Honda Super‑One/Super‑N EV Sets May Japan Launch and July UK Debut Under £20,000

The small EV trades long range for low weight with a playful Boost mode tailored to right‑hand‑drive markets.

Overview

  • Honda has opened preorders in Japan, with first deliveries due in late May and UK showroom arrivals set for July at a starting price below £20,000.
  • The compact motor makes about 63 hp in normal driving and rises to about 94 hp in Boost mode, which adds simulated seven‑speed shifts, engine sounds through the speakers, and purple cabin lighting.
  • Honda quotes up to 199 miles of city range and 128 miles combined, and the roughly 1,090 kg curb weight comes from a slim battery mounted low in the center of the floor for a lower center of gravity.
  • Built on a widened version of Honda’s N Series kei‑car platform, the car has been tuned on UK roads and is confirmed for right‑hand‑drive markets including Japan, the UK, Australia, and Thailand.
  • Honda Access and tuner Mugen will offer retro‑styled kits and handling parts in Japan starting late May, focusing on looks and chassis feel rather than increasing the motor’s output.
