Exterior and Design
The New Prelude boasts dimensions that strike a balance between agility and comfort.

Standing at heights of 51.2 and 51.6 inches respectively, the Prelude’s proportions exude confidence.
Honda’s Chief Engineer, Tomoyuki Yamagami, acknowledges that while the Prelude embodies a sleek design, it may not be the absolute “sportiest, zippiest car.” Nonetheless, its aesthetics promise a compelling presence on the road.

Under the hood, the Prelude Concept features a hybrid powertrain. According to the latest reports, it will utilize a 2.0-liter four-cylinder e:HEV engine paired with two electric motors. This combination is estimated to deliver around 204 horsepower. Additionally, the Prelude will feature all-wheel drive, although a manual transmission won’t be part of the package.
