The Honda N-One (Japanese: ホンダ・N-ONE, Hepburn: Honda Enuwan) (corporately styled as N-ONE) is a retro styled kei car produced by Honda for the Japanese market. It was previewed at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show and went on sale on 1 November 2012. Together with the N-Box, N-WGN and N-Van, is part of the renewed N lineup of kei class city cars from Honda. The "N" prefix was previously used for the late 1960s and 1970s N360; originally it stood for norimono which loosely translates to vehicle. For the new N lineup, the "N" represents New, Next, Nippon, and Norimono.[2]
First generation (JG1/2; 2012)
The N-One was introduced in 2012 as a newer addition to Honda's kei car lineup in Japan. It features styling reminiscent of the 1969–1972 N360 and incorporates Honda's DOHC three-cylinder engine with a continuously variable transmission, which was launched in 2011 with the N-Box. It is marketed as an upmarket vehicle in the kei class and incorporates standard features uncommon for its class.

Second generation (JG3/4; 2020)
The second-generation N-One went on sale in November 2020.[3] While the sheetmetal is all new, it is not easily told apart from the first generation. The lineup of the second generation started with the Original, followed by the Premium and Premium Tourer, with the sporting RS model at the top. The Tourer and RS models are fitted with the more powerful, turbocharged engine. The RS is the only model to be available with a six-speed manual; all other versions have a CVT transmission. Four-wheel drive was available on all models except the RS.
