Honda 0 Series Alpha concept based electric SUV is set to arrive in India and Japan by 2027 while more new products are also waiting in the pipeline
Recently, we told you that Honda’s 0 Series Alpha, a midsize electric SUV, is officially heading to India and Japan by 2027. It will serve as the cornerstone of Honda’s next generation lineup in its global electrification strategy and indicate a renewed focus on key growth markets including India. At the Japan Mobility Show 2025, Honda Motor Co’s Director, President and Representative Executive Officer, Toshihiro Mibe, outlined the company’s long term direction.
He confirmed that India will be central to Honda’s next phase of expansion alongside Japan and North America. He candidly noted that Honda aims to “push more effort into the Indian market than ever before,” acknowledging India’s strategic importance amid rising competition from Chinese automakers worldwide.
The 0 Series Alpha – previewed at the show – comes with Honda’s minimalist yet futuristic design philosophy. It’s expected to offer a claimed driving range of more than 500 km between charges alongside providing advanced software integration and global-grade build quality. Importantly, the model will be manufactured in India, serving both domestic demand and export markets, turning India into a global production base for Honda’s electric portfolio.
As for styling, the Alpha may carry forward certain proportions reminiscent of the Elevate but underneath, it is an entirely new dedicated EV platform, not a converted ICE structure. It will be a clean-sheet modular architecture optimised for electric vehicles. Honda’s current Indian range – Amaze, City, and Elevate – has somewhat held steady but needs rejuvenation.
Recognising this, Honda has charted out an aggressive plan to introduce 10 all-new models by 2030 including seven SUVs. The upcoming range will likely include a compact SUV likely derived from the Amaze or City platform, several hybrids and international models adapted for Indian conditions. Instead of betting exclusively on battery EVs, the company is investing across multiple fronts including hybrids.
The brand has missed a few early opportunities in India’s fast-growing SUV and EV space, arriving later than rivals in some segments. But the 0 Series Alpha could mark a fresh start while the next-gen City, a three-row midsize ICE SUV and perhaps Elevate hybrid too could arrive in the coming years.
