The Honda N360, an air-cooled vehicle, was specifically designed to meet the criteria for Japanese kei car tax incentives. For international markets, it was equipped with a larger 598cc twin engine and referred to as the N600 or Honda 600 Sedan. These models marked Honda's inaugural entry into the US automotive market, available from 1969 to 1972. Subsequently, they were succeeded by the somewhat larger CVCC, maintaining a compact size.
