Production versions of these vehicles will debut in North America in 2026, followed by global markets including Japan and Europe. The 0 series represents Honda's commitment to creating innovative and sustainable electric vehicles with advanced technology.
Honda 0 Saloon & Honda 0 SUV
ASIMO OS and next generation technology
At the heart of the 0 series is Honda's new ASIMO Operating System (OS)Named after its iconic humanoid robot. ASIMO OS integrates electronic control units (ECUs) for vehicle systems such as automated driving, advanced driver assistance (AD/ADAS), and infotainment. With over-the-air (OTA) updates, Honda will improve vehicle functions and services over time, tailoring them to individual user preferences.
Honda has partnered with Renesas Electronics Corporation to develop a high-performance system-on-chip (SoC) for future 0 Series models. This SoC will support a centralized electronic architecture, providing top-class AI processing capabilities while minimizing power consumption. These innovations aim to deliver highly personalized and efficient electric vehicles.
Honda 0 SUV Prototype
The Honda 0 SUV is a mid-size EV built on Honda's dedicated EV platform. It embodies the “thin, light and intelligent” design philosophy, prioritizing spacious interiors, improved visibility and flexibility. Features include:
- A steer-by-wire system for improved handling.
- Digital user experience powered by ASIMO OS.
- Advanced technology enables ultra-personal mobility.
The production version, built at Honda's EV hub in Ohio, will be available in North America by mid-2026 and globally thereafter.
Honda 0 Saloon Prototype
The flagship Honda 0 Saloon boasts sleek, wedge-shaped styling and a surprisingly spacious cabin. It incorporates state-of-the-art technologies including Level 3 automated driving and ASIMO OS to deliver a highly customizable mobility experience. Production is expected to begin in late 2026.
Automated driving and energy innovation
Honda is expanding Level 3 “ice-off” technology to the 0 Series; It allows drivers to perform secondary tasks such as watching a movie during certain driving conditions. Honda's AI technologies, combined with data-driven insights, aim to create safer and more intuitive driver-assistance systems.
Additionally, Honda is launching a robust energy ecosystem. 0 series will adopt the North American Charging Standard (NACS) and participate in IONNA, a joint venture that will create a 30,000-station charging network by 2030. Honda is also advancing home energy solutions, enabling cars to act as virtual power plants, reducing costs. , and stabilizing the electricity grid.
