A prototype of the Honda 0 SUV made its global public debut today driven by Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen at the Red Bull Showrun x Powered by Honda event in Tokyo, Japan.* First seen at the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the all-electric SUV, part of the Honda 0 Series, is expected to begin production at the Honda EV Hub in Ohio in 2026. The Honda and Red Bull Racing partnership is set to conclude at the end of 2025 season.
“The Honda 0 SUV participated in the demonstration drive wearing a specially designed wrap featuring geometric lines and reflections of light, a visual representation of the company’s new approach to EV development – “Thin, Light, and Wise”. The all-electric SUV was showcased alongside Red Bull Racing Honda F1 machines, including the “RB16B” and an “RB7” featuring Racing Bulls’ new 2025 livery design. Also joining the street demonstration drive was the first race-winning Honda F1 car, the historic V12-powered Honda RA272, which earned victory at the 1965 Mexico Grand Prix 60 years ago, as the first race car from a Japanese automaker to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix,” Honda said.
Honda 0 SUV Prototype
The Honda 0 SUV is expected to be the first Honda 0 Series model to enter production based on the company’s newly developed dedicated EV architecture. Building on the Space-Hub concept model unveiled at CES 2024, the Honda 0 SUV applies the “Thin, Light, and Wise” approach to yield a spacious cabin with outstanding visibility and flexibility. The interior of the 0 SUV prototype illustrates the company’s direction to offer a new value for its future Honda 0 Series EVs as a “space” for people.
The so called Honda 0 SUV and Honda 0 Saloon use the “0” as a reference to emissions levels and their SAE Level 3 eyes-off autonomous driving – not as seems appropriate here at AutoInformed to the amount of styling that went into the boxes. Production models based on both prototypes will launch in North America in 2026 followed by global markets. Both will initially be built at the Honda EV Hub in Ohio.
F1 drivers Yuki Tsunoda from Red Bull Racing, and Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar from Racing Bulls also participated in the street demonstration drive event – held prior to this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix at the Suzuka Circuit. It was a promotional event celebrating the six-year collaboration between Honda and Red Bull Racing. Honda and Red Bull Racing have achieved more than 63 F1 victories, four consecutive Drivers’ World Championships for Max Verstappen (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) and two Constructors’ World Championships (2022, 2023).
