HONDA SUPER-ONE
Honda has officially confirmed that the recently revealed Super One Concept, showcased at the Japan Mobility Show, draws inspiration from the iconic Honda City Turbo II — famously nicknamed the “Bulldog.” The connection is now openly acknowledged, positioning the concept as a modern tribute to the classic performance-oriented compact.
EXTERIOR
The Super One is far more than a standard N-One e: with cosmetic enhancements. It features a significantly more aggressive and extensively redesigned body. One of the most striking elements is the set of widened “Blister Fenders,” paired with newly developed front and rear bumpers that incorporate functional air intakes. The car rides on 15-inch matte black alloy wheels with polished edges, wrapped in wider Yokohama tires to reinforce its sporty character.
Honda has equipped the vehicle with a complete body kit that increases overall length by 194 mm and width by 98 mm. These changes push the car beyond Japan’s kei car regulations, effectively transforming it into a conventional passenger vehicle. The launch color is a vivid Boost Violet Pearl — inspired by lightning — while additional color options are expected to include white, black, yellow, and gray.
INTERIOR
Despite being fully electric, Honda has focused heavily on delivering an engaging driving experience. To address the absence of traditional engine sounds, the car features a synthesized sound system that simulates engine revs and gear changes, played through an eight-speaker Bose audio setup. A dedicated Boost Mode further enhances the experience: pressing the boost button transforms the 7-inch digital instrument cluster into a red tachometer-style display. The interior also includes sport seats with thicker bolstering and purple accent detailing to match the exterior theme.
Power comes from a front-wheel-drive electric motor. While Honda has not officially released performance figures, international reports suggest output could reach approximately 94 horsepower in Boost mode, compared with 63 horsepower in the standard N-One e:. The chassis has also been extensively reworked, with a lowered suspension setup and a wider track to deliver sharper handling characteristics similar to a hot hatchback. The battery is expected to remain the same 29.6 kWh unit, prioritizing responsive city driving rather than long-distance range.
PRICE
Japanese media estimates pricing will fall between 3.0 and 3.5 million yen. Honda also plans to market the Super One beyond Japan, with potential exports to the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and selected Asian markets.
