Honda 0 Alpha interior spied, new dashboard design on the cards?
Honda's India-bound 0 Alpha electric SUV previews a minimalist cabin with a large touchscreen, vertical driver display, physical climate controls, redesigned steering wheel, and is scheduled for an FY27 launch.
Japanese automaker Honda was recently spotted testing its 0 Alpha electric SUV, offering a sneak peek at its interior. The production model is expected to be renamed before its debut in the Indian market. The latest spy shots reveal a completely new interior, hinting towards a change in the Japanese automaker’s interior design philosophy.
Honda 0 Alpha: New Interior Design
The cabin of the Honda 0 Alpha gets a clean layout, moving away from the more conventional designs seen in Honda's current portfolio. The dashboard of the Honda 0 Alpha is dominated by what looks to be a 14-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system. The display appears to run an all-new software interface, which is similar to Android in both its layout and graphics, suggesting a slightly more intuitive and connected user experience.

Unlike several modern EVs that integrate all major vehicle controls into the touchscreen, Honda has retained a row of physical buttons and toggle switches positioned beneath the display. These controls are expected to manage climate functions, with air flow control, temperature control and fan control switches to be provided. Additionally, the Honda 0 Alpha gets a display for the air conditioning unit, which shows the temperature and fan speed along with the direction of air flow.
Honda 0 Alpha: Infotainment System
The view of the driver when sitting in a Honda car will be completely different from the Honda 0 Alpha, with the electric SUV opting for a vertically-oriented digital display integrated into the dashboard, instead of a conventional instrument cluster, which is horizontally placed. The screen is expected to include the speedometer, tachometer, odometer and other important information, contributing to Honda’s usual minimalist take on the interiors.
The steering wheel has also been redesigned, while retaining the three-spoke design. The multifunction steering wheel boasts control buttons on both sides, but the shape of the steering wheel has now shifted to a flat-bottom one with a square-shaped horn pad.
