Honda Super EV concept: Electric city car looks almost production ready
Honda will unveil the Super EV concept at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, and the tiny electric hatchback looks almost ready to roll down the factory line. The company has so far only released one photo of the car, wrapped in disguise, crossing Westminster Bridge in front of the UK's Houses of Parliament. In recent times most of Honda's concepts have previewed production cars that are about a year or two from launch, such as the Prelude, which come out as a concept in 2023 and will go for a run up the hill at Goodwood in production form this year. The Super EV looks to fit into this mould with its production-ready full-size wing mirrors, fully-framed windows, functioning door handles, and reasonably-sized wheel and tyre combo. The only show car element that might be dropped in the transition to the showroom are the concept's wide and chunky wheel-arches. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The Super EV is described by Honda as an A-segment model, meaning that it will compete against the upcoming all-electric Renault Twingo in Europe. It may even fall within kei car dimensions – a maximum of 3.4m long and 1.48m wide – which would allow it to be sold in Japan with lower taxes and road charges. Thanks to its round headlights, the Super EV's styling even fits into the template used by Honda's N family of kei cars, such as the N-One (above). Honda says the concept marries "fun-to-drive" with "trademark Honda usability", and has been out and about in the UK as part of its global development program. There's no word yet on the Super EV's drivetrain details, but hopefully it will be more competitive than the Honda E hatchback (above), which earned plaudits for its retro styling, but failed largely due to its pricing and limited range. Equipped with a 35.5kWh battery and a 100kW or 113kW motor driving the front wheels, the E had a WLTP range rating of just 222km. The 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed takes place between July 10 and 13.

The Honda Super EV Looks Like a Kei Car For Europe
Honda is attending next month's Goodwood Festival of Speed to give its hot hatch a proper sendoff by showcasing the Civic Type R Ultimate Edition . It's also bringing the new hybrid Prelude and the oddly shaped 0 SUV , which doesn't quite resemble the Hondas we're used to. Alongside these already-revealed models will be a new concept, pompously named the Super EV. Although Honda is tight-lipped about the diminutive hatchback, we can't help but wonder if it's an indirect successor to the charming Honda e . Production of that pint-sized city commuter ended in January 2024, but it seems a follow-up may be in the works. The boxy shape and tall roofline evoke kei car vibes, particularly resembling the N-One sold in Japan. Honda N-One Style + Urban Edition 9 It's unclear whether the two are related, though perhaps not, as the N-One is strictly powered by a 658-cc three-cylinder gasoline engine. The Super EV has surprisingly bulging wheel arches and doesn't appear any smaller than the Honda e. If it shares a similar footprint, it would be significantly longer than the N-One, which must stay under 3.4 meters (133.8 inches) per Japanese kei car regulations. For context, the discontinued Honda e was half a meter (nearly 20 inches) longer. Honda calls this an A-segment car, so think Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto, or the defunct Volkswagen up! Despite being labeled a concept, the Super EV looks production-ready. Details such as the full-size mirrors, a functional lower air intake, and normal-looking wheels suggest Honda is serious about bringing it to market. A charging port is visible next to the covered badge, along with light and rain sensors located near the top of the windshield. Typically, concepts are pared down and ride on oversized wheels to emphasize design, but that's not the case here. Honda has gone with large, traditional door handles instead of flush-mounted ones. The horizontal slat in the otherwise closed upper grille might serve a cooling function. Though we only have a single image, the Super EV appears to sport a roof spoiler at the rear. Honda e Honda e Elsewhere, the right-hand-drive concept carries a license plate, indicating that Honda has already been testing it on public roads in the UK and elsewhere. The 'small, sporty model' appears to feature an infotainment screen protruding from the dashboard, as indicated by the rear of the tablet-style display. Although the Honda e was cool, it was overpriced and offered a so-so range. We hope Honda has learned from past mistakes, and whatever this cute-as-a-bug tiny hatchback turns out to be, it'll be cheaper and will go farther. The purple wrap will come off during the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, taking place from July 10 to 13.
