The Japanese Manufacturer Launched A Line Of Autonomous Electric Mowers With Prices Exceeding R$ 170 Thousand, Targeting The Professional Landscaping Market In The United States. The Equipment Features LiDAR Sensors, Radar, And Independent Operation With Up To 4.3 Hours Of Autonomy.
Honda has expanded its presence in the electric equipment sector by introducing the ProZision line, composed of autonomous lawn mowers that rival the price of vehicles from its own brand. The models, designed for intensive commercial use, reach the North American market with prices starting at US$ 32,999, equivalent to approximately R$ 170 thousand.
The equipment represents a higher investment than necessary to acquire a new Honda Civic. The LX version of the sedan costs US$ 24,250 in the North American market.
The new line will be officially presented at the Equip Exposition 2025, a specialized fair held in Louisville, Kentucky, according to information disclosed by the company. The two models will make their world debut between October 21 and 24, 2025, with sales expected before the end of 2026.

Cutting-Edge Technology Applied To Landscaping
The electric lawn mowers from the ProZision line were developed at the Honda factory located in Swepsonville, North Carolina. The equipment features a fully electric propulsion system operating at 48 volts, eliminating direct emissions during use.
The ProZision Autonomous model operates autonomously by memorizing and accurately following pre-defined cutting routes set by the operator, using GNSS satellite navigation to recognize its exact location. During operation, radar and LiDAR sensors provide 360-degree detection, allowing it to identify changes in terrain and obstacles.
The learning phase of the system requires initial human intervention. The seat is only necessary during this stage, when the operator teaches the mower to navigate paths and cutting patterns that will be recorded via satellite navigation. Subsequently, a dedicated app allows selection of routes and settings for completely autonomous operation.
Non-autonomous models also integrate advanced features. The equipment includes a touchscreen, adjustable seat, and MicroCut cutting system with three blades, surpassing the two traditionally used in tractors of this category. This technology provides a larger cutting area and improved precision, although it raises maintenance costs.
High Autonomy And Extended Recharge
The capacity of the batteries is impressive in terms of autonomy numbers. The models can cut up to 15 acres — equivalent to more than 60,000 square meters — on a single charge, operating for up to 4.3 hours depending on usage conditions.
Recharge time varies significantly depending on the available voltage. At 120V outlets, the process takes 16.5 hours, while 240V systems reduce this period to 6.5 hours. The difference in charging time can directly impact productivity in commercial operations.
Available Versions And Target Audience
The initial line comprises three distinct models. The HZ54SXB has a 54-inch cutting width with 19-inch blades, while the HZ60SXB offers 60 inches with 21-inch blades. Both cost US$ 32,999 and feature side discharge.
The autonomous model HZA60RXB maintains the same 60-inch cutting width but incorporates rear discharge. The price of this version has not been disclosed by the manufacturer but should significantly exceed the conventional models due to the independent operation technology.
The focus of the equipment is not on the average residential user, but rather on landscaping professionals, companies that need efficiency in large areas and face challenges such as an aging workforce and a shortage of skilled labor.
Warranty And Sustainability Context
The equipment comes with a three-year warranty or 2,000 hours of commercial use, offering extended coverage for intensive professional operations.
Honda develops technologies to improve the quality of work and daily life through technological innovation while expanding its line of electrified products toward carbon neutrality by 2050.
Minoru Kato, general manager of Honda’s motorcycle and power products operations, contextualized the launch. The equipment aims to alleviate heavy work and optimize landscaping operations, reducing physical effort and increasing productivity for gardening companies.
Investment Restricted To The Professional Sector
The prices deter residential consumers. For comparison, conventional Honda lawn mowers for home use cost around R$ 5,590 in Brazil, representing a tiny fraction of the investment required for the ProZision models.
The equipment is specifically aimed at the professional landscaping sector, companies maintaining large areas, clubs, sports fields, and mansion owners who need to regularly cut extensive areas — and prefer to automate this task.
Honda’s strategy demonstrates a bet on premium technology for specific niches of the professional market, where reducing operational costs and labor can justify the high initial investment over time.
Do you think it is worth investing over R$ 170 thousand in a lawn mower, even if autonomous, when that amount could buy a complete vehicle? Does the technology justify the price or is it just an unnecessary luxury? Leave your opinion in the comments.
