Honda 0 Series Alpha: Launch, price and rivals

Honda will launch the 0 Series Alpha in the Indian market by 2027. It is expected to be priced upwards of ₹20 lakh. This means that it will be going against the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE 6, Tata Curvv EV and MG ZS EV.

Honda 0 Series Alpha will be based on an all-new dedicated EV platform.

Locally produced

Honda will produce the 0 Series Alpha locally in India. This will help them in pricing the electric vehicle in a competitive manner. This also hints at the manufacturer’s longer-term commitment to the electric vehicle (EV) market here.

Notably, this made-in-India model will also be exported to Japan — a move that underscores the confidence placed in India’s manufacturing standards. It is important to note that Honda is already exporting Elevate from India to Japan. Moreover, local production enables easier access to spare parts and better tailoring of the vehicle to Indian driving and usage conditions.

Designed from the ground up

Unlike many vehicles that convert from an internal combustion engine (ICE) platform to electric drive, the 0 Alpha is built on a dedicated EV platform. This means fewer compromises in packaging, performance, and usability. While its overall footprint will be similar to the Elevate’s (since it will compete in the same segment), the 0 Alpha benefits from a longer wheelbase, a wider track and a fully flat floor. Combined with the advantages that EV architectures bring in terms of space efficiency, the result should be one of the most spacious SUVs in its class in India.

Honda hasn’t confirmed battery size or chemistry yet, but they’ve emphasised that the focus is on real-world usability and ownership experience rather than just achieving the longest possible range.
