Honda reveals a sleek new logo for its future electric and hybrid models, set to appear from 2027. Discover how the change could reshape the Civic and CR-V in Vietnam. Learn more now!
Honda announced a subtle yet symbolic shift in its brand identity as it accelerates toward a fully electrified future. Starting in 2027, the iconic handwritten “H” will be replaced by a streamlined, border‑less version on every new electric (EV) and hybrid model.
What the New Logo Looks Like
The refreshed emblem drops the traditional outline for a cleaner, more modern silhouette. Inspired by two open hands, it conveys a sense of openness and a fresh start as Honda enters a pivotal phase of its evolution.
Roll‑out Timeline
- Early 2024: Concept vehicles from the “0 Series” debut the new badge.
- 2026 (postponed): Original plan for the first production model – the 0 SUV – to launch with the new logo.
- 2027: Official introduction of the 0 SUV built in Ohio, USA, bearing the illuminated logo.
- 2027‑2031: Honda will unveil 13 next‑generation e:HEV hybrid models featuring the updated emblem.
Models Likely to Wear the New Badge
While the company has not confirmed exact details for internal‑combustion vehicles, industry insiders expect next‑generation versions of the Civic and CR‑V to adopt the new branding once they transition to hybrid or fully electric powertrains. Both models are slated for a redesign in Vietnam, meaning local buyers could see the new logo on showrooms within the next few years.
Beyond the Cars – A Brand‑wide Refresh
The updated “H” will not be limited to vehicles. Honda plans to extend it across dealer signage, marketing collateral, and even its motorsport activities, creating a cohesive visual language for the entire ecosystem.
Heritage Meets Innovation
Since its debut in 1963, the Honda “H” has undergone several tweaks—in 1969, 1981, 1991, and 2001. The 2027 redesign marks the most significant shift yet, symbolising a “re‑establishment” of the brand as it embraces electrification.
What This Means for Vietnamese Consumers
For shoppers in Vietnam, the countdown to a refreshed Civic and CR‑V is now linked with a broader narrative of sustainability and cutting‑edge design. Expect improved fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and a fresh visual identity that aligns with global trends.
Stay tuned as Honda rolls out its next‑generation models and watch the iconic “H” evolve on the road.
