FRESH START FOR HONDA EVS! 0 SERIES SUV & SEDAN FULL TOUR

EV Channels Review

Honda's '0 Series' prototypes, the Saloon and SUV, offer a compelling glimpse into the brand's future EV strategy, aiming for a 2026 release. The Saloon, while still a prototype, showcases a sleek, low-profile design reminiscent of the Lamborghini Gallardo and a nod to the NSX with its sliding headlights. Inside, the focus is on a minimalist, tech-forward cabin featuring a steer-by-wire system, a yoke steering wheel, and the 'Asimo OS' with proactive AI capabilities designed to adapt to the driver's mood and schedule. However, the lack of physical cup holders and the reliance on capacitive buttons are notable drawbacks. The SUV, closer to production, impresses with its unique front fascia featuring 64 LEDs and a design that echoes the Honda e. While the interior largely mirrors the Saloon's minimalist approach, the SUV's exterior design, particularly the rear, is described as controversial yet unique. Both prototypes highlight Honda's commitment to innovation with advanced ADAS aiming for Level 3 autonomy and a focus on thin, light, and wise design principles. The charging speed target of 15-80% in 10-15 minutes is promising, though specific battery and motor details remain undisclosed.
