2026 Honda Prelude Model Review with Prices, Photos, & Specs
About the Honda Prelude
Undoubtedly one of the most cherished and exciting names in the history of the Honda brand is making its highly anticipated return for the 2026 model year. Now entering its sixth generation following over 20 years of absence from the lineup, the iconic Honda Prelude is back and better than ever before. This striking sports coupe was first launched back in 1978, creating a cult-following thanks to its unique blend of style and performance. The next generation of Honda enthusiasts can now experience the Prelude along with its advanced hybrid powertrain. It’s an essential contributor to the Honda brand’s global commitment to building 100% battery-electric and fuel-cell electric vehicle sales by the year 2040.
“The return of the Honda Prelude as a hybrid-electric sports model demonstrates our continued commitment to offer a variety of exhilarating products to meet the needs of our customers,” said Jessika Laudermilk, assistant vice president of Honda Auto Sales. “The first three products in the Honda lineup in the 1970s were Civic, Accord and Prelude, and soon all three will be back together again in our passenger car lineup as hybrids.”
Honda Prelude Features
Hybrid-Electric Performance
Regularly regarded as one of the most decorated and coveted sports coupes ever built by Honda, the exhilarating Prelude enters its next generation with an advanced hybrid-electric powertrain featuring a blend of thrilling performance and impressive efficiency. Another achievement of the latest-gen Prelude is its remarkable Honda S+ Shift, a cutting-edge drive mode featuring Linear Shift Control for superior responsiveness and engagement behind the wheel. The advanced dual-motor hybrid powertrain of the Prelude is engineered with over 20 years of real-world and internal development, providing reliable and efficient power delivery at all speeds.
Race-Inspired Styling
In keeping with tradition, the latest Honda Prelude reflects a youthful attitude that’s a perfect complement to its exhilarating performance capabilities. When it first arrived on the scene back in 1978, the Prelude made it quite apparent that it was far from your ordinary sports coupe. Now in its sixth generation, the Prelude retains these characteristics as demonstrated by its slim LED headlights, lower mesh front splitter, stylish alloy wheels, and vibrant exterior paint choices. A widened rear track combined with a lowered center of gravity results in fun-to-drive athleticism and agile handling qualities.
