The Honda Prelude Coupe impresses with a Full Hybrid engine, 184 HP and an attractive starting price of 42400 £. Here are all the details at a glance.
The Honda Prelude returns as a sleek coupe with grown-up restraint and plenty of presence. It sits low at 1349 mm and spreads wide at 1880 mm, while the 4525 mm length gives it long-hood, short-deck proportions that look right in any car park. Clean surfacing and a tight stance signal more grand-tourer than boy racer. It’s unmistakably modern, yet the name and silhouette nod to Honda’s classic two-door heritage.
Inside, the Prelude keeps things clear and tactile, with solid-feeling switchgear and a low seating position that sets the tone. The driving environment is focused without feeling cramped, with good forward visibility and supportive front seats for longer journeys. Materials feel honest and durable, avoiding overly glossy surfaces that date quickly. Controls are where you expect them, which makes daily use refreshingly simple.
It’s a 3‑door coupe with 4 seats, so rear headroom is naturally tight for taller adults, but short trips are fine. The boot offers 264 L, enough for weekend bags or a weekly shop, and expands to a useful 760 L when you need to carry bulkier items. Long doors help front access, though they ask for a bit of space in tight parking bays. For day-to-day life, it’s practical enough without pretending to be a hatchback.
The hybrid powertrain favors electric running at low speeds, so it glides away quietly in town before the engine steps in seamlessly. Steering is accurate and light, and the front‑wheel‑drive chassis feels tidy and predictable on a twisty road. Body control is disciplined rather than harsh, letting the Prelude cover distance with a relaxed, GT-like vibe. The automatic reduction gearbox behaves like an e‑CVT, prioritizing smoothness over theatrics.
The current model, the Prelude 2.0 i‑MMD e:HEV, delivers 184 HP and a healthy 315 Nm for easy pace in daily traffic. Officially it does 0–100 km/h in 8.2 s and tops out at 188 km/h, which reads sensible but feels brisk thanks to instant electric torque. Overtakes are handled cleanly once the system leans on the e‑motor’s punch. It’s not chasing lap times; it’s focused on effortless, repeatable performance.
Honda quotes an average of 5.2 L/100 km and 117 g/km CO₂, strong numbers for a stylish coupe with real-world usability. With a 40 L tank, long stretches between fuel stops are on the cards, especially if you commute or cruise rather than sprint. The hybrid system shines in stop‑start traffic, often moving on electric power to trim consumption. In everyday terms, it’s the kind of car that puts more miles between you and the petrol station without asking you to drive like a saint.
The Prelude brings the full suite of modern connectivity and driver assistance expected in 2026, aimed at reducing hassle rather than driving the show. Smartphone integration and navigation are on hand for daily duty, while adaptive aids help smooth out long motorway runs and busy urban streets. Interfaces are straightforward and responses quick, so you spend less time poking screens and more time driving. The tech supports the hybrid’s calm character instead of stealing attention.
This is a coupe for drivers who appreciate design and balance over brute force. It suits commuters and weekend explorers who want efficiency, comfort, and a dash of theatre every time they walk up to the car. If a hot hatch feels too busy and an SUV too bulky, the Prelude hits a sweet spot. It’s a modern classic in spirit: easy to live with, tidy to drive, and ready for the long way home.
