Honda 0 Alpha EV Design & Features: Futuristic Minimalism with Everyday Versatility
The boxy and minimalist 0 Alpha EV is a little over 4,300 mm in length, almost the same as the Elevate. The low and wide presence contributes to stability, provided further by adaptive LED headlights and an illuminated Honda emblem, as well as a hidden charging port set in the hood for added convenience.
The rear also benefits from uniquely shaped U-shaped LED taillight design, and upright windshield, along with big chunky cladding that gives it a rugged appeal.With 0.29 Cd aerodynamics and 190 mm ground clearance, it’s built for both city streets and light trails.
Inside, the cabin’s flat-floor EV layout maximizes space with limo-like rear legroom (up to 1,000 mm) and a 400+ litre boot expandable to 1,200 litres. Tech highlights include dual 12.3-inch curved displays, OTA infotainment, ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof, and a 10-speaker Bose audio system.
Honda’s ASIMO OS enables Level 2+ ADAS, AR-HUD, adaptive cruise, and transparent chassis view. With 6 airbags, V2L capability, and a 5-star Bharat NCAP target, the Alpha EV balances safety with sophistication.
