The Honda 0 Series SUV and Salon concept electric cars showcase the Japanese auto giant's newly developed dedicated EV architecture.
Honda has showcased two new electric car concepts under the 0 Series branding at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, US. The production version of the prototype SUV and saloon will launch in the US in 2026 and will follow in global markets thereafter.
Honda has unveiled two new EV concept models at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 on January 7. The Honda 0 Series electric vehicle concepts showcased at the event offer two body types – an SUV and a saloon. The final version of these two EV concepts will go into production in the United States later this year and will be launched in global markets next year. The Japanese auto giant has also showcased its new ASIMO operating system for its vehicles which will be used for Honda 0 Series models.
The Honda 0 Series electric vehicles will use a newly developed dedicated EV platform. This is different from the Honda Prologue electric car which uses the Ultium platform developed by General Motors. The new 0 Series electric cars will be part of Honda's 30 new electric cars that the carmaker plans to launch in global markets by the end of this decade.
Honda 0 Series EV Concept: Highlights
Honda has not given much information about the powertrain and performance specifications of these two electric cars. However, the Honda 0 series electric vehicles are expected to be equipped with both single and dual electric motor setups. While the single-motor EV is likely to produce 241 bhp power, the dual-motor version could churn out up to 482 bhp power. Honda is also expected to offer EVs with four-wheel drive technology.

Honda has not shared details about the battery size in these upcoming EVs. The carmaker is likely to equip the 0 Series electric SUV and saloon with at least a 90 kWh battery pack. This can help give EVs a range of about 490 kilometers on a single charge. Honda may also introduce a 100 kWh battery for the long range variant.
The Honda 0 Series electric cars promise to offer the original design language showcased in their concept versions. The sleek and futuristic design of the EVs was first showcased by Honda at the CES held last year. The Honda 0 Series SUV appears to be largely based on the Space-Hub concept EV, which the carmaker introduced at the previous edition of the event. The interior of these EVs is also futuristic, yet minimalist, with most of the controls being digital. Both the EVs will be equipped with Level-3 ADAS using the carmaker's AI technology that promises to reduce traffic collision deaths in the future.
Honda has also introduced a new AI-based operating system called ASIMO in the 0 Series EV concept. ASIMO OS was first unveiled at CES two decades ago. The operating system will help control various functions inside the EV, including ADAS and infotainment systems. The operating system can also be updated via OTA on a regular basis.

The Lamborghini Lanzador Concept EV was unveiled in 2023, but the production version is now arriving a year after the initially announced date.
Lamborghini's all-electric Lanzador is touted as an extremely powerful machine with zero tailpipe emissions.
It has been known for a long time that a Lamborghini electric supercar is coming. But while the Italians had previously confirmed an unveiling in 2028, the company's top boss has now said the showcase has now been pushed back a year. The Lamborghini Lanzador Concept EV version was previously showcased in 2023 and the production version will be based on it.
The first-ever Lamborghini EV or electric vehicle is one of the most anticipated unveilings of the decade and while purists continue to argue against the idea, the march of battery-powered mobility options has included supercars as well. It was never about 'if' but 'when' and when Lamborghini confirmed plans to go electric, there was a lot of excitement in the automotive world about the decision. However according to Reuters, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann has said that unveiling plans have been moved to 2029.

Winkelmann explained that the reason for pushing back the unveiling timeline is to ensure that the market is ready for a Lamborghini EV. He reportedly said, “We don't think 2029 will be too late for electric cars. We don't think, in our segment, the market will be ready in 2025 or 2026.”
lamborghini hybrid vs electrics
Lamborghini is famous for building some of the most powerful sports cars in the world since the 1960s. But when it launched its first SUV, skeptics suspected a change in strategy. But the Lamborghini Urus has been a big hit, propelling the Italian supercar maker to record sales and profits. There is now a Lamborghini Urus Hybrid as well as a Lamborghini Temerario which is powered by a V8 twin-turbo engine with three electric motors. The Lamborghini Revuelto plug-in hybrid has also been a hot favorite since its launch in 2023.
While Lamborghini has underlined its commitment to hybrid technology, there are also plans to go fully electric. And Lanzador is a march towards this ultimate objective.
The Lamborghini Lanzadore Concept showcased last year is a grand tourer with a 2+2 seating arrangement. It has a high-power electric motor on each axle which means it will have permanent all-wheel drive. The EV will feature e-torque vectoring on the rear axle Lamborghini says the maximum power output will be over one megawatt which is around 1,340 bhp. It has also been confirmed that the Lanzador will come with Lamborghini Dinamica Veicolo Integrata (LDVI) which is essentially a driving dynamics control system. There will be multiple sensors and actuators that will be integrated into the system that ensures precise driving behavior.

The carmaker did not disclose the exact number of Taycan EVs affected by the recall at the time, but the recall affected more than 150,000 units of the EV worldwide.
