The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Honda is serious about India: the production model is being built in India for export too, and public road testing across highways, city traffic, extreme heat and monsoon conditions began in March 2026
  • The design was shaped by Honda's study of Indian cities, with a low roof that keeps ground clearance, a wide stance and big rear fenders for a tough, secure presence in dense traffic
  • Distinctive EV details: a light-up front screen that blends the headlights, charging lid and illuminated emblem, U-shaped rear lighting, and a cabin Honda promises will be spacious and comfortable

Worth knowing

  • The price, battery, range and power are all unannounced: Honda India will debut the production-spec 0 Alpha on 2 December 2026, with market sales expected to begin in early 2027
  • Honda has shown only the exterior of the prototype, so the interior, features list and safety kit are still a blank
  • What you see is a prototype, so the India-spec production car may look and be equipped differently once Honda reveals it
