Honda opens pre-orders for the Super-One compact EV in Japan

Starting from 16 April 2026, Honda Cars dealerships across Japan will begin accepting pre-orders for the new Honda Super-One compact EV, which is set to begin sales in late May 2026.

On its exterior, blister fenders encasing the wide tyres emphasise a low and wide stance, while its aerodynamic design - developed exclusively for this model - combines practical features that support driving performance.

The Sper-One leverages the lightweight platform advanced for N Series models to deliver a dynamic driving experience

The Super-One will be available in five exterior colours, including Boost Violet Pearl, a new colour developed exclusively for the model.

Inside, the Super-One feature model-exclusive sports seats, blue surface material with an asymmetric layout, and an eight-speaker Bose Premium Sound System as standard - this also makes it the first Honda compact model in Japan to feature a Bose sound system.

Moreover, Boost Mode, developed exclusively for this model, increases the power output (from 47kW of normal modes to 70kW) and synchronises both its seven-speed transmission and Active Sound Control system to generate powerful engine sound and sharp gearshift feel.

The sports seats were exclusively designed for this model

In addition, the long illumination on the passenger-side instrument panel lights up in blue during normal driving modes and changes to purple when Boost Mode is activated.

And by adopting a dedicated chassis with a widened tread, the overall vehicle width has increased as compared to N Series models. A thin battery is positioned under the middle of the floor to concentrate heavy components and lower the centre of gravity.

Prior to the start of pre-orders, Honda has said that the Super-One will be on display at the Honda booth at the 2026 Automobile Council in Japan, which runs from 10 to 12 April 2026.
