Honda has finally revealed more specifications for its pint-sized Super-One EV ahead of the start of pre-orders in Japan on 18 April. Weighing in at just 1,090 kg, the new hatchback is actually smaller than a Perodua Axia, suggesting a nimble electric pocket rocket that prioritises agility and driver engagement.
Under the skin, the Super-One is powered by an electric motor that produces a maximum of 95 hp (70 kW) and 162 Nm. However, that full output is only available via a dedicated “Boost Mode” developed specifically for this model. In normal driving conditions, the motor is capped at a more modest 64 hp (47 kW), with 0-100 km/h times yet to be published.
While Honda has not officially confirmed the battery size, it is likely the same 29.6 kWh unit used in the N-One e. The quoted range for the Super-One is 274 km (WLTC), which is slightly less than the 295 km managed by its commuter sibling.
To enhance the driving engagement, Honda has equipped the Super-One with a simulated seven-speed transmission. This is paired with the Active Sound Control system from the Honda Prelude to provide virtual engine noises inside the cabin. There are even gear-shift paddles on the steering column for drivers to upshift or downshift through the digital ratios.
Inside, the digital gauge cluster features dedicated settings for “Boost Mode” that include a triple-gauge display. This consists of a battery temperature gauge, a power gauge, and a pseudo-tachometer that works in tandem with the simulated gearshifts. The layout adopts a design reminiscent of traditional mechanical analogue gauges, complemented by exclusively designed sport seats with blue highlights.

The cabin also features a standard eight-speaker Bose sound system with a subwoofer installed in the cargo area, as Honda probably assumes you will only use the Super-One to dart around instead of using it as a practical daily commuter.
These features are wrapped in an aerodynamic exterior featuring exclusive air ducts and a new Boost Violet Pearl paint option. The model could arrive in Malaysia following its launch in Singapore as its first international market. Honda Malaysia currently has five more cars left to introduce for 2026 after the updated CR-V, and with two more EVs expected by 2027 to follow the e:N1, the Super-One is a strong candidate for the local line-up.
