Electric vehicles are everywhere, but many drivers still feel like something is missing. Too heavy. Too complicated. Too disconnected. Honda agrees, and instead of tweaking the formula, the brand decided to start over completely. Enter the Honda 0 Series.

Unveiled at CES 2025, the Honda 0 Series represents a bold reset for electric mobility, built around a simple but powerful idea: Thin, Light, and Wise. With production models expected to arrive in 2026, the Honda 0 Series is not just a new lineup. It is Honda returning to its starting point to rethink what driving should feel like in the EV era. At D’ELLA Honda of Glens Falls, we are watching this future take shape closely, because this is the kind of innovation that changes expectations.

Why Honda Is Rewriting the EV Playbook

Most electric vehicles today follow the same pattern: large batteries, heavy platforms, and technology that often feels more overwhelming than empowering. Honda took a different path with the 0 Series by asking a fundamental question: how can EVs deliver joy and freedom of mobility again? The answer is Thin, Light, and Wise.

This approach challenges the idea that EVs must be bulky and complex. Instead, Honda is developing a dedicated EV platform that lowers vehicle height, improves aerodynamics, reduces weight, and prioritizes efficiency and driving engagement. The result is an EV designed to feel intuitive, responsive, and genuinely enjoyable.

Thin: Design That Feels Purposeful, Not Excessive

The “Thin” philosophy starts with proportion. By using a slim EV platform and lowering the floor height, Honda unlocks new design possibilities that improve visibility, aerodynamics, and interior space. The result is a futuristic silhouette that looks different for a reason, not just for attention. This approach allows the Honda 0 Series to feel lighter visually and physically, while improving efficiency and performance. It is design that supports function, not design that competes with it.

Light: Reclaiming the Joy of Driving

Honda has always been known for vehicles that feel connected to the driver, and the 0 Series brings that philosophy into the electric age. Through weight reduction, optimized battery packaging, and Honda-developed electric technologies, the 0 Series aims to deliver sporty, responsive driving that defies what many people expect from EVs.

The goal is simple: make the car feel like an extension of the driver again. For the saloon concept, Honda is introducing steer-by-wire technology and advanced motion management systems that allow for precise control and a sense of oneness between driver and vehicle. This is not about speed for bragging rights. It is about confidence, control, and enjoyment behind the wheel.

Wise: Technology That Learns You, Not the Other Way Around

The “Wise” part of the Honda 0 Series is where intelligence meets humanity. These vehicles are being developed as software-defined mobility products, meaning they learn and adapt over time. Using AI, connected technologies, and driver monitoring systems, the Honda 0 Series will be able to recognize preferences, driving habits, and behaviors. The vehicle can then make thoughtful suggestions, streamline interactions, and reduce friction in everyday use. The goal is a stress-free experience where technology fades into the background and supports what you want to do, when you want to do it.

Safety, Efficiency, and the Long View

Honda is also setting new expectations for safety and sustainability. Future Honda 0 Series models will feature next-generation ADAS and automated driving technologies designed to feel more human-like in their decision-making. Hands-off driving capability will expand, while driver monitoring ensures peace of mind. On the efficiency side, Honda is targeting outstanding electric performance with smaller battery capacities, fast charging times of approximately 10 to 15 minutes from 15% to 80%, and long-term battery health. Honda aims to limit battery degradation to less than 10% after 10 years of use, addressing one of the biggest concerns EV drivers have today. This is innovation designed for real ownership, not short-term headlines.

What This Means for Drivers in 2026 and Beyond

The Honda 0 Series is for drivers who want the future to feel exciting again. It is for people who value thoughtful design, intuitive technology, and the joy of driving, even as mobility evolves. While the Honda 0 Saloon and Honda 0 SUV are still prototypes, their direction is clear. Honda is not chasing trends. It is building something intentional.
