Honda is ushering in a new chapter of mobility with its bold push into the next era of electric driving. At the forefront is the Honda 0 Series, a groundbreaking lineup of electric vehicles (EVs) designed from the ground up to redefine what an EV can be. Unveiled through striking prototypes at CES 2025, this series embodies Honda’s philosophy of returning to its roots—rethinking mobility from “zero” to create vehicles that are Thin, Light, and Wise.This approach flips the script on traditional EV design, which often results in heavy, bulky vehicles due to large batteries. Instead, Honda prioritizes:
- Thin: Sleek, aerodynamic forms that expand design freedom and boost efficiency.
- Light: Reduced weight for nimble handling, better energy efficiency, and improved cost performance.
- Wise: Intelligent technologies, including advanced AI-driven systems, next-generation automated driving features, and highly personalized in-cabin experiences.
The series kicked off with two captivating prototypes: the Honda 0 SALOON and Honda 0 SUV. These models preview production vehicles arriving in 2026, starting in North America, with subsequent launches in Japan, Europe, and other markets.
The Honda 0 SALOON envisions a futuristic sedan-like form with exceptional aerodynamics, spacious interiors, and engaging dynamics. It promises features like steer-by-wire systems, posture control, and high-density batteries that minimize degradation over time for long-lasting performance.
The Honda 0 SUV (including variants like the Honda 0 α shown at the Japan Mobility Show 2025) offers versatility for families and everyday use, blending bold styling with practical space and advanced connectivity.
Honda’s vision extends beyond hardware. The 0 Series integrates cutting-edge software, such as human-centric automated driving (building on Honda SENSING technologies) that feels natural and confident. Over-the-air updates will keep vehicles evolving, while intelligent interfaces deliver ultra-personalized experiences—making every drive feel uniquely tailored to the user.
This launch marks Honda’s commitment to electrification as part of its broader goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. While models like the Honda Prologue already deliver reliable electric performance today—with access to extensive charging networks, including Tesla Superchargers—the 0 Series represents the true leap forward. It combines Honda’s legendary engineering with forward-thinking innovation to restore the joy of driving in an electric world.
Production models of the Honda 0 Series are set to hit roads starting in 2026, promising ranges competitive with top rivals, efficient fast charging, and that signature Honda fun-to-drive character. As the automotive landscape shifts toward sustainable mobility, Honda isn’t just following the trend—it’s rewriting the rules.A new era of electric driving is indeed on its way, and with the Honda 0 Series, it’s arriving with style, intelligence, and excitement. Stay tuned—Honda’s electrified future starts now.
