Future models - Honda - Super oneHonda’s Super-One EV locked in for AustraliaKei segment Honda Super-One EV unveiled in Tokyo – and bound for Aussie showrooms31 Oct 2025 HONDA’S first battery electric vehicle (BEV) to be officially sold in Australia will not be the Chinese-made e:Ny1 small SUV as speculated but the tiny Super-One hot hatch that made its public production debut at the Japan Mobility Show.
While most cars, particularly BEVs, are growing in size as consumers demand more space, Honda has taken its entry into the Aussie electric market in the opposite direction.
The pint-sized, Kei-class Super-One will be the smallest BEV money can buy when it arrives in Australia in the second half of 2026, measuring less than 3.6 metres long and 1.6m wide.
It will also borrow a few tricks from Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 N performance BEV with a ‘boost mode’ that will offer more power, simulated engine noise and faux gear shifts for an ICE-inspired experience – but we can only hope the synthetic sound mimics Honda's iconic VTEC wail.
While key specifications like battery size, motor output and driving range are yet to be disclosed, Honda emphasised the Super-One will be a hoot to drive, using the word ‘fun’ on multiple occasions.
“Honda Super-One is a unique proposition for Australians living and working in dense urban environments, blending small car usability with premium Honda design and engineering,” said Honda Australia president and chief executive Jay Joseph.
“Developed from Japanese Kei car concepts, Honda Super-One is designed to be an agile, quiet and playful inner-city EV that’s as fun to drive as it is to own.”
According to Honda, the Super-One will have undergone local and international testing by the time it launches, ensuring it’s suitable for Australian conditions.
“The Honda Super-One will launch in Australia following completion of a local testing program,” said Mr Joseph.
“It is important that our customers have confidence the same commitment to quality Honda has delivered consistently over the past 55 years in Australia extends into the new EV and e:HEV era.”
Honda also showcased its new Prelude coupe at the show, already confirmed for Australian consumption from next year.
The new Prelude, though, will be electrified courtesy of Honda’s e:HEV system, offering a somewhat underwhelming 135kW/315Nm to match the performance of the downstream Civic.
Honda also rolled out its futuristic 0 Series SUV and saloon prototypes for the first time, offering a glimpse into the future with its next-generation EV models.
While Honda Australia has previously indicated it is eager to introduce the 0 Series models locally, the line-up’s local debut is still at best a couple of years away with a global rollout planned for 2027 starting with Japan and India.
Honda is likely to announce further details in the lead-up to the Super-One’s local arrival, from powertrain to price.
