The Space-Hub: Honda’s second EV concept under the new ‘0’ Series is the Space-Hub van. This all-electric van is designed to enhance the experience of passengers travelling in the rear. It also promotes conversations among passengers.

Design Principles: The Space-Hub is designed under the same principles as the 0 Series Saloon. This ensures consistency in design and functionality across the series.

Fascinating Fascia: The fascia of the Space-Hub gets a similar digital panel as the 0 Series Saloon. It features concentric light rings along the edges adding a 3D effect and the new Honda ‘H’ logo in the centre.

Headlights and Windshield: The twin-stacked headlights are integrated into the grille. The windshield emerges from the upper edge of the grille and flows into a panoramic glass roof that sits over the passenger cell.

Side and Rear Design: Down the sides, the concept features a slab-sided look with gentle flares over the wheel arches. The rear doors slide open in typical van fashion. The rear features a unique box-like design with the taillights running along its edges and an illuminated Honda badge sitting in the centre.

Cabin Comfort: The front section of the cabin features seating for two separated by a floating centre console. The yoke-steering seems to be the centre for all drive-related functions with the gear selector incorporated as touch-sensitive buttons on the lower edge.

Innovative Dashboard: The dash itself looks to be one giant display providing all relevant vehicle and infotainment information to the occupants. The lack of pedals suggests that the steering also functions as the accelerator and brakes for the vehicle.

Rear Seating: The rear section features seating for four. The seats are designed in sets of two with one sitting behind the driver and co-driver facing the rear and the second located in the rear section.

Display Technologies: The highlight of the space is the use of display technologies in the rear section of the cabin. The section behind the C-pillar lacks any visible glasshouse from the exterior though the interior can be programmed to display the surroundings like a virtual window. As with the 0 Series Saloon concept, Honda has not revealed any powertrain details for the concept. The company has also yet to confirm if the van could preview a future production model.
