Honda Super N Review: The Vertu VERDICT

"The one-of-a-kind Honda Super N has burst onto UK roads with an infectious sense of fun - inspired by the iconic City Turbo II and transcending convention, the Super N embodies Honda's commitment to the 'joy of driving.' With the Boost button, five drive modes and simulated gear shifts, the Super N prioritises dynamic responsiveness and driver involvement, but retains everyday usability with practical features such as the Magic Seats, parking assistance and compact size, making slipping through city streets a breeze."

Supermini EV Cars To Also Consider...

Leapmotor T03

The Leapmotor T03 is another super-compact, great-value electric car, with quite a bit of quirky personality. With a max range of up to 171 miles WLTP, it also places itself into the city car category, but with a top speed of 81mph, it certainly doesn't rule out those occasional motorway trips.

BYD Dolphin Surf

One of the first Chinese brands to really take off in the UK, BYD launched the charming Dolphin Surf to tempt petrol drivers into going electric, without breaking their budget. Another dinky hatchback, the car is small enough to slip through tight city streets and slot seamlessly into parking spots, all while having 308 litres of boot space and the choice between a 30kWh or 43.2kWh battery.

Hyundai INSTER

The Hyundai INSTER approaches the small car in a slightly different style, combining a futuristic, innovative image with a spacious interior and robust SUV profile. The INSTER makes spaciousness and flexibility a priority; the second-row seats split 50/50 as well as sliding forwards for extra boot space and reclining for long items, as well as an impromptu bed.
