Honda announced Thai pricing for the e:N2 at the Bangkok International Motor Show 2026: ฿1,429,000.
The timing was not incidental. Honda had just been pushed out of second place in the Thai market by BYD, which sold 12,791 cars in January 2026 — up 193.7% year-on-year.

It is a rebadged Honda e:NS2 from the Chinese market, and its footprint puts it close to C-segment SUV territory — comparable in size to a Honda CR-V or Toyota bZ4X.
Launch incentives included a free home charger with installation, a portable charger and one year of vehicle insurance, with the first 100 deposits also receiving a Honda Motocompacto electric scooter.
Honda also showed the sixth-generation Prelude and the Super EV Concept on its BIMS 2026 stand.
Two things to read carefully
1. The range figure is NEDC, not WLTP.
This matters more than it looks. NEDC is a considerably more optimistic test cycle than WLTP, so 530 km NEDC is not comparable to, say, the Tesla Model Y L’s 681 km WLTP or the Zeekr X’s 415 km WLTP. When you are cross-shopping, check which cycle each number came from before treating them as the same measurement.
In Phuket conditions — heat, humidity and air conditioning working hard — expect real-world range well below the NEDC figure.
2. It is imported, not assembled in Thailand.
Under EV3.5, the ฿50,000 subsidy applies only to electric vehicles assembled in Thailand with packs of 50 kWh or larger. A CBU import from China does not qualify.
That is a structural cost disadvantage against locally built rivals, and it is part of why the e:N2 sits where it does on price.
What Honda actually has going for it here
Service network depth. This is the argument that does not show up on a spec sheet and matters most over eight years. Honda has decades of dealer and parts infrastructure across Thailand, including the provinces — which is precisely what Thai buyers have watched newer brands fail to sustain.
NETA’s collapse and ORA Good Cat’s withdrawal from Thailand in February 2026, after 20,827 units sold here, both made the same point from the other direction.
For Honda EV owners in Phuket
Every EV, Honda included, runs a 12V battery that wakes the whole car and sits outside the high-voltage warranty. In Phuket’s heat it lasts roughly 18-24 months, and replacement runs ฿2,500-6,500.
The symptom is distinctive: full charge on the display, and a car that will not respond at all.
