The Honda Prelude Is Back

The Wait Is Over

There has been a growing buzz about the return of the Honda Prelude, and not just among die-hard enthusiasts. The car has always carried a certain freedom for its owners—stylish, accessible, and spirited—and its revival has both nostalgic fans and a new generation eager to experience that same blend of responsive handling and grand touring fun. The all-new Prelude is designed to deliver exactly that: a sophisticated sports coupe that advances Honda’s “joy of driving” philosophy while staying attainable.

Even more, this marks the first model to pair Honda’s award-winning two-motor hybrid-electric powertrain with the high-performance chassis hardware of the iconic Civic Type R. The result? A future-facing grand tourer with the heart of a driver’s car.

“We are thrilled to be bringing back such an iconic nameplate to the Honda lineup,” said Jessika Laudermilk, assistant vice president of Honda National Auto Sales. “The Prelude’s return demonstrates our commitment to exciting, fun-to-drive vehicles and will help to accelerate our hybrid-electric sales in the years ahead.”

Sophisticated, Yet Muscular Design

A New Era for the Prelude

One glance at the Prelude’s form makes it clear: Honda hasn’t just resurrected a name, it has reimagined a coupe for modern drivers. With its low, sharp nose, wide stance, and sleek silhouette, the Prelude blends aerodynamics and elegance. A large front under spoiler and a flat liftgate surface work together to balance downforce at high speeds, giving the car both stability and presence.

Inside, Honda has struck a balance between athleticism and refinement. Leather-trimmed sport seats with a perforated houndstooth pattern and integrated head restraints add a retro nod wrapped in modern comfort, while three-way heating keeps the drive cozy. A leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel with alloy paddles, sport pedals, and a 10.2-inch digital cluster put performance cues at your fingertips.

The Prelude arrives with a suite of connectivity and entertainment features that rival those of any segment. A 9-inch HD touchscreen with Google built in is the hub, supported by wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto™. Add WiFi hotspot capability, a wireless phone charger, and an 8-speaker Bose Centerpoint premium sound system, and the Prelude transforms every ride into an experience.

Honda’s new S+ Shift system unlocks the performance potential of its hybrid-electric setup, allowing drivers to tailor the experience with four distinct drive modes: Comfort, GT, Sport, and Individual. With its 19-inch machine-finished Berlina Black wheels, the Prelude looks planted and ready—no matter which mode you’re in.
