The Honda 0 SUV is a cancelled electric vehicle prototype unveiled by Honda at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show, as part of the Honda 0 Series in 2025.[1] This mid-size SUV is part of Honda's 0 Series, which also includes the Honda 0 Saloon.[2] In March 2026, Honda cancelled the 0 SUV due to profit losses.[3]
Design and architecture
The Honda 0 SUV follows a design inspired by the Space-Hub concept model. It features a boxy exterior with elements influenced by vehicles from the 1970s and 1980s.[4] The SUV is built on Honda's dedicated EV platform, incorporating a thinner battery design. The interior is designed to maximize space and visibility.[5]
Technology
The vehicle includes an integrated operating system called ASIMO OS, which provides personalized driving experiences.[6] It is also equipped with Level 3 automated driving capabilities, which allow limited hands-free operation under specific conditions. The vehicle's computing system is developed in collaboration with Renesas Electronics Corporation.[7]
Performance and range
The Honda 0 SUV was expected to be available in single and dual-motor configurations.[8] The single-motor version may have delivered approximately 241 horsepower, while the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version could have provided up to 480 horsepower.[9] The estimated battery capacity is between 80kWh and 90kWh, offering a projected range of around 300 miles per charge.[10]
Market availability
The production version of the Honda 0 SUV was planned for release in North America in 2026, followed by Japan and Europe.[11] Pricing details were not officially announced.
In March 2026, Honda cancelled the 0 SUV, along with the 0 Saloon and Acura RSX due to profit losses.[3]
