HONDA'S ZERO SERIES SUV AND SALOON ARE HEAD-TURNING PIECES OF ART - COMING IN 2026

EV Channels Review

Honda has unveiled its striking new 0 Series SUV and Saloon prototypes, slated for a 2026 production launch in North America, manufactured in Ohio. The reviewer highlights the head-turning, futuristic design of both models, particularly praising the Saloon's aggressive styling and the SUV's surprisingly practical yet futuristic approach, which exceeded expectations after initial teaser images. Key technological advancements include the new ASIMO OS, steer-by-wire, brake-by-wire, and adaptive dampers, with Level 3 automated driving capabilities planned. While the Saloon is positioned as a flagship with premium materials, the SUV is presented as a more practical, potentially CR-V-sized offering. The reviewer notes the innovative popup headlights and unique rear hatch design on the SUV, and the captivating 'afterburner' tail lights on the Saloon. Potential concerns include the practicality of steering yokes and digital side mirrors for production, and the high potential price point, possibly mirroring the Aila's $90,000+ range. Honda's 'Thin, Light, and Wise' philosophy aims for a range around 300 miles, prioritizing driving dynamics over extreme range.
