The pair of EVs – an SUV and a sedan – are drawing closer to production, but are still notably short on specifications
- Honda’s big CES reveal was new versions of its 0 Series EVs, due out early 2026
- Despite the looming launch date, no details were released about the powertrain
- We did get interior pics, and news of a new operating system, called ASIMO OS
The latest prototype versions of Honda’s pair of “0 Series” electric vehicles were rolled out on stage at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week, marking the latest attempt by this brand to pawn these machines off as new cars. Anyone paying attention will have long realized this pair have seen the light of day on numerous occasions, so it would be wise to ignore any breathless headlines to the contrary written by AI-driven websites.
Other specs are scarce, but Honda did show off images of the cabin, so that’s something new, I guess.
Both vehicles will introduce new software called ASIMO OS, named after the friendly humanoid robot developed by Honda and first showing up at CES about twenty years ago. Beyond the nostalgia-filled name, there wasn’t much detail about this endeavour either, other than the typical boilerplate every manufacturer trots out when it introduces a new operating system for its infotainment gear. Maybe a dog ate everyone’s homework on the flight to CES.
As for the cars, Honda says the 0 SUV is scheduled to be introduced in the North American market in the first half of 2026, then in global markets such as Japan and Europe. The 0 Saloon will follow about six months later.
