2021 Honda N-One RS

Honda updates its cute 'n' cuddly kei hatchback, and makes it stick-shift

Every single kei car is cute, but some are lucky enough to hit every branch of the cute tree on their plummet to the streets of Tokyo. Kei cars like the Honda N One.

This is it in mildly updated form, but Honda has sensibly left its adorable face pretty much alone. It’s all typical facelift fare: newly LED head and tail lights, minor tweaks for the grille and bumpers, and… nowt else. We want to cuddle it just as much as we did before.

The biggest news sits betwixt driver and passenger. Go for the top-spec N One RS and you’ll have the option of a six-speed manual gearbox to replace the standard CVT auto.

Being a car that slots into tight kei regulations – governing exterior dimensions not much larger than a roller skate, and engines to 660cc and 63bhp maximums – it’s not going to behave like a shrunken Civic Type R.

But if Honda’s dinky kei roadster – the similarly cuddly S660 – is anything to go by, it’ll be a delightful and engaging manual. Inside a truly delightful little vehicle…

This reminds me of Suzuki Alto Works. Hopefully, someone would put these two thru their paces to show us how they compare.

This is more for Japan where they have a cult following for kei cars.

To us it is not practical in terms of usable space or price.

But it is still cool that this 660cc kei car comes with a 6 speed manual.

Next time if I am back in Japan, I wanna rent this over there!!!!

This should be practical if there is a coe cat at  1000cc and below classification.

Pricing must not not more than 50K inclusive coe
