The 2026 Honda Prelude

The Prelude nameplate has been revived for a hybrid electric concept car, showcased at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show. Another example finished in red made its debut in July 2024 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the Prelude was also confirmed for a European release. The revival of the Prelude nameplate is part of Honda's recent revival of old nameplates, such as Passport and Integra.

The new Prelude will serve as a replacement for the discontinued Civic and Accord Coupes and is set for global release in 2025. The model features a new drive mode, Honda S+ Shift. This is the first Prelude with liftback body shape, as the older generation models were 2 door coupe with sedan-like trunk.

Japanese models went on sale on 5 September 2025.
