Honda Prelude Research Hub

If the name Honda Prelude makes you think of a sleek coupe with a little attitude, you are not alone. The Prelude has always been the kind of Honda people remember, and now it is on its way back with a modern twist. Honda has confirmed the Prelude is returning to the U.S. as a hybrid-electric sports coupe, which basically means you can expect a fun-to-drive vibe with the added benefit of efficiency for everyday driving.

What is exciting about the new Prelude is that it is not being positioned as “just another commuter car.” The goal is something you can drive every day without getting bored, whether you are heading across town in Ponca City, jumping on the highway, or taking the longer way home because the road is wide open. Honda has talked about using a two-motor hybrid setup and tuning the car for a sporty, grand-touring feel, which typically translates to smooth power delivery, confident handling, and a ride that still feels comfortable when you are not pushing it.

It also sounds like Honda is paying attention to the details that matter to drivers who actually enjoy driving. The brand has noted that the Prelude will be the first Honda hybrid-electric model to incorporate high-performance chassis components from the Civic Type R, which is a strong hint that it is being engineered to feel sharp and planted, not floaty or disconnected. Honda has also previewed a feature called Honda S+ Shift to make the experience feel more responsive and engaging behind the wheel.
