Honda’s pint-sized Super-One has stepped out of concept territory and into production form, bringing more attitude (and more theatre) to the brand’s smallest EV … Local specification and pricing details are still to come, but the Super-One is shaping up to be the cheekiest small EV Honda has built in years. – Jet Sanchez for Driven Car Guide

About the Honda Super-ONE

Note: details quoted here from the press release for the overseas model may not match those available in New Zealand. Check with our team to confirm.

With the grand concept defined as “e: Dash BOOSTER,” the Super-ONE was developed as an A-segment compact EV designed to transform everyday mobility into an exciting and uplifting experience by adopting a variety of features that make the in-vehicle experience more enjoyable for customers. The name “Super-ONE” represents the aspiration of Honda to create a vehicle that transcends conventional norms for EVs and standards of mini-vehicles (“super”) and delivers customer value unique only to Honda (“one and only”).

In addition to excellent environmental performance and usability for everyday use, the “fun of driving” characteristics unique to Honda were pursued for the Super-ONE. By adding features designed to stimulate all of the driver’s senses to the “joy of driving” realized by sporty driving only small EVs can achieve, the Super-ONE offers customers an exciting and uplifting driving experience.

The Super-ONE features a sporty, yet stable and dynamic driving experience by leveraging the lightweight platform advanced for N Series models and its wide stance with a widened tread.

Moreover, BOOST Mode, developed exclusively for this model, increases the power output to enable the power unit to fully unleash its performance potential, while also synchronizing the simulated 7-speed transmission and the Active Sound Control system to generate powerful engine sound and sharp gearshift feel, as if driving an engine-powered vehicle with a traditional multi-gear transmission.

“Super-ONE was developed as a car that emphasizes sporty driving and performance, aiming to resonate with both parents who enjoyed driving in their younger years and their children’s generation.

“The former are those whose child-rearing years are behind them and who are beginning to consider more environmentally responsible vehicles—those with an innovator mindset who are drawn to new products such as EVs. The latter seek a sense of acceleration, gadget-like appeal, and a touch of the extraordinary—as if stepping out of a game world and into real-world driving.

“For both generations, we wanted to deliver a sense of achievement and stimulation within everyday life. That led us to define key themes such as “Yukai, Tsukai, Meikai” (joyful, exhilarating, intuitive) and “boosting everyday life through an uplifting driving experience,” which ultimately shaped the grand concept, “e: Dash BOOSTER.”

“While Super-ONE serves as a practical EV with a spacious and user-friendly cabin in everyday use, its BOOST mode increases output and delivers a more direct response to accelerator inputs. Features such as simulated gear shifts—recreating the feel of a gasoline vehicle—and an Active Sound Control system that produces an exhaust-like sound enhance the sense of FUN in driving.

“Its wide and low stance, along with sporty seats and other emotionally engaging interior and exterior elements, are all designed to elevate the driving experience—freeing drivers from the routines of everyday life, in other words, to BOOST everyday life.”

Hidetomo Horita, Super-ONE Large Project Leader (LPL)
