Honda 0 Concept Production Model Coming After All

Although Honda dropped the Series 0 sedan and SUV in the US market earlier this year—as well as the Acura RSX—the massive investment in electric mobility research and development will not go to waste. The Japanese car manufacturer is almost ready to present the production version of the Honda 0 Alpha prototype.

The vehicle is intended for the global market, with the focus being on India and Japan, while it will not be available to customers in the US, according to Carscoops.

The Honda 0 Alpha model was first shown as a concept at the Japan Mobility Show in October 2025. In March 2026, Honda unveiled an upgraded version of the prototype, covered in a distinctive purple camouflage film, announcing the start of real-world testing in India. The company has now confirmed that the premiere of this electric SUV will take place on December 2.

Honda’s designers and engineers have paid special attention to the specific needs of customers in India, taking into account the poor road conditions and demanding weather conditions in this populous country. Earlier spy shots provided a glimpse of the interior, hinting at a minimalist dashboard design. They show a large screen of the infotainment system, a modern digital instrument panel, a steering wheel with three spokes and a flat bottom, as well as a separate air conditioning control panel, located on the central console.

When Honda first announced this SUV, it promised “refined design and a spacious cabin that provides passengers with an exceptional level of comfort.” According to the manufacturer, this electric vehicle will be equipped with technologies that are in line with the “thin, light and smart” philosophy.

Underneath the body, the Honda Model 0 Alpha uses an all-electric architecture and will most likely have front-wheel drive, a single electric motor, and two LFP battery options. Local media speculate that the larger of the two batteries could provide a range of up to 500 km on a single charge.

The first all-electric Honda in India will be manufactured at the Tapukara plant in Rajasthan, taking advantage of lower labor costs in the Asian country. Honda plans to later export the model to other markets, including Japan, following the Elevate model that is also produced in India.

The price has not yet been announced, but the Autocar India portal estimates that it could range from (recalculated) 16,900 to 26,400 US dollars.
