Honda opens pre-orders for its first Australian EV, offering competitive pricing and strong interest ahead of October 2026 arrival.
Honda has officially announced Australian pricing for the all-new Honda Super-One EV, marking a major step in the brand’s entry into the local electric vehicle market.
The compact electric hatchback will start from $36,900 drive-away, making it one of the most competitively priced EVs in its segment ahead of its showroom arrival in October 2026.
The Honda Super-One will become the first fully electric vehicle sold through Honda Australia dealerships. With dimensions similar to the Hyundai Inster and BYD Atto 1, the retro-inspired EV combines modern electric technology with styling cues drawn from the iconic 1980s Honda City II.
Its unique design positions it as a competitor to models such as the Mini Cooper SE and Fiat 500e.
Honda Australia revealed that more than 6,500 expressions of interest have been registered before official pre-orders opened on August 4. According to the company, this level of demand surpasses the interest generated by the high-performance Civic Type R.
Despite the enthusiasm, only 130 units of the Super-One will be allocated to Australian buyers in 2026, with significantly larger volumes expected in 2027.
Two variants of the Super-One have been confirmed. The base model carries the $36,900 drive-away price tag, while a second version featuring a black roof and Boost Violet exterior finish costs an additional $500.
Although the BYD Atto 1 remains Australia’s lowest-priced EV, the Super-One undercuts the regular retail price of the Hyundai Inster. It is also substantially more affordable than premium compact EV rivals such as the Fiat 500e and Mini Cooper SE.
Built on a dedicated electric vehicle platform, the Super-One is powered by a front-mounted electric motor producing 47kW and 162Nm, with output increasing to 70kW in Boost mode. Energy comes from a 29.6kWh lithium-ion battery, delivering a WLTP-rated driving range of 206 kilometres.
The EV supports DC fast charging, allowing the battery to charge from 30% to 80% in around 30 minutes.
Honda has also confirmed features such as a simulated seven-speed transmission, Active Sound Control system, and the brand’s practical Magic Seats.
Honda further announced capped servicing costs of no more than $199 per visit during the first five years, enhancing the Super-One’s affordability.
The launch comes as Honda continues expanding its electrified lineup, with hybrids remaining a key focus in Australia alongside future EV plans.
