So I'm looking at the latest development from Honda, the Zero Saloon and the Zero SUV
0:07
Full electric futuristic vehicles. This one, the design, ambitious. They've put an emphasis
0:14
on the sort of lightweight appearance while maintaining space on the interior
0:21
You're in the future, man. Sunset gradient turn signal. Mo, show the people. Look at this
0:28
damn the honda zero saloon is going to be the flagship this is the model that represents this
0:36
new identity if you look at the design of this thing what you're going to see is straight walls
0:41
on either side the doors and the glass rather than what they typically do sort of curving inward
0:47
they follow this straight line and what that means for you is that even though you have what looks
0:52
like a slim or thin profile, which is also incredibly low, you're actually getting more
0:58
space or at least a feeling of space on the inside because of this particular design decision
1:03
It has a retro feeling to it while still feeling new. And speaking on that retro aspect, if we come
1:09
around back, this has to be one of the craziest areas. This rear taillight, which also acts as
1:16
signal indicator and really for me sends a signal about where Honda is going and their willingness
1:23
to embrace this new technology. For me, this reminds me of retro gadgets, but at the same time
1:30
it's not one of those mirrors. Each of these light strips can operate independently and the startup
1:35
sequence actually showcases that and then the Honda badge pop up last as part of that sequence
1:42
Some other design decisions since we're back here already, you can see we have this unusual pattern
1:46
It has a forged look. When you look at the inside from the top, I mean, it's dominated by this massive glass panel
1:53
And that again, brings you back to this sort of airy experience
1:57
The floor, they've managed to get it extremely low and flat when you're inside
2:01
So even if you're in the rear seat, you feel like you've got tremendous amount of leg room
2:05
They have a steering yoke on the inside and that's because of their target here
2:10
for level three self-driving, eyes off the road self-driving. You also probably noticed that the doors
2:16
don't have handles, they're meant to be automated. And this is extremely early at the moment
2:22
but this vehicle is supposed to sense your presence through facial recognition
2:27
and actually unlock the car because of it. It's got a LiDAR sensor integrated in the top
2:32
One of the more elegant integrations that I've seen, some of them tend to look bulbous
2:37
This one sort of follows the line of the vehicle. And that LiDAR is one of the core sensors
2:42
when it comes to that self-driving capability and obviously recognition of not just other cars, pedestrians, objects, animals
2:50
The headlights have a motorized cover when you lock the car and walk away
2:54
And then when you approach it and it senses your presence, then those will lift up. We have this grille on the bottom, which also is lit
3:00
The wheel selection again futuristic obviously some sort of efficiency component as well because they flat and covered This one has no side mirrors just cameras Now
3:10
the eventual model may need to have side mirrors for the moment though. That's a pretty cool look
3:16
Look at this. Is this the world's coolest turn signal? Damn, and the depth, like this 3D effect
3:25
that it has, it might be the coolest aspect of the car. At first it's a little shocking, right
3:29
you see it and you're like, that is really different. But then it becomes distinctive
3:33
Like it grows on you as you look at it. I should also mention, I can't open this trunk right now
3:38
but it will be a functioning trunk, obviously, when the vehicle is ready. This is the Honda Zero
3:42
SUV. Obviously here, we have a familiar SUV stance with some of the same design language
3:48
and styling from the saloon. Straight line, maximizing glass, headroom, and the feeling
3:54
of lightness and space on the interior. This one sort of has door handles. These are touch sensitive
4:00
but then the door is operated via a motor. Now, in this case, we have sort of a more rugged look
4:05
that you would associate with an SUV. We have a slightly more blunt front end. I mean, it still
4:10
looks futuristic. We've got this black and white contrast going on, including our integrated
4:15
headlights and still that new Honda emblem on the front. And the rear is all about maximizing
4:20
volume and cargo as well as headroom in the back seat. Here you can see the trunk opening up
4:26
Obviously plenty of cargo here. We're probably going to have folding seats but one of the
4:30
surprising things, something I haven't seen before, is these tables that fold down. A little bit of
4:35
extra storage but also for organization. If you're tailgating, camping, barbecuing, if you want to put
4:40
your drinks there. They're on both sides as well. Flip those down. It's a unique idea. It's important
4:45
to note that these vehicles aren't completely final. They're closer than a concept but some
4:49
things are subject to change prior to production. I should also mention at this point both of the
4:54
new vehicles have a target of 300 miles of range. So now we can get a better look at the interior
4:58
here on the Zero SUV. You can see you've got your steering yoke. They have maintained a signal
5:04
indicator and a drive selector beside the steering yoke. The dash is dominated by this large display
5:10
which sort of flows through the center and then our cameras that are being used for side mirrors
5:15
So this is your cockpit. Obviously when you switch to a steering yoke you're going to get this
5:18
feeling of space and visibility where you would normally have your steering wheel and with such
5:23
an emphasis on self-driving and the move towards self-driving the concept here is that the benefits
5:29
outweigh the drawbacks of shifting to yoke style steering some of this may change on the interior
5:34
final product but you can see we have wireless charging here at the moment this model is not
5:38
equipped with a passenger display whereas on the zero saloon it is which i'll show you in a moment
5:43
We have video for our rear view mirror, and that's going to be the same on the two vehicles
