Up Close and Personal with the 2026 Honda Prelude Hybrid
The Honda Prelude, an innovative grand touring hybrid coupe only Honda could have imagined. Prelude’s planted, modern style is dazzling at first glance, but look closer and nearly every detail tells a story. Daytime running lights recall the outstretched wings of a glider. A streamlined body with flush door handles helps air efficiently breeze past the cabin. Lightweight 19-in wheels create a powerful stance while reducing noise and motion. Blue calipers draw your eyes to large Brembo front brakes. That same blue subtly accents the front and rear faces. Distinctive tail lights underscore Prelude’s sporty width, while the wide opening hatchback packs both a practical and performative punch. With purposeful emotive contours and a confident stance, the Honda Prelude is serious about excitement. [Music] From the ground up, the Honda Prelude is built to perform. Its chassis and suspension are derived from the legendary Honda Civic Type R, but smartly tuned with adaptive dampers that provide both driving thrills and fatigue-free travel. For power, Honda’s two motor hybrid system delivers brisk acceleration with prompt electric torque. That same hybrid system also helps Prelude receive phenomenal fuel economy ratings for a car this fun. Adding to that fun factor is Honda S+ Shift, which injects energetic shift behavior into your ride that you can see, hear, and feel, plus spirited engine blips as you decelerate. Speaking of deceleration, steering wheel paddles offer seven levels of regenerative braking intensity, including a new coasting feature that lets Prelude glide in tranquil, efficient fashion. Need to slow with more gusto? Big four piston Brembo front brake calipers combined with oversized rotors get the job done with zero drop. Grand Touring the Honda way means adapting to the moment. In that spirit, Prelude’s GT mode offers balanced road manners. For an extra plush ride, choose comfort mode. Ready for exhilaration? Sport mode delivers by sharpening the handling, powertrain responsiveness, and engine sound. For even more personalized adjustments, there’s a customizable individual mode. Prelude also features agile handling assist, a clever system that subtly and strategically breaks individual wheels, improving handling sharpness and stability as you enter and exit corners. Wherever your travels take you, Honda Sensing driver assist technology helps keep hazards at bay. Meanwhile, active noise cancellation and noise reducing wheels ensure you arrive to your destination refreshed. Whatever your drive has in store, the Honda Prelude is a versatile partner. Like its exterior, the Honda Prelude’s interior is thoughtfully conceived. A clear view forward beckons you to your next destination as tasteful byolor stitching and an embroidered dash affirm Prelude’s sophisticated aura. Artfully and intuitively arranged, the controls, vivid 10.2 2-in digital instrument cluster and responsive 9-in touchscreen make it simple to access music, communications, and vehicle settings. And with Google builtin, you’ll enjoy familiar apps, maps, and voice assistants. Of course, your digital life is always welcome with wireless smartphone mirroring capabilities. Whatever your preference, a wireless phone charger is included for tangle-free charging. Merging classic and modern touches. Each front seat is heated and specifically tailored to its occupants needs. Extra support for the driver, enhanced comfort for the passenger. There’s also a striking two-tone interior option that infuses high contrast details with a dash of nostalgia. Preparing for a weekend escape? Prelude’s cargo area has the space, while folding rear seats make extra room for those extended stays. And because every journey needs a soundtrack, a powerful eight- speakeraker Bose premium sound system is standing by, ready to rock.
