A dynamic driving experience

Experience dynamic handling, responsive drive modes and an intelligent powertrain engineered for excitement.

Full hybrid powertrain

The Prelude features Honda’s next-generation e:HEV hybrid system, pairing a 2.0-litre engine with dual electric motors. In everyday driving, the electric motor powers the vehicle, while the petrol engine primarily acts as a generator to recharge the battery, eliminating the need to plug in.

It seamlessly switches between Electric, Hybrid, and Engine modes to deliver instant torque, smooth performance and outstanding efficiency.

S+ Shift technology

Honda’s bespoke S+ Shift technology has been developed to enhance your driving pleasure. This unique technology simulates virtual gear changes, combined with the instant electrified acceleration of a Honda full hybrid, giving you the responsiveness of a sports coupe while maintaining the efficiency of a hybrid.

Built for passionate drivers, S+ Shift selects the optimal gear and keeps the engine in its most efficient range for smooth, responsive performance. Paddle shifters on the steering wheel offer manual control, intensifying the experience with sharper shifts and performance-inspired engine sound.

Three drive modes

Three drive modes – each designed for different driving styles and conditions. The system adjusts various parameters, including powertrain, throttle response, steering feel, suspension settings and Adaptive Cruise Control.

Comfort Mode: Relaxed driving experience, softer suspension, subdued engine sounds

GT Mode: Responsive yet smooth for pleasant long-distance cruising

Sport Mode: Enhanced throttle response, suspension settings, chassis stiffness and steering sensitivity

Plus, you can customise each setting.

Explore the Prelude's exterior features

Sleek, sporty and full of personality, the Prelude’s contemporary design offers sculpted lines and smooth curves.

Keyless entry and start

Unlock, start and go without taking the key out of your pocket – convenience that moves with you.

Privacy glass

Privacy glass ensures a more sophisticated appearance while providing added comfort by reducing glare and keeping the cabin cool.

19” alloy wheels

Brembo brakes

Eye-catching double branded Brembo brake calipers that add a sporting edge, hinting at the Prelude’s stopping performance.

LED headlights with Adaptive Driving Beam

Advanced LED headlights with Adaptive Driving Beam technology provide exceptional visibility while automatically adjusting brightness to avoid dazzling other drivers.

Sleek rear profile

The rear lights feature a sleek, horizontal layout that spans across the rear fascia, creating a unified and futuristic look.

Explore the Prelude's interior features

Where style meets substance, the Prelude’s interior blends sporty sophistication with driver-focused design details.

Multifunctional steering wheel

Control audio, calls, and driving information effortlessly with intuitive buttons right at your fingertips.

GT comfort & style

As you settle into the finely crafted, body-hugging leather seats and grip the perfectly contoured ‘D’ shaped steering wheel, you will notice the ergonomic interior hints at the car’s GT pedigree.

Paddle shifters

For those who crave more control, paddle shifters on the steering wheel allow you to manually take charge of each gear change – amplifying the thrill with more pronounced shifts and dynamic, performance-inspired engine sounds.

Premium leather upholstery

Finely crafted, body-hugging leather seats provide lasting comfort and support, whilst soft-touch materials and distinctive touches like blue stitching make this a very enjoyable place to be.

Immersive Bose® audio

Immerse yourself in superior sound quality with 8 premium Bose speakers, delivering a rich and dynamic audio experience.
