New Honda Mid-Size SUV: Launch Timeline Revealed
Honda’s newest entry will be the 0 Alpha SUV – an electric mid-size SUV. It will be positioned alongside the Elevate in its lineup. According to the automaker, this new SUV will debut by Q3 or Q4 of the current financial year. That means we can expect it to be launched in India by early 2027.
As Honda doesn’t have any electric offering yet for the country, the 0 Alpha SUV will be the brand’s entry in a new segment. The model will likely be put against the Hyundai Creta EV, Tata Sierra EV, Mahindra BE 6, Maruti e Vitara, Toyota eBella, and others. Speaking of the price, we expect this new Honda electric to range between Rs. 17 lakh and Rs. 25 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
