Honda Unveils Super EV Concept: A Production-Ready Electric City Car
Honda is set to unveil its new Super EV concept at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, and the tiny electric hatchback appears to be almost ready for production. The company has released a single image of the car, disguised, crossing Westminster Bridge in front of the UK’s Houses of Parliament.
Most of Honda’s recent concepts have previewed production cars about a year or two from launch. The Super EV seems to follow this trend, featuring production-ready elements such as full-size wing mirrors, fully-framed windows, functioning door handles, and reasonably sized wheels and tires. The concept’s wide and chunky wheel arches might be the only show car element to be dropped in the transition to production.
The Super EV is described by Honda as an A-segment model, competing against the upcoming all-electric Renault Twingo in Europe. It may even fit within kei car dimensions, allowing it to be sold in Japan with lower taxes and road charges. The styling, with its round headlights, fits into Honda’s N family of kei cars template, such as the N-One.
Honda says the concept combines “fun to drive” with “safety” and will be available on multiple markets.

Honda says the concept marries “fun-to-drive” with “trademark Honda usability”, and has been out and about in the UK as part of its global development program. There’s no word yet on the Super EV’s drivetrain details, but hopefully, it will be more competitive than the E hatchback, which earned plaudits for its retro styling but failed largely due to its pricing and limited range.
The 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed takes place between July 10 and 13.
