en.Wedoany.com Reported - Honda has recently introduced a sporty compact electric vehicle in Japan called the "Super-One." Based on the lightweight "N-ONE" series, the car pays homage to the 1983 City Turbo II with its exterior design, combining a compact body with wide fender arches that exude a sporty feel within its cute appearance.

The Super-One's design retains exciting elements within a minimalist style. Its base model, the N-ONE, underwent a full redesign in 2020, featuring a side profile with a grounded stance, a refined front fascia, and a premium texture.

In terms of powertrain, the car is equipped with a front-mounted single motor, delivering a maximum output of 47 kW in standard mode, which can be boosted to 70 kW when the exclusive BOOST mode is activated, with a peak torque of 162 N·m. The BOOST mode simultaneously integrates a simulated 7-speed transmission and an active sound control system, operated via steering wheel paddle shifters, to recreate the acceleration rhythm and auditory feedback of a traditional multi-gear combustion engine vehicle within the cabin.

For the cabin, the Super-One comes standard with an 8-speaker BOSE sound system, marking the first time Honda has equipped a compact model in Japan with this brand of audio. The dashboard features a horizontal layout to optimize forward visibility, and the sport seats are exclusively designed. In BOOST mode, the instrument display and ambient lighting synchronously switch to a dedicated interface and color scheme, enhancing the immersive driving experience.

Regarding range and charging, the vehicle offers a WLTC range of 274 kilometers, sufficient to cover daily commuting needs. According to Honda's launch plan, the Super-ONE will initially be sold in right-hand drive markets such as Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Thailand, and will later be introduced to the European market under the name "Super-N".
