Overview
- The 0 α prototype is presented as the ‘gateway’ model for Honda’s new 0 Series and showcases the brand’s Thin, Light, and Wise philosophy.
- Design highlights include integrated front and rear ‘screen areas’ that combine lighting, charging lid and badging, plus a U‑shaped rear light signature.
- Honda says the production model will go on sale in 2027 with an initial focus on Japan and India before wider rollout to other markets.
- Chief engineer Toshikazu Hirose told Autocar India the production car targets a 2,700–2,800 mm wheelbase, two LFP battery options likely around 65–75 kWh, and an initial single‑motor front‑wheel‑drive setup.
- Multiple reports indicate India is likely to play a key production and export role, and Honda says the 0 α is part of a broader plan to launch three 0 Series models in Japan by fiscal 2028 and seven globally by 2030.
