Honda is the latest automaker to announce a greener lineup for Europe where it will launch a purely electric subcompact crossover in 2023. It currently goes by the name of e:Ny1 Prototype, and if it looks familiar, there's a very good reason for that. It was first shown back in October 2021 as the e:NS1 and e:NP1 for China where the two will be made by the local Dongfeng Honda and GAC Honda joint ventures, respectively.
Of course, the similarities with the HR-V are quite obvious, despite the absence of a combustion engine. Speaking of which, Honda teased this week the HR-V for the United States as a different model. To our surprise, it's coming to Europe as well. It's billed as a C-segment crossover, which tells us it'll be bigger than the HR-V sold on the Old Continent. The plan is to have it on sale next year with a full hybrid powertrain.
