Honda N-One e, makes its Global Debut in Japan with 270 km range

Honda has taken the wraps off the N-One e, a fully electric version of its kei car aimed at city use. Unveiled as a production model after its camouflaged run at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the N-One e follows the design direction set by the Super EV Concept. Sales in Japan begin in September, with a European launch scheduled at the IAA Mobility show in Munich later this year.

Technical specs remain under wraps for now, but the N-One e is expected to carry over the same electric setup as the N-Van e. That would mean a 63bhp motor and a WLTP range of over 270km, an improvement over the N-Van’s 245km figure. Fast charging support via a 50kW DC setup allows a top-up in around 30 minutes.

Built to fit Japan’s kei car regulations, the N-One e stays under the 3.4-metre mark. The exterior carries over the boxy layout seen on the concept, with a shut grille, circular headlamps, and an integrated charging port. Honda will offer the car in five colours: Cheerful Green, Platinum White Pearl, Lunar Silver Metallic, Fjord Mist Pearl, and Seabed Blue Pearl.

The cabin sticks to physical buttons and rotary knobs, avoiding the full-digital approach. A small shelf sits under the driver’s display, and the 50:50 split rear seats can be folded flat for more storage. The car also supports one-pedal driving and comes with Honda’s Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function, allowing external devices to be powered using the car’s battery - though this will need a separate power supply connector sold through Honda’s accessories.

Optional equipment includes a 9-inch Honda Connect infotainment system and a styling kit with stripes and cosmetic add-ons. Safety tech will include the usual Honda Sensing suite.
