Is this the future for Honda?

Could be. The 0Series Saloon is one of two new concept vehicles unveiled at the CES expo in Vegas, the other being the van-like Space-Hub. Although Honda has been dabbling with EVs for awhile now, this range will mark its transition to afully electric lineup, starting with new models hitting the roads in 2026.

Will it really look this wild?

We’d like to think so, and Honda is pretty good at delivering finished cars that look very much like the prototype. The company hopes the 0Series will address much that has been wrong with EVs up to now –notably, it’s working on better batteries that will result in lighter vehicles.

It looks pretty big.

It’s an everyday Batmobile… and it is indeed awhopper, with along and low body and dramatically styled alloy wheels. The sides are super-smooth, mainly because the door is one large fold-up affair that allows entry to front and back seats at the same time.

Any tech treats on offer?

It’s likely to feature Honda Sensing Elite tech, which includes Level 3 automated driving. And of course no concept car would be complete without AI, which will create a personalised driving experience. There are also onboard cameras, which is just as well as it doesn’t really have anything that could be described as arear windscreen.

What about the drive?

Details are sparse on powertrain options, although we expect the car to be driven by e-motors on both axles. Honda is pushing for optimal charging efficiency too, with its new battery tech aiming to offer charging from 10 to 80% in alittle over 10mins.
