Japan Mobility Show 2025: Honda
- Honda will present its Series 0 prototypes, a sedan and an SUV, as its main attraction. The Honda 0 sedan is based on a structure newly created for BEVs and is intended to embody technological progress and the series' motto of “Thin, Light and Wise.” The Series 0 SUV will likely be the first vehicle in the series to reach production readiness. As a mid-size, fully electric SUV, it will be exciting to see how Honda has implemented the series motto in terms of “Thin” and “Light.” According to Honda, the interior is said to be exceptionally spacious.
- At the 2023 JMS, Honda unveiled a near-production prototype of the Honda Prelude, now in its sixth generation. The fifth generation ran from 1997 to 2002. The finished production version is now set to be presented at the 2025 JMS. The Prelude is traditionally a mid-range sports coupe. It is 4.52 meters long, 1.88 meters wide and, according to Honda, uses a hybrid drive with a two-liter gasoline engine and two electric motors. The power output is said to be 149 kW or 203 hp. Inovev forecasts a production 50.000 per year of this model.
- Honda will also unveil its Acura RSX Prototype. According to information released so far, it will be a BEV based on the Acura Performance BEV concept car, which was unveiled in 2024. Honda plans to manufacture the new Acura at its factory in Marysville, Ohio, USA, which serves as the base for Honda's BEV production, and to start sales in the second half of 2026. Inovev forecasts a production 50.000 per year of this model.
