Honda finally revealed the production version of the sixth generation Prelude, where the three -part coupé arrives in the showroom in the United States this year, while his turnover has started today, September 5, 2025 in Japan.
The production version of the Prelude 2026 seems to have a similar look if the prototype version that is first unveiled for the first time in October 2023. What is different is that this production model will have parking sensors on the front and rear bumper.
The Coupé receives a face with a tapered mouthpiece, given a thin front lamp with adaptive high lights and active rotation bulbs, with ‘eyebrows’ on the LED strip. It also received a front bumper with a high-end spoiler, hidden door opener, rear lamps that were completely covered, double bubble roof, spoiler boots ‘duck tails’ as well as diffuser aggressive.
The blue stripes are given to the front and rear bumper, and the prelude body also looks ‘clean’ because the body panels are combined with soldering laser techniques without the welding covered with conditioner and even antennas that are printed on the rear mirror without the need for ‘yu fins’.
The external appearance of this model is equipped with a set of wheel sets with 19-inch rims from different jet in shiny black finish, packed with 235/40R19 tires. It can be seen behind the wheels of the four Brembo brakes for the blue finish and the smaller backbone is also blue, which is actually the same system used on the Honda Civic type R. Hot-Hatch.
Not only the brakes, the prelude platform is actually shared with the 11th Honda Civic, with its Power Network unit from the Honda Civic Hybrid, while the suspension of the Civic Type R is included, but all a special conflict for this coupe.
As mentioned earlier, Prelude received the e: HEV network unit from Civic. So it received the Atkinson’s 2.0 -Cylinder -Four -Cylinder engine that generated 141 hp, as well as a torque of 181 Nm, combined with two electric motors that produced 181 hp and a maximum torque of 315 Nm. According to Honda, the total prelude was supplied with a capacity of 200 hp and a maximum torque of 315 Nm.
This means that the power of the prelude is equal to the Honda Civic SI and also Acura Integra (another model that shares the 11th generation Civic Platform), but with a much larger torque such as the 1.5-liter turbo engine on both performance models only generates a couple of 260 Nm.
The petrol engine in the prelude will usually only work to charge hybrid batteries, while every time the front wheel is powered by electric motors, the torque of 315 Nm makes it possible from 0 rpm. But in certain situations such as high speed, the engine will be connected to the electric motor to drive the wheel together through the clutch lock delivered.
At Civic Hybrid it has already received the sound of motor and fake equipment exchange to prevent the clumsiness of the driver while driving the car. But for the prelude, the sound has been improved with the active sound control (ASC), and even with the Honda S+ Shift mode, the driver can also ‘convert the fake wheel manually’ by the aluminum gear converter pedal on the steering wheel.
The mode offers eight fake conversations and also offers a ‘shift shock’ such as a real gearbox every time the gear is changed. According to Honda, the taste and speed of fake equipment on this prelude gets a feeling of second -generation Honda NSX DCT gearbox. The system will also offer noise throttle Every time the fake wheel is reduced manually.
For chassis, Prelude receives a configuration of suspension before the same two Paksi supports as the Honda Civic Type R and also Acura Integra Type S, making it possible coupling steering What usually happens on a front car while accelerating is completely eliminated.
Prelude also gets the same adaptive absorbent as the Civic Type R/Integra type S, but gets a more distinctive trail of comfort for long departments, such as a Grand Touring In fact, a sporty handling character gives at the same time. Even the front and rear track distance is also wide as a social type R (1,626 mm for/1.613 mm back) to offer stability and grasp of the wheel while taking a better turn.
Four driving modes are provided on this prelude, Comfort, GT, sports and individuals. These modes offer the response of the power network, the level of power steering, the absorption of adaptive suspension, engine noise and even images of digital instruments that are fully adjusted.
It is not sufficient that Prelude also gets the improved Honda Agile Handling Assist function, to offer the driver a better treatment and trust through the control of the Power Network unit and the braking system integrated on the basis of the driver’s control control.
In the cabin, one glance at the Prelude Dashboard can look just like Civic, but it distinguishes itself by the design of the air conditioning pores that do not completely cross the dashboard. The central console is also more distinctive because the conventional gear button is replaced by the pressure on ‘PRND’, whereby the left and right is included in the ‘s+’ mode button, the riding production choice and also electric parking brake switch.
Interestingly, the design of the Six -General Prelude Prelude is inspired by the iconic Prelude chair design from the first to the fourth, where ‘bucket’ support is only given at the bottom, with a small upper body. The coupe also receives a configuration of 2+2 seats where the rear seat can only house two passengers.
This prelude behind boots is open with a mirror like a model liftbackSo that you can place a long item if the rear seat is folded (can be separated by a 60/40 ratio).
Other details on the Prelude 2026 are leather upholstery with Houndstooth patterns on the chair, leather steering wheel with a flat design below and blue stitching and a 12 -time tips, as well as synthetic leather upholstery on the dashboard with Prelude Logo -Borduerkwerk.
It also receives a full display of digital instrument with a 10.2-inch screen, a 9-inch infotainmen screen with Google Build-in and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone chargers and a Premium Bose sound system with eight speakers.
For safety, the Prelude also receives the Honda Sensing’s Advanced Driving Assistance System (Fennel) with functions such as emergency brakes for the front with front gas lever, overdue traffic -crossing warning with back -back -back gas control, steering wheel violations, adaptive cruise -control follows.
