Honda unveils new Super-N prototype compact electric vehicle at Japan Mobility Show

Honda has unveiled a new compact EV model - the Super-N Prototype - at the Japan Mobility Show, ahead of its arrival in the UK from 2026.

The Super-N prototype is built on the lightest platform of the N Series 'Kei' car range sold in Japan and was exhibited as the Super EV Concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this year.

The vehicle's striking exterior design is typified by its distinctive wide stance, blister bumpers, and eye-catching aero ducts.

Once inside, this sporty aesthetic is also evident in the blue-accented asymmetrical seats, and the clean, horizontal instrument panel. The design creates anticipation for the dynamic, agile, and responsive handling available.

A unique feature of the Super-N prototype is the new BOOST mode. Not only does this increase vehicle output to maximise performance, but it also simulates a multi-gear shift with Active Sound Control. Coupled with dedicated interior displays and coordinated lighting sequences, this ensures a sense of excitement and enhanced driving engagement that is unique to a vehicle of this size.

Rebecca Adamson, Head of Automobile, Honda UK, said: ldquo;The Super-N Prototype promises to offer a great entry point to Honda EV ownership when it arrives in our market next year, building on the excitement we saw for the concept model at Goodwood this summer. By bringing Honda's trademark 'fun-to-drive' performance to a compact all-electric model, we believe this is a unique proposition and we are excited for people to experience it from 2026.”
