Honda Prelude Specifications & Features
Recall the Honda Prelude, that cool coupe from back in the day? Well, guess what? We’re excited because it seems like the 2026 Honda Prelude is making a comeback! There’s this concept car that screams “ready for production,” and it’s all set to be a striking two-door coupe again. But here’s the twist. It will likely be a hybrid this time. Picture a sleek design that perfectly fits the 21st-century Prelude vibe. While we don’t have all the nitty-gritty on its power and mechanics, we anticipate it sharing some bits with the Civic and Accord models. Honda promises a blast of a driving experience. So, as we eagerly await more details, it seems the revived Prelude is becoming more real by the day.
What’s New?
Known by its familiar name, the Prelude marks a fresh entry into Honda’s lineup, taking on the role of a successor to the phased-out coupe versions of the Civic and Accord. Anticipated to debut in the 2026 model year, the exact production schedule remains uncertain.
Honda Prelude Engine, Power & Performance
Honda has shared that the upcoming Prelude concept car will feature a hybrid powertrain. It’s likely to use a version of the hybrid system found in models like the CR-V, Accord, and the 2025 Civic hybrid. The Accord, with a 2.0L four-cylinder gasoline engine, produces 204 hp through its hybrid setup. However, we’re hopeful the Prelude, aiming for better performance, will pack even more power. The standard configuration is expected to be FWD, consistent with the Prelude’s history. An AWD option isn’t ruled out. Unfortunately, a manual transmission is unlikely this time. The Prelude’s powertrain holds promise, drawing on Honda’s hybrid expertise seen in their current lineup.
