THE WEDGE OF HEAVEN

Honda O Series Saloon

- Rob Clymo

Is this the future for Honda? 

Could be. The 0 Series Saloonis one of two new concept vehicles unveiled at the CES expo in Vegas, the other being the van-like Space-Hub. Although Honda has been dabbling with EVs for a while now, this range will mark its transition to a fully electric lineup, starting with new models hitting the roads in 2026.

Will it really look this wild?

We'd like to think so, and Honda is pretty good at delivering finished cars that look very much like the prototype. The company hopes the 0 Series will address much that has been wrong with EVs up to now-notably, it's working on better batteries that will result in lighter vehicles.

It looks pretty big.

It's an everyday Batmobile... and it is indeed a whopper, with a long and low body and dramatically styled alloy wheels. The sides are super-smooth, mainly because the door is one large fold-up affair that allows entry to front and back seats at the same time.

Any tech treats on offer?
