The 2026 Honda Prelude marks a bold and much-anticipated return of this icon, last seen in Honda's 2001 lineup. This forthcoming sport coupe evolves from the previous fifth generation, revitalizing Honda's performance heritage. The Prelude provides a thrilling driving experience with a powerful engine—expected to deliver well over the previous model's 200-hp as per rumors—and exacting transmission options between a manual and automatic system. It touts a sleek, aerodynamic exterior and sophisticated, high-tech interior, outfitted with a state-of-the-art infotainment system featuring compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As with all Hondas, the Prelude is expected to encompass the Honda Sensing suite of active safety and driver assistance technologies.
