Honda Super-N vs Smart #2

The Honda Super-N and Smart #2 are both electric hatchbacks in the city car class. The Honda Super-N starts at £18,995 in the UK and the Smart #2 at £20,000.

The Super-N is £1,005 cheaper to buy new (£18,995 against £20,000). On top of that, it uses less energy (4.1 mi/kWh against 3.9 mi/kWh) and is quicker, doing 0–62 mph in 10.0 s against 11.6 s.

The #2 goes further, with about 137 miles of real-world range against 115 for the Super-N. On top of that, it charges faster on a rapid charger (50 kW against 40 kW on average, 10–80%) and has the bigger boot (305 litres against 162).

There's little between them on warranty length (3 years).

Choose the Honda Super-N if you want the lower price and lower running costs and the Smart #2 if you want the longest range and quicker charging stops.
