Honda Series 0: the new generation of electric vehicles from the Japanese manufacturer will arrive in 2026

Following a first preview at last year’s CES in Las Vegas, Honda has now used the annual edition of this consumer electronics event to unveil the two far more advanced prototypes it has been working on over the past twelve months, the Honda 0 Sedan and the Honda 0 SUV. In addition, the company has also taken the opportunity to present its new ASIMO OS operating system, which we already told you about in a previous post.

Starting with the Honda 0 Sedan, it includes some notable changes compared with the prototype we saw a year ago, most notably the fact that the gull-wing doors have been replaced with conventional ones. The design of this prototype is hard to miss, with its angular shapes and wedge-shaped rear, although the front does appear to have drawn some inspiration from a model by Lamborghini.

With the production version of the Honda 0 Sedan, the Japanese manufacturer wants to compete in the long-range luxury vehicle segment, designed to cover long distances with the highest level of comfort, such as the Lucid Air or the Mercedes-Benz EQS. If everything goes according to plan, its launch will begin in the North American market in 2026, with availability expanding shortly afterwards to other markets such as Japan and Europe.

The Honda 0 Sedan will then become the flagship not only of the brand but also of its new generation of electric vehicles, the Series 0. To do so, it uses an architecture exclusive to these electric models and integrates cutting-edge technologies with which the company aims to mark a turning point compared with everything we have seen so far.

The Honda Series 0 will debut with an SUV

On the other hand, the Honda 0 SUV, based on the Space Hub prototype presented at CES 2024, will be the first model of the Series 0 to enter production, and will be available in the North American market in the first half of 2026. As the images show, it is a mid-size SUV which, according to the company itself, will stand out especially for the new approach taken to the space available to passengers in its interior.

Honda plans to launch a total of seven new Series 0 models between 2026 and 2030, all with a range of at least 480 kilometres. Production will initially take place at the North American plant in Marysville, Ohio, which will later be joined in 2028 by a new plant yet to be built in the Canadian town of Alliston, Ontario. All Series 0 vehicles will therefore come from plants in North America and not from Japan, as might logically be expected.
