Aptly named, the N-Box is Honda's entry into Japan's most-popular vehicle segment – the kei hatchback
And as you'd expect from Honda; it's peppy, feels tight, and is very smartly designed
Honda builds sharp and clever driving tools. At one point, it equipped most of its passenger car line-up with a sophisticated double-wishbone suspension setup.
It only took the Porsche 911 some 50+ years to get to that stage, and only just recently. When Honda builds a car, it does so properly and also finishes them with smart and user-friendly touches everywhere.
Those Honda ‘magic’ back seats are one such example. The second row of seats folds both up and down. It means you can either fold the seat base up to store things smartly or fold it completely flat to fit something huge. The second row of seating also slides and reclines and can fit either two adults or two child seats via ISOFIX mounting points.
It’s extremely comfy in every seat of the Honda N-Box Turbo. Other sweet touches include driving assistance mirrors that passively show you vision up, down, and side the car, as well as neat interior storage filled with USB charging ports.
The engine feels strong, and the ride is more controlled than other kei-class cars. If you’re after a second car to share with a new (or older) driver, then Honda’s N-Box is a smart solution.
