Honda announced plans to bring its all-electric Super EV to the UK market in 2026. The compact city car will compete directly with the Dacia Spring, Leapmotor T03 and upcoming Renault Twingo.
The Super EV draws its foundation from the N-One e:, a Kei Car that Honda recently launched in Japan. Both vehicles share the same tall, boxy design language – complete with a flat bonnet and distinctive round headlights.
Design Changes for UK Market
Honda previewed the UK-spec model at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, revealing several key differences from its Japanese counterpart.
The Super EV features wider wheel arches than the domestic N-One e:. Cooling and aero ducts appear in the lower section of the front bumper, while a charging port sits between the headlights.
Performance specifications are expected to mirror the Japanese N-One e:, which uses a 63bhp motor and battery system borrowed from Honda’s 2024 N-Van:e commercial vehicle.
Range and Charging Capabilities
The N-One e: operates on a compact 29.3kWh lithium-ion battery pack that delivers an estimated 183 miles of WLTP range.
DC fast charging tops out at 50kW. A complete charge takes 4.5 hours using a 6kW AC charger.
Honda confirmed the Japanese model includes vehicle-to-home capability and one-pedal driving mode – features likely to carry over to the UK version.
The cabin design emphasizes practicality over luxury. A digital driver display replaces traditional gauges, while a full-width dashboard shelf provides storage for phones, wallets and other small items.
Second-row seats fold and slide for cargo flexibility. The seat cushions lift independently to accommodate tall objects – a feature Honda borrowed from its larger Jazz model.
Physical controls remain prominent throughout the interior. Higher trim levels get a 9-inch infotainment screen mounted on the dashboard.
Honda’s Electric Vehicle Strategy
The Super EV serves as a replacement for the Honda e, which struggled with limited range and high pricing during its brief UK run.
This launch represents part of Honda’s broader electric vehicle push. The company plans to introduce seven all-electric models by 2030 as part of its 0 Series lineup.
That roster includes another small SUV arriving next year, a seven-seat SUV for families, and a compact saloon.
Honda hasn’t announced UK pricing for the Super EV yet. The Japanese N-One e: starts around ¥2.7 million – roughly £13,250 at current exchange rates.
Industry analysts expect the Super EV to target the sub-£20,000 segment, putting it in direct competition with the next-generation Dacia Spring and the upcoming Renault Twingo electric.
