The production version of the Honda 0 Series Saloon concept will deliver around 482bhp and a range of more than 300 miles when it arrives in 2026 - and Honda promises that it will also offer engaging driving dynamics.
The 0 Series Saloon, unveiled in January, previewed the first of seven EVs that will use an all-new platform, and Honda has now shared early details at a special preview event before it reveals a car that will be "the embodiment" of the technologies next January.
The Saloon will be offered with both rear- and fourwheel-drive powertrains, which will feature newly developed compact e-axles incorporating a smaller inverter than current Honda electric motors. These can be mounted much lower in the car as a result.
The entry-level version will have a 241bhp motor on the rear axle, while 4WD models will either feature the same motor on the front axle-giving top-end cars a system output of 482bhp or a 67bhp motor that will be shared with future hybrids.

One evening, two years ago, George Pappas was being driven down his local high street by a mate and mulling over whether to replace his Mk4 Golf diesel, a recent purchase that was boring him to death, when his girlfriend, also in the car, spotted an old BMW 3 Series at the side of the road with a 'for sale' sign in the window.
