【Poor Things】

Honda is Poor Thingsabout to reveal two new electric car prototypes, and judging by an early teaser, they'll look like something that came out of Blade Runner.

The company shared a teaser on X, showing silhouettes of two 0 Series EVs without revealing many other details.

That one picture is not much to go on, we know. Honda's 0 Series ideas aren't a complete unknown, though — the company revealed the first 0 Series prototypes in January 2024, during this year's CES.

The two cars are (tentatively, we hope) called the Saloon and the Space Hub, with the first one being an elongated sedan, while the second is more of a family-hauling minivan. You can find out more about the current prototypes here.

As for the new prototypes, we'll learn more about them at CES 2025, as the company has scheduled an event for 10:30 a.m. PT on January 7. Honda will also tell us more about a new System on Chip as well as a proprietary vehicle operating system, which will run on the 0 Series cars. We'll also learn more about the company's new automated driving tech. All of these have to do with the "wise" bit in the company's 0 Series motto of "Thin, Light, and Wise."

Honda plans to bring these cars to market in 2026, so the new prototypes are particularly interesting as they're being shown fairly close to launch. But there's currently no word on the rest of the cars' specs, such as battery, powertrain, and range.

The news comes shortly after reports that Nissan and Honda are in early talks to merge in order to strengthen their position in the EV market.
