Is the Honda e about to make a spectacular return? This is the new Super EV Concept

Honda has announced it will be bringing a ‘new all-electric urban concept vehicle’ to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, and this early snap of a camouflaged prototype has got us rather excited indeed.

Y’see, it very much looks like we might finally be getting a successor to the retrotastic Honda e. Fingers crossed it has a little bit more range this time around.

Known as the Super EV Concept, this thing looks as brilliantly boxy as the original e, although at first glance it could be taller and narrower. We’re getting serious kei car vibes. Properly chunky wheelarches, too.

Honda said the concept has been “designed to demonstrate how an A-segment model might offer fresh, ‘fun-to-drive’ electric performance alongside trademark Honda usability”. Could that mean a rear-wheel drive layout like the e? Fingers crossed.

The ‘small, sporty model’ has apparently been carrying out feasibility testing in the UK ahead of Goodwood as part of a wider global prototype programme. Let’s just hope something this small and sensible makes it to our shores if it does end up going into production.
