (2025).

For your information, Honda has already started production of the Honda e:N1 electric SUV at the Rojana Industrial Park in Prachinburi Province, Thailand by the end of 2023.

The real question is, what will be the selling price set by Honda Malaysia for the e:N1 model? Currently, the Honda HR-V e:HEV variant available in the Malaysian market is priced at RM140,800.
