2026 Honda Prelude Returns as a Tech-Forward Hybrid Grand Touring Coupe

·1 views

Honda is reviving the Prelude nameplate for 2026, positioning it as a technology-focused hybrid grand touring coupe rather than a traditional performance car. The Prelude has historically been a showcase for Honda engineering innovations, including F1-derived fuel injection in its second generation and four-wheel steering in the third generation during the late 1980s. The fourth-generation model was notably the first mainstream Honda to adopt the NSX's VTEC system.
