Rounding off the seven-car line-up, Honda will introduce a compact SUV in 2028, another slightly smaller SUV in 2029 and finally a compact saloon in 2030.  

Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe revealed to us at CES 2024 that the company is also planning an all-electric sports car for its new sub brand. Sadly it’s not one of the seven EVs scheduled to arrive by 2030, so might not arrive until sometime after that.

The 0 Series cars will wear a new version of Honda’s H logo found on the Saloon concept. The Honda 0 Series name is a nod to how the company is developing the range entirely from scratch, or “zero”, all under the approach of “Thin, Light, and Wise.” 

Thin refers to the use of a new bespoke EV platform, ultra-thin battery pack and compact e-Axle drive unit that supposedly allows the 0 Series models to feature “unprecedented styling” with low vehicle heights and short overhangs. 

Meanwhile, to help deliver a sporty driving experience, Honda’s goal is to reduce weight in 0 Series models by around 100kg compared to its previous EVs. This along with a highly efficient powertrain is meant to help achieve the brand’s other target of more than 300 miles of range from every model in the 0 Series line-up.

The 0 Series models are also set to feature Level 3 autonomous driving technology and artificial intelligence, plus their functions will be continuously updated through over-the-air updates.
