Japanese automaker Honda Motor has announced that it is scheduled to begin sales of its Super-One small battery electric vehicle (BEV) in its home market in late May 2026, as the company continues to expand its range of zero-emission models. Honda confirmed that it will begin taking pre-orders for the model at Honda dealers nationwide from mid-April, ahead of the official launch.
Honda said the Super-One is 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 automaker said the Super-One offers 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.”
The Super-One features a new ‘e-Booster’ system developed exclusively for this model, which “increases power output (from 47 kW to 70 kW) 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 a powerful engine sound and a sharp gearshift feel, as if driving an engine-powered vehicle with a traditional multi-gear transmission.”
The Super-One has a cruising range of 274 km, with the company choosing to limit its driving range in order to reduce battery weight and maximise performance. The total vehicle weight is 1,090 kg.
