Honda Prelude VI (2025–) – The Return of a Legend

After more than two decades, the iconic Honda Prelude returns to the spotlight in an all-new sixth generation. The Honda Prelude VI merges the heritage of a classic sports coupe with advanced hybrid technology e:HEV, creating a modern GT for a new era. Combining dynamic performance, efficiency and Japanese precision, the new Prelude is a tribute to the past and a vision of the future.

Sporty spirit meets hybrid performance

The sixth-generation Honda Prelude retains the DNA of the original coupe while introducing a refined hybrid powertrain. Under the hood lies Honda’s advanced e:HEV system combining a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine with two electric motors for a total output of around 200 hp and 315 Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to the front wheels through an e-CVT transmission, while the S+ Shift system simulates gear changes and enhances the engine sound for a more emotional, driver-focused experience.

Exterior design – elegant, aerodynamic, and purposeful

The silhouette of the Prelude VI blends timeless coupe proportions with futuristic details. A long bonnet, low roofline and muscular rear arches emphasize its GT character. Distinctive 19-inch alloy wheels, Brembo brakes, and full-width LED tail lights accentuate the car’s wide stance. At the front, Adaptive Driving Beam headlights provide exceptional visibility while highlighting the sophisticated design language of Honda’s next generation of performance hybrids.

Interior – precision, comfort and technology

Inside, the Honda Prelude 6 combines craftsmanship with cutting-edge digital technology. Leather sport seats with blue stitching, a flat-bottom steering wheel and a fully digital 10.2-inch driver display set the tone for an engaging drive. The center 9-inch Honda CONNECT touchscreen integrates navigation, multimedia and vehicle settings, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. A wireless charging pad, smart entry system and the My Honda+ app add further convenience and connectivity.

Chassis and handling – inspired by Type R precision

The adaptive damping system, derived from the Civic Type R, gives the Prelude VI both comfort and precision. Three selectable drive modes – Comfort, GT and Sport – adapt the suspension, throttle and steering response. For maximum engagement, the Individual mode allows full customization. The S+ Shift feature works in every mode, offering sharper response and simulated gear steps that heighten the excitement of each acceleration.

Honda SENSING safety and driver assistance

The Honda SENSING suite ensures maximum safety and awareness on every journey. It includes Collision Mitigation Braking System, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation and Traffic Jam Assist. Front and rear parking sensors together with a rear-view camera make maneuvering easy and safe.

Prelude heritage – evolution of a Honda icon

The Prelude nameplate first appeared in 1978 as a sleek front-wheel-drive coupe. Later generations brought technological innovations like four-wheel steering (4WS) and the high-revving H22A VTEC engines. The Prelude VI (2025–) continues this legacy, combining sporty handling with hybrid efficiency, and reintroducing the philosophy of “man maximum, machine minimum” in a modern, sustainable form.
