Discover the Honda Super‑N, the most affordable Honda electric car in Europe, featuring a 0‑100 km/h Boost button and a compact 206 km range. Learn more now!
Honda has taken a bold step into the affordable electric‑vehicle (EV) segment with the new Super‑N. Marketed as the cheapest Honda EV in Europe, the compact hatchback packs a surprising dose of performance thanks to a dedicated Boost button that turns everyday city driving into a sporty experience.
Performance and the Boost Button
Under normal driving mode the Super‑N’s e‑Axle delivers 63 horsepower, which is ample for city traffic. When the driver presses the Boost button, power spikes to 94 horsepower, shaving roughly four seconds off the 0‑100 km/h sprint – from 14.5 seconds down to about 10 seconds. Weighing just 1,097 kg, the car feels lively off the line, especially after a red light.
Honda also equips the Super‑N with a simulated seven‑speed gearbox and an artificial engine sound, features that first appeared on the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and are now echoed by premium rivals such as the Porsche Taycan Turbo.
Range and Battery
The Super‑N is powered by a compact 29.6 kWh lithium‑ion pack. According to WLTP testing, the battery provides a combined range of 206 km, while Honda claims urban driving can stretch that figure to as much as 320 km. Fast‑charging to 80 % capacity takes roughly 30 minutes, making it practical for daily commutes and short weekend trips.
Design and Interior
Measuring only 3,599 mm in length and 1,573 mm in width, the Super‑N still manages to comfortably seat four adults. Its interior follows Honda’s reputation for clever space utilization, featuring the same rear‑seat folding mechanism that made the Jazz a favorite over the Ford Fiesta back in 2001.
The cabin includes a modern infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, paired with a standard Bose sound system. Honda plans to offer a variety of exterior trim packages so owners can personalize the tiny yet stylish hatchback.
Pricing and Market Position
In the United Kingdom the Super‑N starts at £18,995 (about $25,100), making it the most affordable Honda EV on the continent and one of the cheapest electric cars available in the UK market. This price undercuts competitors such as the Renault Twingo E‑Tech (£20,000) and is only £345 more than the BYD Dolphin Surf’s base model.
Technology and Safety
Beyond the Boost button, the Super‑N comes equipped with Honda’s latest safety suite, including adaptive cruise control, lane‑keeping assist, and collision mitigation braking. The infotainment screen supports both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the Bose audio setup delivers clear, balanced sound throughout the cabin.
Availability in Europe
After years of limited availability outside Japan, Honda finally introduced the Super‑N to European dealerships this summer. The model arrives with a full manufacturer warranty, giving buyers confidence in a brand traditionally known for reliability.
With its attractive price tag, sporty Boost mode, and practical urban range, the Honda Super‑N is poised to become a strong contender in the growing sub‑compact EV segment.
