The first generation N-One was previewed at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show as the N Concept 4.^[3] 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-One went on sale on 1 November 2012.^[4] 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.

The N-One received a minor facelift in July 2015.^[5] All models now feature chrome trim on the front grille and front bumper, and the "Premium" and "Premium Tourer" models also have door sash trim. Furthermore, the roof shape has been changed, a new spoiler design has been adopted, and the "Lowdown" variant was added, featuring a lower suspension, which lowers the overall height by 65 mm (2.6 in), to 1,545 mm (60.8 in), lower than the regular.^[5]

The sportier RS variant was added in December 2017. With the addition of the RS and Select variants and the change in grade names, the N-One variants include: Standard, Menu, Premium, and RS.^[6]

The second-generation N-One went on sale in November 2020.^[8] While the sheetmetal is all-new, it is remainingly similar in design to 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.

Since the CVT variant on the RS variant was discontinued at the end of 2025, the RS is the only model available with a six-speed manual transmission; all other versions use a CVT.^[9] All-wheel drive is available on all models except the RS.

Since 2014, Honda has been organizing the “N-ONE Owner's Cup,” a one-maker spec racing series featuring the N-One. Similar to Toyota's Vitz Race, this is a race for “street-legal vehicles”; participants can compete by adding racing equipment, such as roll cages and four-point seat belts, in their production cars

In its inaugural year of 2014, a total of 10 races (2 exhibition races + 8 series races) were held across 7 circuits in Japan, including in Suzuka Circuit and in Mobility Resort Motegi.^[19]

Starting in 2026, the N-One is eligible to race in the “SC-N” class of the new “Super Taikyu Challenge,” a new second-tier racing series under the Super Taikyu racing series umbrella.^[20]
