Honda 0 Alpha EV: The Creta EV Rival Coming to India in 2027
Honda 0 Alpha EV is coming to India in 2027 as a futuristic electric SUV positioned against the Hyundai Creta EV and Tata Curvv EV. With a sleek “Thin, Light, and Wise” design, illuminated fascia, and over 500 km range, it will be Honda’s most advanced EV yet, expected to cost between ₹25–30 lakh.
Honda has revealed its next big step into the electric future with the Honda 0 Alpha EV. Showcased at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, this futuristic SUV marks the brand’s entry into the new Honda 0 Series. The Alpha joins the previously revealed Honda 0 Saloon and 0 SUV, but it’s the most India-focused model yet.
Design and Styling
The Honda 0 Alpha stands out with its minimalist yet futuristic styling. Built under Honda’s “Thin, Light, and Wise” design philosophy, the Alpha combines urban practicality with a rugged SUV stance. It features a sleek, low-slung profile, bold wheel arches, and a distinctive U-shaped LED light bar that stretches across the tailgate. The illuminated Honda logo and a unified front fascia give it a clean and high-tech appearance.
Honda’s attention to aerodynamics is evident in the smooth surfacing, dual-tone alloy wheels, and sculpted bumpers. Despite its futuristic lines, the 0 Alpha retains good ground clearance, making it suitable for Indian roads.
Battery, Range, and Powertrain
While Honda hasn’t revealed the exact specifications, the 0 Alpha is expected to come with multiple battery pack options between 65kWh and 75kWh. The range could exceed 500 km on a single charge. It will initially be offered with a single motor and front-wheel drive setup, though an all-wheel-drive version could follow later.
India Launch and Pricing
Honda has confirmed that the 0 Alpha EV will go on sale globally by 2027, with Japan and India among its first markets. Interestingly, India will also serve as a production hub for both domestic sales and exports. The electric SUV is expected to be priced between ₹25 lakh and ₹30 lakh (ex-showroom).
Rivals in the Segment
Once launched, the Honda 0 Alpha will compete with the Hyundai Creta EV, Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra BE 6, MG ZS EV, and the upcoming Maruti eVitara. With its futuristic design and premium positioning, it’s clear that Honda wants to make a strong statement in the growing mid-size EV market.
Conclusion
The Honda 0 Alpha EV is not just another electric SUV; it’s Honda’s vision of the future. With its sleek design, advanced technology, and focus on practicality, the 0 Alpha could pose a serious challenge to the Creta EV and others when it arrives in India in 2027.
