In Japan, the Honda N-Box has been the top-selling light four-wheeled vehicle for the past 11 years. That certainly makes this kei car a hometown hero, and it’s a shame it isn’t available here in the Philippines.

To add insult to injury, buyers in Japan will soon be treated to a trio of new styles. The new lineup will feature a mix of retro looks and modern designs with distinct interior finishes. These are, namely, the Custom Turbo Coordinated Style, the Joy Turbo Black Style, and the Fashion Style.

All three are expected to drop in July 2026, with reservation books opening next week. Prices for the 2026 model have yet to be released, but currently, the N-Box lineup starts at just ¥1,739,100 (around P655,000). While its chances of reaching the Philippines are slim to none, at least we can admire these from afar.

This is easily our favorite look from the bunch. Its fascia features a vintage-looking Honda wordmark in place of the traditional ‘H’ logo. There are also black accents around the headlights and the bumper, complementing the Desert-Beige Pearl paint job. Inside, plaid upholstery covers the seats, and it looks oh so cool.

The new N-Box Custom gets a wider bumper, allowing more space for new square-shaped foglights. There are also chrome accents around the grille, with similar-looking garnishes on the sides and the tailgate. The use of chrome continues inside the cabin, along with piano-black finishes for a classier look and feel.

While there is already an existing N-Box Fashion Style trim, the 2026 model updates the exterior with a white roof to match the bluish Fjord Mist Pearl color. Chrome accents on the grille and other garnishes elevate the overall look.

Among these three designs, which one is your favorite? Sound off in the comments section.
