At the Tokyo Motor Show this week, Honda announced a pretty much final version of its new small electric car. The Super EV Concept shown off at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this summer has now become the Honda Super-N, and - it has been confirmed for the UK market in 2026.

The Super-N I pretty similar to the N-One e, which itself is an electrified version of the petrol N-One kei car sold in Japan. However, for the Super-N, Honda has changed a lot of the core components underneath and outside, it has a wider stance than the version sold in Japan and it almost looks like a little kei car hot hatchback with the red accents, wide arches and little spoiler.

Honda is playing its cards vey close to its chest in terms of the specifications and range, with practically nothing known about the battery size, estimated range or power levels. There is however, a boost mode which is designed to incorporate fake gearshifts an engine noises. Sounds like a baby Hyundai Ioniq 5N? There is also some paddles like the 5N, to play around with the fake gearbox and have some fun while driving.

For reference, the N-One e sold in Japan has a 82.7Ah / 358V battery (works out to be 29.6kWh) and quotes 167 miles of range. This battery makes it a tad smaller than the outgoing Honda e, which had at best, 100 miles of range. Hopefully Honda has made the battery in this Super-N version a bit larger.

Rather than going back to the very futuristic huge screen layout and digital mirrors from the Honda e (which no doubt added a lot of cost), Honda has essentially raided the parts bin, with simple components and the same infotainment system found in the existing lineup.

This version is an officially a prototype for now, but the company has added in quite nice looking bucket seats in a two-tone white and blue, with blue accent lighting. The interior looks simple in photos, but you just know it'll be very good quality.

As of writing, no pricing has been revealed. One of the main downsides with the outgoing Honda e, which before it was removed from sale in 2023, was listed at around £37,000. Since then, many new small EVs have entered the market, with the likes of the Renault 5, Hyundai Inster and the BYD Dolphin Surf. So Honda will need to price it well.
