2026 HONDA PRELUDE HYBRID POWER, SLEEK DESIGN - WILL IT HIT THE US MARKET?

Confirmed Production

Honda has confirmed the Prelude concept will go into production, bringing back the iconic nameplate.

Hybrid Powertrain

The new Prelude will feature a hybrid powertrain with two electric motors and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder e:HEV engine, producing an estimated 207 hp.

Sleek Coupe Design

The production model will closely resemble the concept, maintaining a classic coupe design with a short rear deck, long hood, and sleek headlights.

Resurrecting a Classic

The Prelude will revive a nameplate last seen in 2001, replacing the discontinued Civic and Accord coupes in Honda's lineup.

Prelude to Electric Vehicles

Honda positions the new Prelude as a precursor to its upcoming electric vehicle lineup, indicating a strategic shift towards electrification.

Similar Size to Toyota GR86

The new Prelude will be similar in size to the Toyota GR86, slightly longer and wider, offering a 2+2 layout for four passengers.

Enhanced Power

The hybrid powertrain will provide slightly more power than the Civic and Accord hybrids, aligning with Honda's chief engineer's comments on its performance.

Potential US Market Launch

Honda is developing the Prelude in both left- and right-hand drive configurations, increasing the likelihood of a US launch, though it's not yet confirmed.

Modern Interior

While Honda has not revealed the interior, it is expected to carry over familiar Honda design cues with unique Prelude branding and special seats.

Continuously Variable Transmission

The Prelude will likely feature a continuously variable transmission, with the Civic remaining the only model offering a manual gearbox.
