Summary

The Honda Super-N is a new all-electric five-door city car, which is set to arrive in the UK in July.

The compact runaround serves as the replacement for the Honda e supermini, which was removed from sale in 2024. Previewed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this year, the Super-N is based on the ‘N-One e’ kei car that Honda sells in Japan.

It’s not a direct copy of that model though – Honda says it has made several changes to make the city car better suited to European roads and to boost driving fun. The Honda is set to join a small but growing field of battery-powered city cars, which already includes the BYD Dolphin Surf and Fiat 500 Electric.

The initial reviewer reception has been very positive. Parker’s Luke Wilkinson praises the city car for its fun driving experience and “great interior packaging”, as well as its competitive price tag – price being one of the key sticking points that harmed sales of the Honda e it replaces. “It’s right up there on the podium, making mincemeat of competitors such as the BYD Dolphin Surf, Dacia Spring and Leapmotor T03.”

“It’s not built for long journeys”, says Electrifying.com’s Lucas Cochrane, “But if you stick to the Super-N’s urban natural habitat, it’s pure joy. It’s small enough to dodge potholes without breaching any lane lines and can be parked on a postage stamp thanks to its tiny footprint.”

While UK reviews are already being published on the Super-N, we are yet to give the hatchback an Expert Rating score. Check back soon!
