Honda has confirmed it will reveal its ‘Super EV’ concept at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed – a small, city-focused electric car and a successor to the slow-selling Honda e.
Little is known about the Honda Super EV at this stage, but it fits neatly with our scoop from this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January, when we reported on Honda’s plans to launch a replacement for its now-defunct electric city car, which was removed from sale in 2023.
At the time, Honda’s global head of electrification business development, Katsushi Inoue, told us the brand was “at the development stage” and that “eventually, in the future, [Honda] will talk about smaller vehicles”.

It turns out that the “future” is actually now, as just six months on from CES, the firm is gearing up to show its take on the next-generation small car. Dubbed Super EV, the concept will eventually appear as a small electric car to rival mainstream models like the latest MINI Cooper and Fiat 500e, as well as budget newcomers such as the BYD Dolphin Surf and Citroen e-C3.
So far, Honda has issued a single image of the new model driving across Westminster Bridge in London, followed by one of the city’s iconic black cabs.
