TOKYO: At Japan Mobility Show 2025, Honda presented the world premiere of the Super-One prototype, which is a compact EV (electric vehicle).
Honda is planning to launch the production model based on the Super-One prototype in Japan in 2026, followed by other regions with strong demand for compact EVs, such as the UK and various Asian countries.
The Super-One Prototype has undergone extensive testing on various road surfaces and under diverse climate conditions in Japan, the UK, and other countries across Asia.
In July 2025, the Super EV Concept, the concept model that became the basis for the Super-One Prototype, was exhibited and took part in a dynamic run on the iconic hill climb course at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025, held in West Sussex, UK.
Leveraging the lightweight platform advanced for N Series models, the Super-One Prototype realises sporty and nimble driving.
In addition, its wide stance with extended tread, realised by prominently flared blister fenders, enables a stable and dynamic driving experience.
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 synchronising the simulated seven-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.
As for the exterior, prominent blister fenders encasing the wide tyres emphasise a low and wide stance.
Moreover, the aerodynamic design developed exclusively for this model — inducing front and rear air ducts — enhances aerodynamic performance while also ensuring efficient cooling.
The interior features sports seats, and the asymmetric layout of blue surface material for the seats adds a playful touch to the interior colour coordination.
In addition, the horizontal orientation of the instrument panel reduces visual noise and realises a clear field of vision.
