Honda released a teaser of its upcoming all-electric SUV.
It's part of the automaker's Honda 0 Series lineup.
The electric crossover prototype will be unveiled next to an electric sedan prototype that is near-production-ready.

Honda has big plans for its electric vehicle future. After collaborating with General Motors to produce the Prologue crossover–which is doing rather well, sales-wise–the Japanese automaker will do everything on its own for the next chapter.

You might have read something about the Honda 0 Series lineup, which was first previewed last year by the Saloon and Space-Hub EV concept. The Saloon was a wedge-shaped EV with strong DeLorean DMC-12 vibes and at the time, Honda was adamant that it would form the base for a series production model.

Well, now Honda has released a new teaser showing two EVs. Both are prototypes, but the automaker said they “represent the next models in the Honda 0 Series.” That’s exciting stuff because the Saloon had a pretty radical design, and it’s cool to see car manufacturers sticking to their promises and bringing some well-needed attitude to today’s roads.

While we already know what the sedan looks like, the crossover on the right has never made an appearance until now. At first glance, it’s quite boxy, which should translate into a spacious interior. There’s a U-shaped LED light strip at the rear, as well as a pair of LED stoplights. The rear bumper also seems to protrude quite a lot.

Both prototypes will be revealed at next year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on January 7. Moreover, Honda will show its new proprietary vehicle operating system, as well as the automated driving tech it’s working on. The Japanese carmaker is also planning to introduce a new energy service that’s scheduled to go online when the new Honda 0 Series models go into production.

The production version of the Saloon concept is expected to go into production in 2026 at Honda’s new EV hub. It will be cheaper than the Tesla Model S or Model X, but still solidly in the premium segment, as our own Kevin Williams found out during a press trip to Honda’s R&D center in Japan. Besides the sedan, Honda is planning to launch two more electric crossovers, a three-row SUV and two more cheaper SUVs later on. A compact sedan will be the final piece of the puzzle.
