Honda is regaining its traction with a range of exciting new models arriving in the UK.
The biggest news is compact, all-electric Honda The Super-N prototype, which is making its global debut Japan mobility show ahead of its planned launch in Japan and the UK next year.
Originally revealed in concept form as a Super EV at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, the production-ready prototype is designed to bring Honda’s hallmark “fun-to-drive” experience to a new generation of compact EVs. The car is based on the lightest platform ever produced by Honda’s N Series range of small ‘kei’ cars sold in Japan.
With its purposeful stance, blistered wheel arches and prominent aero ducts, the Super-N prototype brings an assertive look to the urban EV space, with a hint of the much-loved Honda-E electric supermini about it.
Inside, the bold theme continues with blue-accented asymmetric seats and a clean, horizontal instrument panel – details intended to reinforce the car’s dynamic character and lightweight feel.
Honda is not only promising an extraordinary design, but also a truly engaging drive. A key feature of the Super-N is its new Boost Mode, which increases the car’s output to deliver greater performance and driver engagement. Boost also simulates a multi-gear shift pattern with an active sound control system to enhance the driving sensation. All this is brought together with dedicated interior displays and lighting effects designed to increase engagement behind the wheel.
“The Super-N prototype promises to provide a great entry point to Honda EV ownership when it arrives in our market next year,” said Rebecca Adamson, head of automobile at Honda UK, “similar to the concept model we saw at Goodwood this summer.” “By bringing Honda’s trademark ‘fun-to-drive’ performance into a compact all-electric model, we believe this is a unique proposition and we are excited for people to experience it from 2026.”
While Honda has confirmed that the Super-N will go on sale in Japan first, followed by the UK and parts of Asia, there are no plans to expand availability to other European markets at the moment. However, the car’s reception will help inform Honda’s strategy on future small EVs for the region.
Honda has also confirmed that a hybrid coupe wearing the famous Prelude badge will also return. The new model, using technology from the hot Civic Type-R model, is the first time that a Prelude model has been available in the UK for 25 years. Like the Super-N, it will arrive in Honda’s UK showrooms in 2026.
