The upcoming Japan Mobility Show 2025 is shaping up to be a big one for Honda. The brand has confirmed that it will showcase as many as five new models at the event, which opens its doors to the public from October 31 to November 9, with media previews scheduled for October 29 and 30. Staying true to its theme of “The Power of Dreams”, Honda says its pavilion will span everything from cars and motorcycles to aviation and marine innovations.
The headliner at Honda’s stand will undoubtedly be the prototype of a new compact EV, engineered to deliver “outstanding usability and the joy of driving.” This yet-unnamed model is already in advanced testing stages, with prototypes spotted undergoing road trials in Japan, the UK and other Asian markets. Interestingly, this car could be the very same camouflaged Super EV prototype that was seen tackling the hill climb at the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this year.
That’s not the only small EV Honda has lined up. The compact EV will be joined by the recently launched N-One e:, the all-electric kei car that carries forward the quirky character of the standard N-One which is a popular model in Japan. Additionally, Honda tuner Mugen will also display its own version of the N-One e: fitted with a range of optional styling and performance parts.
As far as SUVs go, Honda will showcase the latest gen CR-V e:HEV prototype, previewing the hybrid SUV’s imminent Japan launch. Alongside it will sit the hydrogen-powered CR-V e:FCEV, underscoring Honda’s multi-pathway approach to electrification.
Apart from these, Honda will also have the Japan debut of the 0 Series SUV and 0 Series sedan prototypes, offering a glimpse into Honda’s next-generation EV strategy. There's also an all-new 0 series SUV expected to debut in concept form according to the teaser below.
Rounding things off will be the striking Acura RSX Prototype, a fully electric SUV that will make an appearance in a fresh new paint shade. Positioned under Honda’s premium brand, the RSX is aimed squarely at buyers seeking both performance and luxury in their EVs.
While the line-up looks promising for global markets, the chances of these models making it to India are slim. Honda, however, is working on its first India-specific EV, codenamed ACE (Asian Compact EV), based on the Elevate SUV and due by 2026.
With a mix of production models, prototypes and futuristic concepts, Honda’s showcase at Tokyo is set to be one of its most diverse yet.
