Honda sets £19k start price for new city car...

Express has learned that the new Honda Super-N will start from just £18,995 when it hits showrooms in July.

This will make the funky little EV one of the cheapest cars on sale.

That price tag will certainly help the Super-N in its mission to shake up the small EV market, because it significantly undercuts the popular Renault 5 and the Hyundai Inster.

The closest competitors, in terms of price, will be Chinese models such as the BYD Dolphin Surf, which currently starts from £18,675. The Renault Twingo due on sale later this year and the Kia EV1 arriving in 2028 should also cost about the same as the Honda.

The Super-N is based on the Japanese-market N-One e, but Honda claims to have made substantial changes under the skin to the UK model that will position it as not just an efficient city car, but one that’s fun to drive, too.
