Honda revealed the Super-ONE prototype at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, which serves as the vehicle’s preview before its official launch in select markets. The Super-ONE prototype is Honda’s compact electric vehicle that aims to make everyday drives an exciting experience.
The Japanese automaker said that the name Super-ONE reflects the brand’s desire to deliver “unique (One and Only) value to customers as a vehicle that transcends conventional wisdom and standards (Super).” It’s also designed to be a compact EV that provides nimble handling, resulting in an “exciting and exhilarating driving experience.”
The overall design of the Honda Super-ONE prototype features the familiar design language that one can see on Japan’s Kei cars. Its compact and boxy dimensions fit aesthetically well, which makes the Super-ONE prototype a distinctive pint-sized EV. It is integrated with muscular fender flares, which add boldness to the rather diminutive dimensions of the EV.
Honda said that the Super-ONE prototype EV also comes with an aero design, including air ducts located at the front and rear. These make the compact EV have better aerodynamic performance while ensuring cooling efficiency.
The rear is fitted with a roof-mounted spoiler, large taillights, ‘Honda’ emblem, and a beefy bumper. The Japanese car brand added that the Super-ONE prototype’s exterior is finished with practical functionality.
The interior comes with a dark cabin theme that’s accented by colors of blue and white. It comes with a straightforward and neat dashboard design, and the vehicle controls, such as the physical buttons and gear selector, are cleanly stacked in the middle, creating a clutter-free cabin.
The Honda Super-ONE prototype is equipped with Boost mode, a driving mode that increases vehicle output to maximize performance. It also has an Active Sound Control system, which is in charge of producing a virtual engine sound. These two simulate a multi-gear shift, which is a nod to gasoline-powered vehicles.
The mass-produced Honda Super-ONE prototype is scheduled to be released in 2026, starting in Japan, followed by the UK and other Asian countries where there is a high demand for compact EVs.
