Honda launches Super-One EV as its new entry-level EV in Singapore

At the Singapore Motor Show last week, Honda unveiled the Super-One EV, a new entry-level electric car for its global line-up. The company also launched the new EV in Singapore, making it the model’s first market globally.

The Super-One EV is the production version of the Super-One Prototype from the 2025 Japan Mobility Show and is closely related to the N-One E: kei model Honda offers in Japan. It measures 3,589 mm in length, 1,573 mm in width, and 1,616 mm in height and has a 2,520 mm wheelbase.

The ultra-compact dimensions of the Super-One EV are close to the Leapmotor T03 and comparable to even the Dacia Spring, but it has a much larger, 5.2-metre turning radius—also a far cry from the Honda e’s 4.3 metres. The Super-One EV features only a front motor, which produces 70 kW and 162 Nm of torque.

Honda offers Normal, City, Sport, and ECON drive modes and also a Boost mode in the Super-One EV. The company uses disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the rear. It has not disclosed the type or capacity of the battery pack or the driving range and only revealed that fast-charging from 20% to 80% SoC takes 30 minutes.

Chances are Honda is using the same 29.6 kWh battery pack as in the N-One e:, which supports charging at up to 6 kW (AC)/50 kW (DC). Interestingly, while the near-production prototype version featured separate AC and DC charging ports, in the final version, Honda is using a CCS2 charging port.

The N-One e: features a 47 kW/162 Nm motor and travels up to 295 kilometres on a single charge, as per WLTC. The Super-One, being more powerful, slightly bigger, and perhaps marginally heavier, may see a small impact in the range if Honda installs the same 29.6 kWh battery pack.

On the outside, Honda equips the Super-One EV with circular LED headlamps, 15-inch eight-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in Yokohama Advan Fleva 185/55 R15 82V tyres, and LED tail lights.

Inside, the company offers a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an automatic climate control system, an 8-speaker Bose sound system, and regenerative braking adjustment paddles. On the safety front, the Super-One EV features Adaptive Cruise Control with Low Speed Follow, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation with Lane Departure Warning, and six airbags.

Honda has launched it only in a fully-equipped trim, priced at SGD 187,999 (approximately €125,000 euros). From a European perspective, that price seems way too high. However, it includes a so-called Certificate of Entitlement (COE), which currently costs anything between 75,000 and 122,000 Singapore dollars, depending on the car’s category.

The company plans to launch the Super-One EV in Japan before the end of 2026, followed by the UK and other international markets.
