Is the Honda e about to make a spectacular return? This is the new Super EV Concept
Honda will debut a ‘fun-to-drive’ little city car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July
Honda has announced it will be bringing a ‘new all-electric urban concept vehicle’ to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, and this early snap of a camouflaged prototype has got us rather excited indeed.
Y’see, it very much looks like we might finally be getting a successor to the retrotastic Honda e. Fingers crossed it has a little bit more range this time around.
Known as the Super EV Concept, this thing looks as brilliantly boxy as the original e, although at first glance it could be taller and narrower. We’re getting serious kei car vibes. Properly chunky wheelarches, too.
Honda said the concept has been “designed to demonstrate how an A-segment model might offer fresh, ‘fun-to-drive’ electric performance alongside trademark Honda usability”. Could that mean a rear-wheel drive layout like the e? Fingers crossed.
Honda to introduce a new compact EV concept next month
During next month's Goodwood Festival of Speed, Honda will introduce a new Super EV Concept, which is meant to be an A-segment compact hatchback suitable for the urban environment. It all sounds like a successor to the Honda e.
Unfortunately, Honda is very vague with its concept description. All we know is that it's going to be a "fun-to-drive" five-door hatch with a sporty vibe.
The company said the vehicle has gone through some street testing in the UK, suggesting the concept is very close to being an actual production model.
Honda just announced its new N-ONE e, which is an all-electric reincarnation of the N-ONE and can also be seen as an update to the Honda e from 2020, as it's still a city-friendly, everyday car.
Honda isn't very generous with the information about the kei car, but it says it's the perfect fit for a dense urban environment with just enough range to meet your daily needs. According to the WLTP rating, the vehicle can travel 270 km on a single charge.
The interior is completely revamped, compared to the gas version, and Honda made it very flexible and convenient in terms of storage. Honda had to be creative to make the most out of the limited interior space.
Honda’s teeny Super-N EV will get 128 miles of range and cost less than £20k
It’ll also get a BOOST mode that activates extra power and a simulated 7spd gearbox
The brilliantly boxy little Super-N is coming to the UK, and the dinky all-electric Renault Twingo rival will start at less than £20,000 when orders open in July. We now know that it’ll get 128 miles of range, or up to 199 miles if you daren’t venture out of the city.
As you may remember from our prototype drive back in November 2025, the Super-N will also get a funky ‘BOOST mode’ that bathes the interior in purple light and engages a simulated seven-speed paddleshift gearbox. Said mode will also activate some fake engine noise, while upping power from the usual 63bhp to a heady 94bhp.
For reference, the brilliant Twingo gets 82bhp. These are light little cars remember. We’re told the Super-N “embodies Honda’s commitment to the joy of driving".
Honda also said the Super-N takes inspiration from the 1980’s City Turbo II, particularly with its squared off arches and the little blue touches in the modern car’s interior. So, hands up who fancies a little kei-based EV in the UK?
