With a starting price of 3,39 million yen (approximately 21,300 USD), Honda announced that its high-performance electric hatchback has surpassed the company's expectations and projections. Pre-sales began on 21/4, and by the official launch date of 22/5, the number of orders had exceeded 7,000.

On social media platforms, this model became a hot topic, with comments such as, "A playful electric vehicle", "I want one!", and "The Super-One is so cheap!".

The core concept of the Super-One is "e: Dash Booster," aiming to elevate the daily driving experience through a dedicated chassis with an expanded overall width based on the N-One e:, along with features that enrich the experience.

Prominent features include a dedicated aerodynamic kit in its design. The styling of this model, reminiscent of the classic City Turbo II from the 1980s (often known as the "Bulldog"), has garnered attention since its announcement.

The vehicle weighs 1,090 kg, has a track width of 1,345 mm, and features large-diameter, wide tires. It offers five driving modes: Econ, City, Normal, Sport, and Boost. In City mode, the vehicle utilizes one-pedal control, allowing for acceleration, deceleration, and even a complete stop using only the accelerator pedal.

The powertrain uses a compact e-axle and a thin, high-capacity battery, along with a dedicated Boost mode that increases maximum power from 63 horsepower in normal mode to 93 horsepower.

Honda learned from Hyundai's high-performance electric vehicles, the Ioniq 5 N and Ioniq 6 N, incorporating a seven-speed simulated gearbox and an active sound control system to mimic the sound and shift shock of internal combustion engine sports cars.

The operating range is 274 km in WLTC mode. Estimated charging time is about 4,5 hours with normal charging and approximately 30 minutes with fast charging. An external AC power supply can provide up to 1,500 W of power.

The Super-One is Honda's first model equipped with a premium Bose sound system, which includes eight speakers and a subwoofer in the rear. The 9-inch Honda Connect display integrates Google and services like Honda Total Care Premium.

Honda Sensing is standard equipment. Features include a collision mitigation braking system (CMBS), adaptive cruise control (ACC) with traffic jam assist, and a lane keeping assist system (LKAS).

With a starting price of 3,39 million yen, benefiting from a 1,3 million yen government electric vehicle purchase subsidy and an additional subsidy of up to 1 million yen in Tokyo, comments such as, "The Super-One is incredibly cheap!" are becoming increasingly popular.

Following its launch in Japan, the Super-One will soon be sold in Europe, the UK, Australia, and other international markets.

In 7, the Super-One will be available in the UK under the name Super-N, with a starting price under 20,000 British pounds (27,000 USD), which is lower than the projected price of 33,500 British pounds (45,000 USD) for the Volkswagen ID. Polo GTI.
