e:N1 - A New Frontier For Honda

Daniel Fernandez, Managing Editor, dsf.my

e:N1 - A New Frontier For Honda

Honda's first EV in Malaysia, the e:N1, was highly anticipated, and now that it’s officially here, what’s the verdict? Daniel shares his thoughts after test driving the car, and contextualising its existence with its competitors here.

But before we get to that, we also unpack why Honda and its peers from Japan and Europe are now struggling to compete with the Chinese brands that are thriving all across the globe. What went wrong, and how can they compete again?

In our news segment, we preview the Proton e.MAS 5, ahead of its official launch anytime soon, as well as talk about MG Cybersters’ success here, and Mercedes GLC’s new front grille that has been teased.
