The Honda N-One (Japanese: ホンダ・N-ONE Hepburn: Honda Enuwan) (corporately styled as N-ONE) is a kei car produced by Honda since 2012 over two generations. It is a five-door hatchback with retro styling and either front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The N-One was previewed at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show and went on sale on 1 November 2012 for the Japanese market. 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]
