Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has officially commenced sales of the all-new Honda Super-ONE compact EV in Japan from April 22, 2026.
Developed under the grand concept of “e: Dash BOOSTER,” the Super-ONE is designed to turn everyday mobility into a more exciting and uplifting experience. Based on the Honda N-ONE e:, the new compact EV features a dedicated chassis with a wider body stance and incorporates a range of features aimed at enhancing in-car comfort and enjoyment for customers.
The name “Super-ONE” reflects Honda’s ambition to create a vehicle that goes beyond conventional EV and mini-vehicle standards (“super”), while delivering a unique value proposition that only Honda can offer (“one and only”).
In addition to excellent environmental performance and everyday usability, the Super-ONE will deliver an exciting and uplifting driving experience by combining the “joy of driving” enabled by the sporty driving characteristics unique to compact EVs, with sensory experiences that stimulate all of the driver’s senses, including visual and auditory senses.
Honda is now adding the Super-ONE as a model with enhanced value derived from its “fun” characteristics to its EV lineup that includes the N-VAN e: commercial-use mini-EV, the N-ONE e: mini-EV, and the all-new Insight crossover passenger EV. Moreover, Honda will continue to expand its EV lineup in line with the needs of the customers in Japan, including the scheduled launch of an EV variation of the popular N-BOX in 2028.
Key features of the Super-ONE
Design
As key feature of the exterior design, the blister fenders encasing the wide tires emphasize a low and wide stance, expressing a sense of dynamic driving. Moreover, the aerodynamic design developed exclusively for this model, inducing front and rear air ducts, combines practical features that support excellent driving performance, with functional beauty.
For the interior, the sports seats designed exclusively for this model feature the asymmetric layout of blue surface material, adding a sense of playfulness, and the horizontal orientation of the instrument panel realizes a clear field of vision which will enable the driver to focus more on driving.
Packaging
Based on the N-ONE e: platform, which realized a surprisingly spacious cabin that defies its compact exterior, the tread was widened by 10 mm, resulting in further enhanced handling performance. The Super-ONE inherits the dive-down and tip-up mechanism of rear seats from the N Series, delivering both the spatial value of the vehicle and fun driving experience at a high level.
Dynamics
Featuring a lightest-in-class vehicle weight of 1,090 kg, a wide tread of 1,345 mm and wide, large-diameter tires, the Super-ONE achieves excellent handling with high stability even during cornering and at high-speed driving. In addition, five drive modes — ECON, CITY, NORMAL, SPORT, and BOOST — are available, enabling the driver to select according to their preference. In the CITY mode, the driver can use the Single Pedal Control (One-pedal Driving) function which enables the driver to accelerate, decelerate and even bring the vehicle to a complete stop using only the accelerator pedal.
Power unit
The adoption of a compact e-Axle and a slim, high-capacity battery enhances the spatial value of the Super-ONE. The BOOST Mode developed exclusively for this model increases the maximum power output from 47kW of the NORMAL Modes to 70kW to enable the power unit to fully unleash its performance potential to realize powerful and sharp acceleration.
Moreover, by synchronizing the simulated 7-speed transmission that reproduces the gearshift feel of a traditional multi-gear transmission and the Active Sound Control system that produces and plays a powerful, “virtual” engine sound inside the cabin in accordance with driver input through the accelerator, the Super-ONE enables the driver to enjoy the feeling as if driving an engine-powered sporty vehicle, while offering the advantage of an EV. In addition to enhanced output and sound effects, visual excitement is also created through LED instrument panel line illumination on the front passenger side and a triple-meter display that changes from blue to purple when BOOST Mode is activated.
The Super-ONE realizes a range per charge of 274 km (170 miles)in WLTC mode, and a charging time of approximately 4.5 hours with regular charging and approximately 30 minuteswith fast charging, reducing the stress of waiting for a charge.
Furthermore, with the use of the Honda Power Supply Connector, an external AC power output device, the Super-ONE can output electricity of up to 1,500W, which can be utilized to use electric appliances away from home and/or as a backup power source in case of emergency.
Other features
The Super-ONE became the first Honda compact model in Japan to be equipped with the Bose Premium Sound System as standard equipment. The system was developed jointly with BOSE Corporation, adopting the Bose original Dynamic Speed Compensation technology. The system includes eight speakers including a 13.1-liter high-capacity subwoofer installed in the cargo area and delivers well-balanced and high-quality sounds – from powerful deep bass to clear highs – and delivers an immersive audio experience.
Moreover, the Super-ONE is equipped with a 9-inch Honda CONNECT display with Googleas standard equipment. In addition to supporting a wide range of services offered through Honda Total Care Premium, the system enables seamless use of a variety of applications, including Google Maps, between the Super-ONE and the user’s smartphone.
The all-new Honda Super-ONE comes equipped with Honda SENSING as standard, offering a comprehensive suite of advanced safety and driver-assist technologies. Key features include Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow, Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Traffic Jam Assist, Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), Traffic Sign Recognition, Auto High Beam Headlights, parking sensors, and multiple low-speed collision and unintended acceleration mitigation functions.
In Japan, the Honda Super-ONE is priced at 3,390,200 yen (including 10% consumption tax) for the FF variant with seating capacity for four occupants.
The compact EV will be available in a range of exterior shades, including the newly introduced Boost Violet Pearl, along with Platinum White Pearl, Charge Yellow, Luminous Gray, and Crystal Black Pearl. Customers can also choose from several two-tone combinations paired with a black roof.