5:49
Now, the front is impressive. It's comfortable, but it's more impressive in the back
5:53
As you'll see here, I've got like I'm six feet tall and I have a lot of headroom here
5:59
Huge piece of glass. The windshield meets this center joint, and then it's basically glass the entire way back
6:05
Obviously our window is glass and we have this secondary small glass window here But as you can see I have that this was my driving position fairly far back And I still having the feeling of tremendous space here
6:17
Yeah, the carpets are unusual, actually. There's a kind of abstract pattern there
6:22
And the floors are actually fairly flat. We do have a slight hump here
6:26
You're going to see when we get into the Xero saloon that it's completely dead flat
6:34
I think we can go to the saloon. So the doors here are also motorized and the idea with the vehicle being intelligent and the vehicle
6:43
being wise enough to actually interpret the individual that approaches it via facial
6:48
recognition to then not only unlock the car but actually open the car door as well. This
6:53
is the idea. The other thing that it does when this door opens, the steering yoke spins in a
6:58
completely upside down fashion to provide you with greater amount of room for entry and exit
7:04
into the vehicle. So you can see as this door closes, the steering yoke spins and my seat moves
7:11
forward into my driving position, which again, I would be recognized as a unique individual
7:18
And this setting would then be tuned for myself without a special input from a key or an app
7:23
but instead via facial recognition. So this display takes things a little bit further than
7:28
on the SUV because now we've also got a display here for the passenger. So it flows the entirety
7:33
of the dash and each of the two side mirror cameras are angled even a little bit more towards
7:40
the driver. Now we've still got our drive selector, same for our signal indicator. Now the feeling of
7:46
space in here is just massive. Honestly, it's not just a thing about glass, like they've lowered the
7:51
floor here. It just feels bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. I think that was
7:55
what they were hoping to achieve and that's definitely the case. Now back here, this feels
7:59
like a living room of a four seat configuration is tremendous comfort obviously for four passengers
8:04
this flat and low floor gives a sense of space almost like domestic comfort you know almost like
8:13
a room a little more than a vehicle it's just a huge amount of flat carpeted space the seating
8:19
curls around you they've got speakers integrated as well for more immersion and a massive piece of
8:25
glass, which you can appreciate even more from the rear than you can from the front, as well as that
8:31
ambient lighting that flows around the entire perimeter of that piece of glass and just how
8:37
much ambient light we have. We've got a strip that travels around the entirety of the interior
8:42
just below the windows, this glass panel, footwell lighting, which also matches through this acrylic
8:48
piece also in this strip and in a strip in the rear there. Tons of different areas that you notice
8:54
that they've implemented this ambient lighting. And part of it is how they're thinking about moods
8:59
The driving modes will not just manipulate the lighting, but they'll manipulate the sound, the fan speed and the driving dynamics
9:06
So you can see the awaken setting is currently as part of the preset
9:10
It the economy driving mode whereas if I switch to exhilarate it going to put it into a sports driving mode It going to change the amount of bass that I hearing Of course you going to be able to edit these but these settings are all about creating a particular mood But in the long term
9:24
through the facial recognition, getting to know the individual that drives most frequently and
9:28
what their settings normally are, it's going to be able to do a lot of this automatically. That's
9:33
the goal. If I select exhilarate, we get different sound settings, as you can see. So I can switch
9:42
then to awaken, for example. This is going to change my lighting effects all over the place
9:47
saying goes for unwind. And then if I switch to a parking mode like serene, this will actually
9:53
change the positioning of my chair and it will spin that steering yoke back around knowing that
9:59
I'm in a parked position and maybe I want to work on my laptop. Maybe I just want to relax
10:04
This serene setting actually vibrates my seat a little bit in a subtle way. So when you select
10:10
one of the modes and it switches is the best. Yeah. Select it. It's crazy. That's one of the
10:18
better ambient setups that I've seen. I've seen the wildest ambient setups and they went for it
10:24
gear. It really comes down to the volume and the amount of lighting that you can fit. The lighting
10:30
under the acrylic armrest for the driver, it is also dynamic. You see what I'm saying? Now switch
10:37
to another one, switch to awaken. So this is a little bit brighter. This is to wake you up. Try
10:45
Try unwind. Orange is interesting
10:54
It's vibes in here, man. You're just back here. You're being nestled by these
10:59
Yeah, you're just back here. You're in the future, man. So you just imagine you come in here
11:04
you're in a bad mood, had an argument. You just click that serene button, lean back, relax
11:10
Let it melt away. Try meditation, let's see what it does. meditation mode takes us somewhere above the Earth's atmosphere into space where we can
11:19
recognize how small our problems actually are relative to the scope of the universe
11:25
So what do we have here? We have a brand new direction for Honda. We have fully electric
11:32
Honda vehicles that look futuristic, that manage to look light from the outside with space on the
11:38
inside. We have two to choose from. The SUV will actually launch first. This will be the beginning
11:45
of 2026. This will be some later point in 2026. Self-driving functionality level three, eyes off
11:52
the road, relaxation, LiDAR to pick up your obstacles. I'm extremely excited about more
11:58
players in the EV space. To have a storied brand like Honda present these ambitious options
12:04
is something I'm looking forward to
