Companies like Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge used to offer front-wheel-drive, two-door vehicles based on their mainstream sedans, but all of them have since abandoned the segment.<\/p>\n<p>Even Honda, long bearers of the flame, killed the Accord and Civic Coupes a few years ago. Yet, the company isn&#8217;t ready to give up on the idea of affordable, front-drive coupes; as everyone else retreats, Honda is doubling down.<\/p>\n<p>This is the new sixth-generation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/honda\/prelude\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"1\" data-params=\"%7B%22make_alias%22%3A%22honda%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22prelude%22%7D\">Honda Prelude<\/a>, which officially debuts in production form after more than a year of teasing. We saw the first prototype in Japan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/693045\/honda-prelude-concept-japan-mobility-show\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22693045%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22honda-prelude-concept-japan-mobility-show%22%7D\">more than a year ago<\/a>, but finally, Honda&#8217;s revived Prelude is nearly ready for the road.<\/p>\n<p>The question is: Is the new Prelude good enough to revive the mainstream coupe segment? I recently spent time with the recently introduced production model to find out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Performance: Hybrid Power, Type R Tuning<\/h2>\n<p>    <img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"2026 Honda Prelude\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2026-honda-prelude.jpg\"><br \/>\nPhoto by: Honda<\/p>\n<p>The first five generations of Prelude were effectively Accord coupes, albeit with some fun add-ons. This one bucks that mold. It&#8217;s essentially a Civic Hybrid coupe this time around. It uses the same 200-horsepower two-motor hybrid system that eschews a conventional transmission as the Civic, and rides on the same platform.<\/p>\n<p>Like with preceding Preludes, though, Honda has added a bit of special sauce to this new one. It&#8217;s designed to be a grand tourer targeted at enthusiasts, so it gets the same dual-axis front suspension as the Civic Type R. That should help avoid torque steer when all 232 pound-feet of torque reaches the front wheels. The Prelude also gets far nicer seats than the standard Civic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The big news, however, is Honda S+ Shift. It&#8217;s Honda&#8217;s first foray into the new world of synthetic shifting. Because the two-motor system uses two electric motors facing one another in lieu of a transmission, there are no gears to shift in this high-performance Honda.<\/p>\n<p>    <img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"2026 Honda Prelude\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2026-honda-prelude-1.jpg\"><br \/>\nPhoto by: Honda<\/p>\n<p>    <img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"2026 Honda Prelude\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2026-honda-prelude-2.jpg\"><br \/>\nPhoto by: Honda<\/p>\n<p>Given that the brand is famous for its manual transmissions, it opted to put fake gears in the Prelude. Activate the system with the S+ Shift button, and you&#8217;ll be able to swap imaginary cogs using the paddle shifters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Prelude comes in only one trim, with a standard 9.0-inch touch screen. It&#8217;s the same unit you get on top-trim Civics, with Google Built-In and wireless CarPlay and Android Auto. Honda&#8217;s full suite of active safety features also comes standard, including lane-centering and adaptive cruise control. All Preludes also get a Bose audio system.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s only one factory wheel option: 19-inch Berlina Black alloys. But dealers will offer optional Honda Performance Development (HPD) wheels, which are the ones to get.<\/p>\n<h2>Interior: A Fancier Civic<\/h2>\n<p>    <img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"2026 Honda Prelude\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2026-honda-prelude-3.jpg\"><br \/>\nPhoto by: Honda<\/p>\n<p>Honda wouldn&#8217;t let me drive the Prelude or try out the S+ shifting, but I did get a hands-on look in the video above. I was reasonably impressed on first glance. The styling of the Prelude is both attractive and distinct from the Civic Hybrid, and I thought it looked great with the HPD spoiler and wheels fitted.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, it&#8217;s much less distinct. Looking out from the driver&#8217;s seat, the Prelude looks and feels like a Civic. The major difference comes in the seats, which are just sensational. Anyone who has driven a current-generation Civic Type R will tell you that Honda makes some of the best seats for enthusiasts, and the Prelude&#8217;s are no different. They&#8217;re plush, leather-trimmed buckets with a perforated houndstooth pattern pulled from the old Honda City. I love them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>    <img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"2026 Honda Prelude\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2026-honda-prelude-4.jpg\"><br \/>\nPhoto by: Honda<\/p>\n<p>    <img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"2026 Honda Prelude\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2026-honda-prelude-5.jpg\"><br \/>\nPhoto by: Honda<\/p>\n<p>But while front-seat passengers get thrones, those in the back aren&#8217;t so lucky. Honda proudly points out that the &#8220;2+2&#8221; seating layout offers a &#8220;generous&#8221; 32.0 inches of rear leg room. That&#8217;s true, and at 5-foot-6-inches, I could easily sit behind my own driving position without bumping my legs against the seatback. It doesn&#8217;t matter, however, as my head was pressed against the C pillar and rear glass. As a smaller-than-average man, I would not tolerate more than a few minutes back there.<\/p>\n<p>Drop those rear seats, and the Prelude gets much more practical. It&#8217;s now got a lift-back opening in the rear, giving you a wider opening for bulky cargo. Honda says you can fit golf bags back there and, to my eye, you should be able to squeeze in a bike with the front wheel removed. You can certainly fit enough cargo for a two-person road trip, though, so the grand touring mission seems achievable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How Much Will the New Prelude Cost?<\/h2>\n<p>I liked the Prelude in person, even if its livability compromises make it a niche product. Ultimately, it&#8217;s easy to see why most companies have abandoned this segment. If you want a practical family vehicle, you&#8217;re going to demand four doors. If you want a sporty coupe, most people are going to opt for a purpose-built rear-wheel-drive machine like a Toyota GR86 or Ford Mustang.<\/p>\n<p>But for those who want a sportier experience than a Civic without giving up on the fuel economy, smoothness, and reliability of a Honda hybrid, it could be a great option. It just comes down to how much it costs. For now, Honda isn&#8217;t saying.<\/p>\n<p>But with the Prelude expected to hit dealerships in &#8220;late fall,&#8221; we should know soon enough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a
