With the grand concept defined as “e: Dash BOOSTER,” the Super-ONE Prototype was developed as a compact EV designed to transform everyday mobility into an exciting and uplifting experience by adopting a variety of features that make the in-vehicle experience more enjoyable for customers. The name “Super-ONE” represents the aspiration of Honda to create a vehicle that transcends conventional norms and standards (“super”) and delivers customer value unique only to Honda (“one and only”).

In addition to excellent environmental performance and usability for everyday use, the “fun of driving” characteristics unique to Honda were pursued for the Super-ONE Prototype. By adding features designed to stimulate all of the driver’s senses to the “joy of driving” realized by sporty driving only small EVs can achieve, the Super-ONE Prototype offers customers an exciting and uplifting driving experience.
Leveraging the lightweight platform advanced for N Series models, the Super-ONE Prototype realizes sporty and nimble driving. In addition, its wide stance with extended tread, realized by prominently flared blister fenders, enables a stable and dynamic driving experience.

Moreover, Boost Mode, developed exclusively for this model, increases the power output to enable the power unit to fully unleash its performance potential, while also synchronizing the simulated 7-speed transmission and the Active Sound Control system to generate powerful engine sound and sharp gearshift feel, as if driving an engine-powered vehicle with a traditional multi-gear transmission. In Boost Mode, the Super-ONE Prototype stimulates the driver’s senses — including visual and auditory senses, as well as a tactile sensation of acceleration and vibration — offering an uplifting EV driving experience.  

The Super-ONE Prototype has undergone extensive testing on various road surfaces and under diverse climate conditions in Japan, the UK, and other countries across Asia to further enhance its driving performance. In July 2025, the Super EV Concept, the concept model that became the basis for the Super-ONE Prototype, was exhibited and took part in a dynamic run on the iconic hill climb course at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025, held in West Sussex, UK.  With its powerful driving performance, the Super EV Concept showcased to the world the new possibilities of a new joy of driving unique to Honda EVs.

Honda is planning to launch the production model based on the Super-ONE Prototype in Japan starting in 2026, followed by other regions with strong demand for compact EVs, such as the U.K. and various Asian countries^*.
