Aptly named, the N-Box is Honda's offering in Japan's most-popular vehicle segment – the kei hatchback
And as you'd expect from Honda; it's peppy, feels tight to drive, and is very smartly designed
Honda really are the BMW of Japan.
They build sharp and clever driving tools, and at one point 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 recently. Honda builds cars properly, and also believes in smart design. You’ll added convenience features dotted throughout the Honda N Box, like extra side-view mirrors and smart storage spaces.
Those Honda ‘magic’ back seats are another such example of smart design. The second row of seatings 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 Custom. The engine feels strong, and the ride more controller than other kei-class cars
I looks the most-resolved too; almost steely and serious.
