The e:Ny1 is expected to offer good features and performance and should attract many customers in the overseas markets.

On the sides, the SUV is flanked by black B-pillars, heavily-raked C-pillars, indicator-mounted ORVMs, sharp body lines, and designer multi-spoke wheels. A fastback-style tailgate, a full-width LED taillamp, and "HONDA" lettering grace the rear end of the car.
