In a market where many electric vehicles are getting larger, more powerful, and increasingly expensive, the Honda Super-N is proving that a different approach can be just as successful. That approach has just earned national recognition, with the Super-N being named Best Electric Value Car at the What Car? Electric Car Awards 2026.
Inspired by Japan's kei car culture, the Super-N has been designed to make everyday driving simple. It's compact enough to tackle busy town centres and tight parking spaces with ease while still offering the comfort, technology and practicality drivers expect from a modern electric vehicle.
The What Car? judges were particularly impressed by the amount of equipment included as standard. Despite being just under £19,000, the Super-N comes equipped with a Bose sound system, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control and automatic climate control, helping it stand out in an increasingly competitive EV market.
But what makes the Super-N so appealing isn't just what's on the spec sheet. It's the way Honda has focused on the things that matter most in day-to-day driving. Its compact dimensions make it perfectly suited to urban life, while clever technology such as Traffic Jam Assist helps take some of the stress out of city driving.
There's a sense of practicality throughout the car, too. Inside, Honda has made smart use of the available space, providing room for four occupants and flexible rear seats that can be folded down or flipped up depending on what's being carried.
According to What Car?, the Super-N also delivers a more enjoyable driving experience than many might expect, combining a comfortable ride with responsive steering and features such as Boost mode and simulated gearshifts.
Winning Best Electric Value Car is a significant achievement, especially at a time when drivers are looking more closely than ever at what they're getting for their money. The Honda Super-N may not be chasing headlines with record-breaking range figures or oversized dimensions, but this latest award shows it excels where it matters most: delivering smart, affordable electric motoring that fits seamlessly into everyday life.
