LONDON: The Honda Super-N compact EV (electric vehicle) will deliver a city-mode driving range of 199 miles (320km) and a combined range of 128 miles (206km) when it goes on sale in the UK from July.
Created for an uplifting small car experience, the Super-N follows Honda's "Man-Maximum, Machine-Minimum" (M/M) development approach.
Engineered on the lightweight platform of the advanced N Series "Kei" car range sold in Japan, the Super-N takes its inspiration from the legendary 1980’s City Turbo II.
The Super-N has a striking exterior design that is typified by its distinctive wide stance, larger bumpers and eye-catching aero ducts.
Key to the car’s thrilling driving experience will be ‘BOOST Mode’, which will increase the power output of its compact e-Axle from 47kW to 70kW (64PS to 95PS).
Plus, as one of the lightest EVs in Europe, the low weight of the Super-N contributes to engaging driving dynamics.
This is combined with a simulated seven-speed transmission and an Active Sound Control system that generates an engaging engine sound.
Featuring styling that draws inspiration from the Turbo City II, the Super-N promises Honda driving fun in a compact EV package.
Inside, it features enhanced seats that have been carefully designed for greater support and comfort.
The interior also benefits from distinctive blue highlights that pay homage to the original City Turbo II, while ambient lighting bathes the dashboard in a cool blue light at night, changing to a rich purple when BOOST Mode is selected.
Honda UK head of automobile Michael Doyle said, “The Super-N promises to bring Honda’s ‘Joy of Driving’ and the thrill of EV performance to a whole new audience. With its iconic looks, driving dynamics tailored to UK roads, and unique features such as BOOST Mode, every aspect of this model has been engineered to bring exhilaration and fun to every journey, no matter how short."
