Honda presents global EV prototypes at CES 2025

Honda presented two prototype EV models, the 0 Saloon and 0 SUV, at CES 2025. They will be introduced to global markets in 2026. 

The Japanese manufacturer also introduced its original vehicle operating system (OS), the ASIMO OS, for the 0 Series models. 

By further advancing the concept model introduced last year at CES 2024, the Honda 0 Saloon prototype was developed in preparation for a market launch scheduled in 2026. 

While maintaining the exact styling design of the concept model, the prototype model features a low-height, sporty styling that initially sets the Saloon apart from other EVs. 

According to Honda, Its interior space is more spacious than people imagine based on its exterior dimensions. 

The Honda 0 Saloon will be based on the newly developed dedicated EV architecture and feature several next-generation technologies that embody the Honda 0 Series’ “thin, light, and wise” development approach.

The production model of the Honda 0 Saloon is scheduled to be introduced first in the North American market in 2026, then in global markets, including Japan and Europe.  

Based on the Space-Hub concept model unveiled at CES 2024, Honda presented the prototype of a mid-size EV SUV, the first Honda 0 Series model. 

Honda says applying the “Thin, Light, and Wise” approach to an SUV further increases interior space. The result was a spacious cabin with an outstandingly clear, unrestricted field of view and great flexibility. 

This model will offer the value of an “ever-advancing” space through the “ultra-personal optimisation” and digital UX made possible by the ASIMO OS. Moreover, the Honda 0 SUV will apply high-precision attitude estimation and stabilisation control based on 3D gyro sensors, technology Honda has amassed through the development of its original robotics technologies to enable dynamics at the driver’s will on various types of road surfaces. 

The production model of the Honda 0 SUV is scheduled to be introduced in the first half of 2026 in North America and then in global markets, including Japan and Europe.
