Prelude
The 2027 Honda Prelude takes an unusual approach to the sport-coupe formula by pairing hybrid efficiency with serious chassis hardware and everyday driving manners. Its two-motor hybrid system produces 200 total horsepower while providing up to 46 mpg. The model’s performance-focused equipment includes a dual-axis front suspension, adaptive dampers, Brembo front brake calipers, variable-ratio steering, and four selectable drive modes. Honda’s S+ Shift uses simulated gear changes and steering-wheel paddle shifters to make the hybrid powertrain feel more engaging. Rather than a conventional geared automatic transmission, the Prelude uses a direct-drive unit that relies primarily on the electric motor to drive the wheels, providing smooth, immediate acceleration while maximizing efficiency.
The Prelude also leans toward grand touring, with heated leather-trimmed front sport seats, a digital instrument cluster, Bose audio, Google built-in multimedia, and the extensive Honda Sensing suite of driver-assistance technologies. Four-person seating and a liftback add a level of practicality not often associated with the compact coupe segment.
