Honda Prelude 2026 review: Clever comeback for classic coupe

cityam03-03

Honda Prelude is a nameplate we last saw in the UK 25 years ago. And Honda’s not bringing it back applied to yet another electric SUV, but a bona fide two-door coupe, just like the original from 1978....

And Honda’s not bringing it back applied to yet another electric SUV, but a bona fide two-door coupe, just like the original from 1978.This is a purist move from this most purist of car companies. In other firms, marketing can call the shots. At Honda, it’s the engineers whose word is final. Hence why the new 2026 Honda Prelude is one of the more intelligent types of new car.For starters, it’s a hybrid, rather than a plug-in hybrid or even an EV. This has allowed an authentically low-slung body to sit atop the Honda Civic-derived underpinnings, one that’s optimised for weight (it’s a handy 1,480kg), rigidity and, yes, head-turning good looks.This is a great-looking car. It’s not an in-your-face showboat, like so many modern cars, but a sleek and svelte one, appearing particularly eye-catching from the rear thanks to its swooping roofline. I also spy a hint of modern-era Porsche 911 around the tail lamps, which is no bad thing.It’s only offered in four colours, mind – standard black, or white, grey and this fabulous Racing Blue as £700 options. But then, Honda’s only set to sell 400 in this financial year, and 500 the next, so the chances of Prelude owners seeing another one, never mind one in the same colour, are slim. Its key rival, the BMW 2 Series Coupe, will sell several multiples more.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNews Updates\nStay ahead with our three daily briefings delivering all the key market moves, top business and political stories, and incisive analysis straight to your inbox.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDon’t think such small volumes make this £40,995 car a half-hearted effort, though. Indeed, as I discovered on a fabulous morning in Oxfordshire, it’s anything but…Inside the 2026 Honda PreludeThe Civic link is obvious when you step inside. The Honda Prelude shares a dashboard with its family hatchback sibling, albeit one with plenty of bespoke tailoring, from trimmed surfaces that feel like Japanese paper to a flat-bottomed steering wheel that is lovely to hold.The low-slung seats are bespoke, too. Indeed, they’re asymmetrical – the driver’s seat is firmer and more heavily bolstered at the sides, while the passenger seat is a little softer and easier to get in and out of. A very engineeringy touch.You can pick white or black interior colour schemes, and either is beautifully trimmed, with a snazzy ‘Prelude’ logo stitched in the dashboard. Equipment on the single Advance grade is all-inclusive, extending to a Bose premium audio system, although electric seats are oddly unavailable.This is billed as a four-seat coupe but, like in a Porsche 911, nobody sitting in the back will thank you (the front seats also ‘forget’ the backrest angle when you tip them back forward).\n\nOver-shoulder vision is gloomy too, in contrast to the excellent forward visibility, aided by a low dashboard and thin windscreen pillars.The extreme roofline means the tailgate is huge, and it extends so far forwards that rear passengers’ heads will be exposed when it’s open. Be careful they’re not sitting upright when you slam it closed.The parcel shelf – a piece of netting – is an afterthought, too. The boot is well-shaped, albeit compact, at 264 litres (expanding to 663 litres with the rear seats folded).Driving the 2026 Honda PreludeThe Honda Prelude uses the same 2.0-litre e:HEV hybrid technology as the Civic. Its petrol engine produces a meek-sounding 143hp, while the punchy electric motor serves up a more interesting 184hp. And it’s this fast-reacting motor that actually drives the Prelude; the petrol engine simply supplies the energy.\n\nThe result is a slightly disappointing 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds. However, a far flatter torque curve ensures ample power is delivered across the engine range, not just at high revs. Less peak power, more usable power is Honda’s pitch.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2616354276","isCrawlerRequest":true}
