A Thrilling Debut on the Streets of Tokyo
The world got its first glimpse of Honda's next-generation electric SUV when Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen took it for a spin at the Red Bull Showrun x Powered by Honda event in Tokyo. This special showcase, held just before the Japanese Grand Prix, marked Honda's six-year partnership with Red Bull Racing, a collaboration that has brought over 63 Grand Prix victories and multiple championships.
The real highlight of the event was the Honda 0 SUV Prototype, a major part of Honda’s all-electric 0 Series. Set to begin production in 2026 in Ohio, this SUV is designed to redefine electric mobility with an innovative design, a spacious interior, and cutting-edge digital technology.

Power and Performance: What to Expect?
While Honda has yet to confirm official powertrain details, speculation suggests that the Honda 0 SUV will be available in both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations. Power output is rumored to range from 241 horsepower to 480 horsepower, positioning it as a potential challenger in the performance EV segment.
Another major technological upgrade is Steer-by-Wire technology, which enhances handling precision and driver feedback—a feature that could set a new benchmark for Honda’s future EV lineup.
What’s Next for the Honda 0 Series?

Meanwhile, production of the Honda 0 SUV will kick off in Ohio in 2025, followed by a North American launch in 2026, and later in Japan and Europe.
