Yes, the automaker’s teasing a pair of new EV concept cars! Wait, aren’t these largely the same machines we saw last year?
- If you haven’t heard, Honda plans to introduce its 0 Series EV in 2026
- The automaker’s bringing two prototypes from the Series to CES this year
- In a first, Honda’s using its own in-house-developed EV underpinnings, not GM bones
Look, we know it’s a hard time for everyone. Making today’s dinner out of yesterday’s leftovers is not just a sustainable way to reduce food waste, but also something of a necessity in this age of hyperinflated food prices. But what we don’t wish to see is the approach used for concept cars in the automotive sector.
It isn’t unusual for a brand to trot out the same concept vehicles numerous times on the auto-show circuit; after all, it only makes sense to get as much mileage as possible out of an expensive prototype before moving on to the next one. Trying to hype the same car as something different is a whole ‘nuther kettle of fish, though.
True, the SUV-like machine does have a different rear light signature and its roofline seems a little bit more grounded in reality — but it’s not like these vehicles will be as alien and surprising as last year when they first appeared.
Of far more interest is the notation that Honda will, at CES 2025, introduce a new vehicle operating system and automated driving technologies that will be featured in the Honda 0 Series models. These rigs are also set to be built using a Honda platform, unlike today’s Prologue EV which uses GM bones.
