The top-spec grade starts from $37,400. It adds a two-tone purple exterior colour that mirrors the popular Super-N Kei car the Super-One is based on. 

Honda said it has had more than 6500 expressions of interest for the Super-One in Australia, which is more than the new-generation Honda Civic Type-R.

Pre-orders are open now, with deliveries beginning on 1 October 2026.

There will only be 130 units available in this first batch, but more examples will arrive in early 2027.

What is the Honda Super-One?

The Honda Super-One is based on the brand’s N-One Kei car, which is designed to meet specific requirements for Japan’s smallest car segment. 

The Super-One is substantially longer, wider and taller than the N-One to ensure it meets Australia Design Rules.

The Super-One will still be one of the smallest cars available.

It shares similar dimensions to the Kia Picanto petrol-powered hatch (3595 mm long).

It will be a more direct rival to the BYD Atto 1 electric hatch that starts from $23,990 (before on-road costs), and the more pricey Hyundai Inster (from $39,000, before on-road costs).
