Honda Motor unveiled two concept cars, the “Space-Hub” and “Saloon,” at the CES tech conference, providing a glimpse into an upcoming lineup of electrified vehicles set to debut in North America in 2026. The initial production model, part of the “Honda 0 Series” EV, will be based on these concept models. Honda emphasizes three core principles in developing the “0 Series” vehicles: “Thin, light, and wise.”
Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe stated, “We will create a completely new value from zero based on thin, light, and wise as the foundation for our new Honda 0 EV series to further advance the joy and freedom of mobility to the next level.”
The company’s plan involves introducing the first model of the Honda 0 Series, based on the Saloon concept, in North America. Subsequent model releases are scheduled for Japan, Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and South America. Honda Motor unveiled
The Saloon is a sleek, futuristic-looking vehicle that seems fit for “Tron” movies, with a large open-mouthed front-end light in neon lighting with a redesigned Honda “H” in the center. The back, like the front, features a large indented rectangular area with red lighting around the interior with “Honda” in the center.
Inside, the Saloon features a minimalistic digital cockpit with a yoke steering wheel, which is similar to concept cars from other companies that have debuted at CES. To enter, a large falcon wing door opens upward from the roof of the vehicle.
The Space-Hub is a minivan/shuttle that includes the same type of design characteristics as the smaller Saloon but in larger formats. Its interior features a similar cockpit, but it has a cavernous back area with lounge-type seating.
