Honda’s latest compact electric car, the Super-N, has caught the eyes of car enthusiasts everywhere. But you may wonder why this charming kei car isn’t called ‘Super-One’ in the UK, as it is in some other markets. The answer lies in a simple yet crucial trademark conflict.
The Reason Behind the Name Change
Honda originally intended to market this model as the ‘Super-One’. However, a trademark clash in the UK forced the company to rethink its branding strategy. Another company already holds the rights to the ‘Super-One’ name in Britain, making it legally off-limits for Honda.
What Makes the Super-N Stand Out?
Despite the name change, the Honda Super-N remains a standout in the kei car segment. Its compact size, futuristic design, and environmentally friendly electric powertrain make it both practical and eye-catching. Honda continues to innovate with its electric lineup, and the Super-N exemplifies the brand’s commitment to blending style with sustainability.
So, while UK drivers may not see the ‘Super-One’ badge, they’ll still enjoy everything that makes this mini EV special—just under a different name.
