Honda UK has revealed that its new Super-N compact EV will be priced from just £18,995.
Engineered on the lightweight platform of the hugely popular N Series ‘Kei’ car range sold in Japan, the Super-N takes its inspiration from the legendary 1980’s City Turbo II.
Michael Doyle, head of automobile of Honda UK, said: “Priced at just £18,995, the Super-N delivers Honda’s ‘Joy of Driving’ philosophy to more customers than ever before. Not only is this one of the most affordable small EVs available, it’s also one of the most fun.
“It’s been designed to embody the Japanese philosophies of Yukai and Tsukai, which translate as delight and exhilaration respectively, and as a result it delivers a sense of excitement the moment you see it.
“Ultimately, it’s a car that’s been developed by a group of passionate engineers that believe in Honda’s abilities to turn dreams into reality.”
The ‘BOOST Mode’ increases the power output of its compact e-Axle from 47kW to 70kW, delivering a 0-62mph time of 10.0 seconds (vs. 14.51 seconds in ‘Normal Mode’).
Powered by a thin and lightweight 29.6kW lithium-ion battery, the Super-N delivers a ‘combined’ range of 128 miles (WLTP).
However, in urban driving environments, where the compact and nimble Super-N is likely to spend much of its time, the battery provides a ‘city’ range of 199 miles (WLTP). It can be recharged to 80% using a 50kW DC supply in just 30 minutes.
The Super-N is available with a wide range of exterior colours, including the signature Boost Violet Pearl. There is a two-tone finish that includes a contrasting gloss black roof panel and rear spoiler, plus several distinctive body graphic option packs.
