Honda wowed the audience at CES 2025 in Las Vegas by unveiling two striking prototypes, the Honda 0 Saloon and Honda 0 SUV, from its upcoming 0 Series. Both vehicles represent bold steps into the future of mobility, combining stunning designs, next-generation technologies, and an innovative approach to electric vehicles (EVs). Developed under Honda's "Thin, Light, and Wise" philosophy, these models redefine what EVs can offer in terms of performance, aesthetics, and user-driven experiences. The Honda 0 Saloon pairs sporty styling and low height with a remarkably spacious interior, while the 0 SUV boasts enhanced cabin flexibility and optimized visibility, enhancing the sense of freedom both vehicles aim to deliver.
At the core of both prototypes lies the cutting-edge ASIMO OS, Honda's original AI-powered vehicle operating system named after its iconic humanoid robot. Designed to transform these EVs into highly personalized settings for mobility, ASIMO OS introduces "ultra-personal optimization" to tailor driving and in-cabin experiences to individual users. Furthermore, the vehicles integrate Honda’s advanced Level 3 automated driving capabilities, allowing for "eyes-off" operation in expanding scenarios. This AI-augmented functionality not only enhances safety but also gives drivers the freedom to engage in other activities while commuting. With continuous over-the-air (OTA) updates, these vehicles promise an ever-evolving driving experience, turning EVs into software-defined vehicles (SDVs).
Slated for launch in North America in 2026 and expanding globally thereafter, the Honda 0 Series also pushes the boundaries of energy efficiency. With advanced EV architectures, smart charging through Honda’s Home Energy Management System, and support for the North American Charging Standard (NACS), these vehicles address the broader challenges of EV infrastructure. Beyond just mobility, the range contributes to a greener society by utilizing renewable energy, serving as a virtual power plant, and minimizing electricity costs for owners. Together, the Honda 0 Saloon and 0 SUV prototypes signify Honda’s vision of delivering zero-compromise EVs that embody performance, sustainability, and the joy of driving.
