Honda presents world premiere of Honda 0 a prototype

The Honda 0 α is being developed as an SUV that will blend beautifully with both urban and natural environments, supporting people’s lives in every situation. Following the Honda 0 Saloon and the Honda 0 SUV, introduced at CES 2025 in January of this year, the Honda 0 α will be added to the lineup as a “gateway model” for the world of Honda 0 Series, featuring a refined design and a spacious cabin that offers outstanding occupant comfort.

Equipped with technologies that embody the Honda 0 Series development approach — “Thin, Light, and Wise.” — the production model of the Honda 0 α is scheduled to go on sales globally, mainly in Japan and India, starting in 2027.

Packaging and Exterior Design

By applying a packaging design based on the “Thin” approach, the styling with a low vehicle height was achieved without compromising ground clearance, creating a thin cabin that still offers a spacious and comfortable space for occupants. The wide stance is expressing stability and dynamic characteristics unique to SUVs.

The exterior design features both a sleek and sophisticated body design unique to Honda 0 Series and the original proportion of an SUV. There are screen areas in both the front and rear ends of the vehicle. At the front, components that are conventionally separated — such as the headlights, charging lid and illuminated emblem — are integrated into the screen area. At the rear, the U-shaped lighting that combines the tail lamps, backup lamps and turn signal lamps, accentuates the contour of the rear screen area, achieving a design that is visually and functionally refined.
