Honda Motor Co. has unveiled the Super-ONE Prototype, a compact electric vehicle, at the Japan Mobility Show 2025 in Tokyo. The Super-ONE made its world debut as Honda’s newest concept for an engaging and fun small EV.

The Super-ONE was designed under the theme “e: Dash Booster.” Honda says the car aims to turn everyday drives into a more exciting experience through technology and design that appeal to all the senses. The model name reflects the company’s goal to build a “one and only” vehicle that delivers joy in compact form.

Built on the same lightweight platform used in Honda’s N Series kei cars, the prototype comes with a wider stance and flared fenders for stability and sharper handling. It introduces a new Boost Mode that raises power output and pairs it with a simulated 7-speed transmission and Active Sound Control system. These features replicate the shifting sound and feel of a traditional gasoline car while keeping the smoothness of an EV.

Honda says the prototype has been tested in Japan, the United Kingdom, and several Asian countries. Earlier this year, it took part in the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it completed a run on the famous hill climb course to showcase its performance.

The Super-ONE features sport seats made specifically for the model. The cabin uses blue accents and a horizontally laid-out dashboard to give the driver a wide and clear view of the road.

Honda plans to launch the production version in Japan by 2026, followed by other regions with strong interest in small EVs, such as the UK and parts of Asia. The model will carry different names depending on the market: Super-ONE in Japan and Asia, and Super-N in the UK.
