According to overseas ** reports, Honda today unveiled two electric concept cars with a sci-fi style - Space-Hub and Saloon at the CES show. Honda says the cars are part of the brand's next-generation electric model, the Honda Zero, which is expected to hit the North American market in 2026.
The Saloon Concept is a low, wide electric sedan with a spacious interior and excellent driving visibility. It also has a steering joystick, as well as "posture control," which sounds like some kind of seat that can control some in-car functions through posture. The sedan will also introduce a new steer-by-wire system, as well as what Honda officially calls "motion control management."
It is worth mentioning that the high-density battery of this sedan is also able to minimize battery degradation. Honda claims that after 10 years, its performance will only drop by a maximum of 10%. In addition, the car's fast charging is said to be excellent, with an estimated charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 10 to 15 minutes.
The design language of the van-style space-hub concept is "space center", which means connecting passengers to the outside world. Its wide, transparent roof offers stunning views of the night sky, and according to **, the car is equipped with seats that allow passengers to sit face-to-face. Unlike the Saloon, Honda did not mention whether the Space-Hub concept is planned to go into production.
When Honda's next-generation electric vehicles reach mass production, they will carry a new "H" logo, which represents a major transformation for the company. Honda said that the upcoming Zero series of electric vehicles will not only feature cutting-edge design and electrical systems, but will also introduce more advanced driver assistance technologies, which the company expects to be carried in more affordable and higher-selling electric vehicles. Allegedly, driver assistance systems will use AI and other technologies to provide "closer to human" behavior. Honda says the system will also offer some hands-free self-driving modes.
