2026 plans
This year, Honda has made aggressive expansion plans for the Indian market with a clear shift towards premiumization. As part of its broader roadmap to introduce 10 new cars by 2030, Honda will start introducing several new models from 2026. The focus will be not only on mass-market products but also on premium, halo offerings brought in through the CBU route.
Major launches expected this year include the Honda Prelude hybrid sports coupe in the first half of 2026, followed by the ZR-V hybrid later in the year. These models will help elevate Honda’s brand positioning in India, targeting buyers seeking exclusivity, advanced hybrid technology and a more aspirational ownership experience.
