£19k Honda Super-N First Look – RIP Renault 5?

In our exclusive Honda Super-N first look, we find out if this sub-£20k city car is the ultimate budget EV! With its retro styling and aggressive price tag, the new Super-N is here to make us completely forget the Honda e. But with the hugely popular Renault 5 dominating the affordable electric car market in 2026, can this quirky Japanese pocket rocket really hope to succeed?

In this video, we take a detailed look around the new Super-N. We explore its spiritual connection to the legendary Honda City Turbo "Bulldog", and explain how it uses Hyundai Ioniq 5 N-style tech to (hopefully) deliver a thrilling driving experience. With an active sound control system, paddle shifters for simulated gear changes and a dedicated Boost Mode – all for a likely price of less than £20k – the Super-N promises to be one of the most fun affordable EVs on sale.
