Honda’s 2026 Super-One shifts away from the standard sterile look of modern EVs. Mixing Kei-car DNA with the classic Honda City Turbo II, this fully electric compact hatchback is designed to put the joy of driving back to the people. Honda has proven the “slow car fast” philosophy is true in the electric driving era. Instead of other doing EVs that focus on straight line speed, the Super-One shifts focus to driving engagement and pleasure. With a brash, wide-body, blistered fenders, and retro-modern circular LED lights, the Super-One is here to stand out on the road from other plain electric runabouts. This EV is a playful breath of fresh air proving that urban utility vehicles can have a soul.
Performance and Boost Mode Excitement
With a good-looking body, the Honda Super-One has a front-mounted electric motor that gives out about 70 kW (94 hp) and 162 Nm of torque. Although these numbers are not very high compared to other electric sports cars, the Super-One is very quick because it is very light at under 1,100 kg. Most impressive is the “Boost Mode” that is activated at the press of a button located on the steering wheel. This is not just a power delivery increase, but also activates a 7-speed dual clutch transmission that is simulated to be engaged, and also uses Active Sound Control to play fake engine sounds to the driver. With this level of feedback and a very low center of gravity due to the 29.6 kWh battery being mounted on the floor, go-kart like handling is the result and the Super-One is perfect for urban traffic and tight corners.
