Amid all the talking fridges and drone-based coffee deliveries at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas were the Saloon and Space-Hub concepts, sitting under the company’s new ‘0 Series’ umbrella that will cover its future electric vehicles. Zero apparently means it’s back to the drawing board for Honda, but also marks its ambition to get to zero environmental impact and zero accident fatalities. All sounds lovely – but doesn’t that Saloon give off Countach vibes?
So is the 0 Series a sub-brand? Corporate PowerPoint padding? Who knows – but we’ll go from zero to one in 2026, with a production version of the Saloon (it’s not even a saloon, what’s going on there?) on sale first in North America, then Japan and the rest of the world. Honda has confirmed it’s working on an electric sports car, new SUVs and a smaller electric car as part of its 0 Series, but we won’t see those until nearer the end of the decade.
