3 New Honda Cars Launching Within The Next 12 Months

GaadiWaadi -

New hybrid, ICE, and pure electric models to bring new excitement to Honda showrooms in India in the next nine months

As part of its renewed efforts to strengthen its presence in India, Honda announced last year plans to launch ten new cars by 2030. The first of these launches was the new City that arrived in showrooms last month. Within a year, Honda will launch three more of the planned ten new cars.

1. Honda ZR-V

The Honda ZR-V is the Japanese automaker’s new global compact SUV positioned between the HR-V and CR-V. It measures 4,567 mm in length, 1,840 mm in width, and 1,621 mm and has a 2,655 mm wheelbase. Honda offers the ZR-V in petrol and hybrid variants, and it is bringing the latter to India.

The ZR-V Hybrid has a 181 hp powertrain that delivers a fuel economy of 22.8 km/l. Honda will offer it with features such as an 8-way power driver seat with a memory function, a 4-way power front passenger seat, a kick-activated power tailgate, a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.2-inch HD digital instrument cluster, eight airbags, and a host of advanced driver assistance systems. The company plans to import it as a CBU from Japan and launch it in July 2026.

2. New Honda Elevate

The Honda Elevate, launched in September 2023, will likely get a facelift in the third quarter of the year. The mid-cycle refresh should bring restyled bumpers, redesigned headlamp and tail lamp graphics, new upper and lower grilles, and new 17-inch wheels. Inside, Honda could introduce new features such as front-seat ventilation, power adjustment for the driver’s seat, and a panoramic sunroof.

The Honda Elevate is unlikely to see any mechanical changes with the facelift. We expect the same 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that develops 89 kW (119 hp) and 145 Nm of torque, linked to a 6-speed MT or a CVT. Currently, this setup gives a fuel economy of 15.31 km/l and 16.92 km/l, respectively.

3. Honda 0 Alpha

The Honda 0 Alpha will be the brand’s first EV in India, and challenge the likes of Hyundai Creta Electric, Maruti e Vitara, Toyota urban Cruiser Ebella, and Mahindra BE 6. The electric mid-size SUV will debut the brand’s new design language for EVs that was earlier planned to be introduced in the Honda 0 SUV, which has now been cancelled.

Honda reportedly plans to offer the 0 Alpha with two LFP battery pack options, both of which will comprise cells imported from Indonesia. The wheelbase will be somewhere in the 2,700-2,800 mm range. The company will launch the electric mid-size SUV in the first quarter of 2027.
