Honda's first electric SUV, the 0 Alpha, set for India debut on December 2

Honda is ready to enter India's electric car market. The company's upcoming Honda 0 Alpha electric SUV is set to make its India debut on December 2, 2026. For Honda, which has focused on petrol and hybrid cars, this could be a significant step in India's electric passenger vehicle segment.

The concept of the SUV was unveiled at the Japan Mobility Show in October 2025. The car has since been spotted testing on Indian roads.

The Honda 0 Alpha is likely to be produced at the Tapukara plant in Rajasthan. Besides making the car for the domestic market, the plant will also focus on exports. The test model shows a high roof, boxy wheel arches, a closed front design and differently shaped lights. At the rear it has an upright tailgate and a large rear windscreen, which suggests that cabin space and ease of use will be given importance.

Spy shots have also given a first glimpse of the car's interior. It reportedly shows a large horizontal central touchscreen, a separate digital instrument cluster and a multifunction steering wheel. However, the company has not yet officially announced all the features of the production model.

Honda has not released any details on battery capacity, motor power, charging speed or driving range. According to some reports, the SUV may get a battery option between 65 kWh and 75 kWh and a front-wheel-drive setup. But this information has not been confirmed. The price has also not been disclosed.

After launch, the Honda 0 Alpha could compete with models such as the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, Hyundai Creta Electric, Tata Sierra EV and Mahindra BE 6. The car's price, range and features will decide its place in the market. Honda had earlier indicated that global sales would begin in 2027. Although the India debut date has emerged, it is still unclear when customers will get deliveries.
