The first, called the Honda 0 Series, will go into production in 2026. The new models will also have a new Honda “H” logo as part of the company’s shift to EVs, Pete Dapena-Valdes reported for CNN.
Honda last year said that it was investing $40 billion to create new EVs with plans to introduce 30 new EVs globally by 2030.
Earlier, Honda said it plans to sell only zero-emission vehicles by 2040. Honda lags behind competitors in sales of EVs. In the US, Honda does not offer any EV models, although it has offered some in specific markets, like California.
A mass-market electric SUV – the Prologue, created in cooperation with General Motors – is expected to go on sale this year. Hyundai, Kia, Ford, and GM have multiple EV models for sale already.
The two Honda 0 series concept vehicles are called the Saloon and the Space-Hub. In automotive terms, saloon is another word for sedan that is more commonly used in British English.
The Saloon concept looks more like a hatchback, though, with a low, smooth outline ending in a blunt back end.
It represents the first Series 0 model that will be available in North America beginning sometime in 2026. The Space-Hub concept is taller with a body resembling a van. This vehicle has a spacious, flexible interior that can carry a “a variety of passengers,” according to Honda.
