The 2026 Honda Prelude reinvents itself with a hybrid electric powertrain. It features a 2.0 liter Atkinson cycle four cylinder engine paired with a two motor electric system that produces a combined 200 horsepower and 232 lb ft of torque. This setup provides lively response and strong acceleration while achieving impressive fuel efficiency, rated at 46 mpg city and 41 mpg highway.

Adding to the driving excitement is the new Honda S+ Shift system. This technology simulates the feel of a dual clutch transmission, offering distinct shift sensations while retaining the smooth and refined operation of a hybrid drivetrain. The chassis tuning draws inspiration from the Honda Civic Type R, using a dual axis front suspension and adaptive dampers to deliver precise steering, confident cornering, and a connected road feel. Four piston Brembo front brake calipers with two piece rotors enhance stopping performance and pedal consistency.
