With the announcement of the “0 Series,” Honda is taking steps beyond the Honda Prologue to enhance its electric vehicle lineup. As a trusted Honda dealership in Toronto, we’re thrilled to share all our knowledge about these groundbreaking models that are poised to redefine what a Honda can be. While we can’t offer a test drive of these prototypes just yet, you can still experience what Honda is doing with EV cars and SUVs by booking a test drive of the latest Prologue. Let’s explore what makes the Honda 0 Saloon and Honda 0 SUV truly exceptional. Honda 0 Series: What Is It? The Honda 0 Series embodies Honda's vision for a new era of mobility. Unveiled at CES 2024, these vehicles are not merely electrified iterations of existing models; they are entirely new designs crafted around Honda's "Thin, Light, and Wise" philosophy. The designation "0 Series" signifies Honda's aspiration to begin from scratch and reinvent the automobile for a sustainable future. Innovation and Elegance Combined The Honda 0 Saloon (also known as the Space-Hub concept in certain markets) represents Honda’s vision for the electric sedan of the future. But what sets it apart? Head Turning Design The 0 Saloon boasts a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette with a low-slung profile that clearly conveys its electric essence. The front end is adorned with a distinctive light bar stretching across the vehicle's width, forming a futuristic signature lighting element that's unmistakable both day and night. Inside, the cabin embraces minimalism, offering a spacious, lounge-like atmosphere. Technology That Works For You The 0 Series will introduce several technological innovations including: A new human-machine interface with an intuitive control system that minimizes distractions Advanced driver assistance systems that represent Honda's next step toward autonomous driving Over-the-air updates that will keep your vehicle improving long after you drive it off our lot Performing Well On Canadian Roads While Honda hasn't released the full performance specifications yet, they've promised: A targeted range of over 400 kilometres on a single charge – plenty for trips from Toronto to cottage country and back A fast-charging capability that can add 300 kilometres of range in just 15 minutes Advanced all-wheel drive that will handle Ontario's snowy winters with confidence Designed with a Practical Purpose The 0 SUV upholds Honda's dedication to functionality while adopting a daring new design language. Its elevated stance delivers the commanding view of the road that SUV drivers appreciate, while its roomy interior provides adaptable seating and cargo arrangements. The wide-opening doors and lack of a traditional B-pillar offer an inviting entry to the cabin—ideal for families loading children or for weekend adventurers packing gear for a trip to the Muskokas. Capability for Ontario Lifestyles Honda understands what Canadians need from their SUVs. The 0 Series is being developed with: Robust battery performance even in extreme cold weather Impressive towing capacity (a first for Honda's electric lineup) Software-controlled adaptive suspension for comfort on Toronto's sometimes challenging roads Sustainability Beyond the Drivetrain Honda's commitment to sustainability extends beyond just eliminating tailpipe emissions. Both 0 Series vehicles will feature: Interior materials made from recycled and bio-based sources Manufacturing processes designed to reduce carbon footprint Batteries designed for second-life applications and efficient recycling When Will They Be Available In Toronto? Honda intends to launch global sales of the 0 Series models in early 2026, with availability in North America anticipated soon thereafter. Although exact Canadian pricing is not yet available, Honda is dedicated to making electric vehicles accessible to a broader range of customers. Why Should Toronto Drivers Care? As Toronto continues to enhance its charging infrastructure and more residents aim to lessen their environmental footprint, the timing of Honda's 0 Series couldn't be more ideal. The blend of practical range, rapid charging, and winter-ready performance effectively addresses the specific concerns many Torontonians have regarding the transition to electric vehicles.
