โ๏ธThe Honda Prelude is back for 2026, but not in the way purists expected.
It debuts as a hybrid-only coupe making 200 hp and 232 lb-ft from a 2.0L engine with dual motors.
Honda borrowed the Civic Type R chassis tech, dual-axis struts, adaptive dampers, Brembo brakes, but softened it for grand touring.
The most talked-about feature is S+ Shift, a system that fakes gear changes, rev-matching, and engine blips for drama.
Underneath, thereโs no real gearbox, just direct drive to the wheels.
The design blends modern coupe proportions with a liftback profile and 19-inch wheels.
Inside, it gets a digital cluster, 9-inch touchscreen with Google Built-in, Bose audio, and premium trim.
Sales start in late 2025 in Japan, with U.S. launch soon after.
Pricing is expected around $42K, making it a stylish hybrid GT with Type R bones, but simulated thrills.
