The Honda 0 Series looks like a hero car.
Honda unveiled a dramatically styled electric vehicle at CES that previews a production model that will launch in the U.S. in 2026.
The angular 0 Series Saloon concept features a low roof and sleek design meant to optimize its efficiency using aerodynamic techniques learned in motor racing.
The concept is equipped with gullwing doors that show off its roomy interior and a digital display for a grille.

The batteries will be built at a new factory in Ohio that is a joint venture with LG Energy Solutions, but Honda didn’t confirm where the vehicle will be assembled.
The drivetrain will use an e-Axle developed with Hitachi Astemo that combines a silicon carbide inverter; a square-wire, low-loss and high-efficiency motor; and a “quiet” gearbox in a compact package.
