Honda brings back electrified Prelude

The Honda Prelude, returning to the local market as an electrified sports coupe, will be available for pre-order, according to Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. which views the model as a bridge between nostalgic, well-loved heritage and new technology that is tailored for today’s market. 

Designed with the concept of “Unlimited Glide,” the Honda Prelude is engineered to provide a comfortable experience for endless drives as its low vehicle height, light proportions, and clean visibility make every trip more enjoyable. Its dynamic performance comes from several suspension components derived from the Civic Type R, delivering a balance of comfort and precise handling that makes it a capable and refined touring car.

Making its debut on the Honda Prelude is the S+ Shift technology. Honda has always emphasized its aim to satisfy drivers with its fun-to-drive nature and is now taking hybrid driving to a new level. While paddles on Honda’s hybrid models traditionally allow drivers to select between levels of regenerative braking, activating the S+ Shift gives the driver the ability to shift gears virtually. It produces visual, audio, and tactile signals such as meter display changes, virtual engine sounds, and seat vibrations to create a more engaging driving experience. 

The Honda Prelude will be available in one (1) variant, the 2.0 e:HEV E-CVT. Interested customers may visit or contact their preferred Honda Cars dealership to reserve a unit. To find the nearest dealership, visit https://www.hondaphil.com/dealer-finder.

While it is a sports coupe, the Prelude is not limited to being a ‘weekender’. With its practical functionality and versatility, it is built to be a daily driver. Its premium and stylish design serves a more practical purpose, offering ample cargo space and a comfortable cabin enough for groceries, two (2) golf bags, and even two (2) surfboards. Equipped with Honda’s e:HEV full hybrid system, it ensures efficiency, peace of mind, and is a commitment to a safer, greener future for all. Whether on city drives or long road trips, the Prelude is the perfect companion; its combined fuel economy performance rating of 25.6 km/LGe (based on DOE certification) allows the driver to focus on the journey without worry.

The Honda Prelude will be available in the following colors: Moonlit White Pearl (New and Exclusive to Prelude); Rallye Red; Racing Blue Pearl; Meteoroid Gray Metallic; and Crystal Black Pearl
