In a significant announcement at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, Honda unveiled the prototype of its next‑generation 0 α (Alpha) electric SUV. The concept, part of the brand’s new 0 Series lineup, is scheduled to go on sale in Japan and India by 2027. It embodies Honda’s “Thin, Light, and Wise” design philosophy, with a refined, low‑slung profile that doesn’t sacrifice interior space or comfort.

The 0 Alpha features integrated headlamps, a charging port, and an illuminated emblem within a sleek front screen, while the rear U‑shaped light strip unifies tail, brake, and turn signals for a minimalist aesthetic. This combination of thin packaging and SUV practicality is designed to blend seamlessly in both urban and natural environments.
Indian press reports note that the concept’s broad stance and upright lines project stability. When it launches, the 0 Alpha is expected to compete with upcoming electric SUVs such as the Tata Curvv EV, Maruti Suzuki e‑Vitara, Hyundai Creta EV, Mahindra BE6 and MG ZS EV. The rear design hints at generous luggage capacity and improved practicality, aligning with Honda’s plan to offer a roomy yet “thin” cabin for occupants. The model will serve as a gateway into Honda’s 0 Series and could pave the way for more affordable, tech‑forward EVs in India.
For Indian EV enthusiasts, the Honda 0 Alpha represents a major milestone in the country’s transition to electric mobility. As EV adoption accelerates across India, initiatives like this highlight the growing diversity of options and the intensifying competition among global automakers. Earlier this week we reported on financing partnerships that aim to make EV ownership easier—see our coverage of the VinFast India–YES BANK financing deal for more context.
The 0 Alpha’s introduction also follows news about established players like Suzuki and Mahindra expanding their electric SUV ranges, indicating that the Indian market is heating up. Overall, the Honda 0 Alpha concept signals a new era of stylish yet practical electric SUVs tailor‑made for our cities and highways, and its eventual arrival in India could reshape the electric SUV segment.
