Small but nice
Meet the Honda N-One Prototype. This is a small electric city car whose production version will also come to Europe as the Honda One-N!
During the Japan Mobility Show, Honda unveiled the Super-One Prototype. This is a precursor to a compact electric city car that will be marketed in Japan as the Super-One, but won’t stay there. The small electric Honda will be marketed as the Super-N in the United Kingdom. Whether the small car will come to the rest of Europe? That remains to be seen. It’s possible that the small Honda meets all requirements in the United Kingdom but not elsewhere. After all, it’s no longer an EU country.
Anyway: the Honda Super-One – or Super-N – is based on the kei-car N-One. It shares much of its bodywork with that model. According to Honda, the car is developed to make every daily ride an exciting, uplifting experience. The small Honda achieves this thanks to features like Boost Mode, a driving mode where the car releases its full but unspecified power and pretends to have a seven-speed transmission. This is complemented by Active Sound Control, which is supposed to make the “shifting” an audible celebration.
The small Inster-like car peers somewhat innocently at the world, but looks a bit tough with its sporty wheels, “thick” bumpers, and extended wheel arches front and rear. The relatively simple dashboard closely resembles that of the kei-car N-WGN, although there are some different details. Just look at the ventilation grilles.
Honda does not share technical specifications, so we don’t know how powerful the Super-One Prototype is. Honda also doesn’t share data about the battery, range, or charging capacity.
