Overview
- The 0 α prototype debuted at the Japan Mobility Show 2025 as a smaller sibling to the previously shown 0 SUV and Saloon.
- Honda calls the 0 α a “gateway model” and says sales begin in 2027 in Japan and India, with additional markets to follow.
- All 0 Series vehicles are planned as software-defined EVs running the new ASIMO OS with automated driving features and over‑the‑air updates.
- A Honda chief engineer says the production 0 α targets a 2,700–2,800mm wheelbase, two LFP battery options likely around 65–75kWh, and an initial single‑motor FWD setup.
- Reporting also points to the larger 0 Series SUV starting production in Ohio in the first half of 2026 and a 2026 India launch as a CBU import, though that India plan is sourced-based and not officially confirmed.
