Honda revealed its futuristic Super EV Concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, marking a bold re-entry into the compact electric vehicle segment following the discontinuation of the Honda e in 2023.
The concept showcases boxy, retro-inspired styling reminiscent of the Japanese-market N‑One kei car, complete with circular headlights, vertical lamp accents, and a closed front grille incorporating the charging port. Its squared-off stance and playful design aim to combine nostalgic appeal with modern EV practicality.
Honda performed dynamic hill‑climb runs with the prototype still camouflaged allowing enthusiasts to sample its handling firsthand on Goodwood’s famous 1.16‑mile track. Public feedback was invited, indicating plans to gauge consumer response before a potential production decision.
Though technical specifications remain under wraps, Honda has hinted the concept could be an fenjoyable, city‑friendly hatchback successor to the Honda e with improved batteries, a new EV platform, and affordability in the £15,000–£30,000 range.
The Super EV Concept is part of a broader Honda showcase at Goodwood, which included the upcoming 0 Series SUV, the hybrid Prelude, and the final Civic Type R Ultimate Edition—demonstrating the breadth of Honda’s electrified strategy.
While not yet confirmed for production, its public debut at Goodwood signals Honda’s intent to revive its A‑segment EV presence, potentially launching alongside up to seven new EVs planned for global markets by 2030.
