Those who have an interest in Japanese Kei cars know how famous the Honda N-One in this segment is. To make the offering more exciting, Honda has introduced a Style + Urban special edition for the N-One.
Exterior
The 2022 Honda Style + Urban special edition looks more luxurious inside and outside. The frontal look is enhanced by a chrome border around the grille. Above the grille is a gloss black part connecting to the headlights. The mirror caps and door handles also get a contrasting black finish.
Honda offers this special edition in Garden Green Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, Meteoroid Gray Metallic, and Premium Ivory Pearl II Flame Red. The wheels are 14-inch steel with a three-spoke knockoff pressed in the center.
Interior
The interior gets a combination of tan and charcoal upholstery along with gray stitching. A touch of luxury is added through the faux wood panel. Besides, we can see the steering wheel’s lower spoke features a metallic trim. The all-wheel-drive model gets heated seats as well.
Engine
The small city car has a 660-cc naturally aspirated three-cylinder engine under the hood that mates to a CVT, having good enough power for daily commutes within the city. If that’s not acceptable, the automaker also offers a turbocharged version of the 660-cc three-cylinder making 63 horsepower (48 kilowatts) and just 77 pound-feet (104 newton-meters). This mill is accessible for the RS model and pairs with a six-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission, powering the front wheels only.
The RS also received LED fog lights, black 15-inch wheels, and leather upholstery wrapping the gearshift and steering wheel.
Price
Honda lists 1,679,700 yen ($12,234 at present exchange figures) for the front wheel drive model and 1,812,800 yen ($13,212) for the all-wheel-drive model.
Last year, Honda also introduced a one-off N-One K-Climb concept car as a hill-climb racing trim of the RS. While it had the same powertrain as the RS, the engineers made extensive tweaks elsewhere. For instance, Honda extended the wheelbase and made the track wider. In addition, they created the hood, front bumper, grille, and rear splitter with carbon fibre.
