Honda Australia has confirmed pricing for its first-ever electric vehicle, the Super-One, starting at $36,900 drive-away. Pre-orders are now open, with deliveries set to begin in October 2026, according to The Driven.
Demand has already outpaced supply. More than 6,500 Australians registered interest — beating expressions of interest for the Civic Type R — yet only 130 units are allocated for 2026, reports Torque Cafe.
Two Trim Levels, One Compact Price Point
The Super-One comes in two variants. The base model costs $36,900 drive-away. A two-tone edition adds $500, coming in at $37,400, and features Boost Violet paint with a black roof, according to Exhaust Notes Australia.
Both prices undercut rivals like the Hyundai Inster and the Fiat 500e, reports Perth Now. Honda Centres will handle all pre-orders. The car marks the first time a fully electric Honda has been sold through the brand's Australian dealer network.
Small Body, Kei-Car Roots, City-Ready Range
The Super-One is built on Honda's N-One e. kei-car platform from Japan. It measures just 3.58 m long, 1.575 m wide, and 1.615 m tall, with a 2,520 mm wheelbase. Kerb weight is 1,093 kg, according to The Driven.
A 29.6 kWh battery delivers a WLTP range of roughly 206–253 km depending on the test cycle. DC fast charging takes the battery from 15% to 80% in about 30 minutes at up to 50 kW, reports Exhaust Notes Australia.
Boost Mode and a Fake Gearbox Add Driver Fun
The base motor puts out 47 kW and 162 Nm of torque. Switching into Boost mode raises output to 70 kW. Honda also added a simulated seven-speed transmission paired with an engine-like soundtrack through its Active Sound Control system, according to Torque Cafe.
Other urban features include Honda's foldable 'magic seats' and a one-pedal driving mode. The goal is to make a small EV feel more engaging than typical city cars, reports Head Topics.
130 Cars in 2026, Bigger Numbers Planned for 2027
Supply is tight to start. Honda has allocated just 130 Super-Ones for Australia in 2026. Higher volumes are expected in 2027 as Honda ramps up production, according to The Driven.
The 6,500-plus expressions of interest signal strong appetite for an affordable small EV in Australia. Honda says it will expand supply through 2027 to meet demand, reports Exhaust Notes Australia.
