Honda's first dedicated EV, the Super-One, to launch in Australia late 2026, targeting city drivers with a compact, sporty design and sub-$35,000 pricing.

Honda has confirmed its compact Super-One electric hatchback will launch in Australia by late 2026, marking the brand’s first dedicated EV there. Based on a Japanese Kei platform but enlarged for export, the car is designed as a fun, urban-focused runabout with a driver-centric cabin, sporty seats, a minimalist dashboard, and a purple BOOST button for simulated performance. It features limited rear space and a small boot, targeting city driving over practicality. While no official specs have been released, unconfirmed reports suggest a range of around 295km, and pricing is expected to be cheaper than a Civic, though it must undercut $35,000 to compete with budget Chinese EVs like the BYD Dolphin and MG 4. Honda will conduct local testing to adapt the vehicle for Australian roads.
