Honda is presenting a pair of 0 Series prototype models at CES 2025 ahead of their introduction to the global market from 2026.

A teaser image issued ahead of CES 2025 previews the two prototypes

The prototypes follow the debut of two concepts at last year’s show where the brand first announced the 0 Series and revealed that it’s planning to launch seven models before the end of the decade.

A teaser image issued ahead of CES 2025 indicates that one of the prototypes is based on the Saloon concept introduced this year. This showcased an aerodynamic design low-slung sporty styling and developments such as steer-by-wire, posture control and an interior instrument panel with a human-machine interface (HMI) that enables simple and intuitive operations.

The pre-CES teaser also features another prototype, expected to be one of the SUVs planned in the 0 Series model line.

Honda has also announced plans to introduce the original vehicle operating system (OS) that it plans to adopt for its 0 Series models during the event, which will be held from 7-10 January in Las Vegas.

At CES 2024, Honda premiered its ‘Thin, Light and Wise’ development approach, using a thinner battery design while also reimagining design, safety, space, joy of driving and efficiency for its EVs. At the 2025 show, it will hold a press conference on 7 January with a focus on the ‘Wise’ value of these upcoming models.

The Japanese brand says its development team has gone back to the starting point of Honda and reconsidered what kind of EVs it wants to create in the coming era.

Alongside the introduction of the original vehicle OS, the company will also focus on the automated driving technologies to be installed on the Honda 0 Series and provide an overview of the system on chip (SoC) that will support these models as software defined vehicles (SDV).

Honda has also previously said its new EV line-up will tackle charging concerns, offering “stress-free charging performance and worry-free battery performance that minimises degradation over many years of use”. This includes cutting the time taken for fast-charging from 15% to 80% to about 10-15 minutes. Honda is also working to limit the degradation of battery capacity (range) to less than 10% after 10 years of use.
