Upcoming Honda Cars – 0 Alpha

This is Honda’s first attempt at an EV for India. Expected around 2027, priced somewhere between ₹22 to ₹28 lakh. They’re calling it the “0 Series”, focused on a thin, light, and smart design philosophy. We can expect a battery pack with a capacity between 60 and 75 kWh. It would be built at their Tapukara plant, which matters because local manufacturing usually helps keep pricing under control.

Expected by late 2026. This one would be placed above the Elevate and runs Honda’s e: HEV hybrid setup, producing around 180-184 bhp from a 2.0L engine. You also get four drive modes, Google Assistant integration, premium leather interiors, and all the premiumness that Honda has to offer. It is coming as a CBU import, so it could be priced in the ₹55-₹65 lakh range.

The City needs a much-needed update. A facelift is expected in late 2026. A new grille, updated bumper design, new alloys, and some minor cabin tweaks could be expected. The 1.5L petrol and the hybrid would continue. Pricing should stay between ₹14 lakh and ₹23 lakh (on-road in Mumbai), depending on the variant.

It also gets the ‘S+ Shift’, which simulates an 8-speed gearbox, and the Paddle shifters double as regen controls. At ₹85 to ₹95 lakh via CBU, this comes as a very premium product from Honda’s style.

Upcoming Honda Cars – Sub-4-Metre SUV

This is the one that really matters for Honda. Expected in 2027, it will go directly against the Nexon, Brezza, and XUV 3XO. The engine option would likely include a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder i-VTEC petrol engine producing 90 PS and 110 Nm of torque. It is available with a 5-speed manual or a 7-speed CVT automatic transmission. Pricing could be between ₹10 to ₹17 lakh. If Honda proves in its space, build quality, a possible hybrid option, and strong connected tech, this could genuinely shake up the segment.
