If you’re hunting for an eye-catching small vehicle that provides an ideal blend of hybrid efficiency and sporty handling, there’s no better choice than the all-new 2026 Honda Prelude. This iconic model returns with the high-performance chassis hardware of the Honda Civic Type R and the award-winning Honda two-motor hybrid powertrain setup. Our Pacific Honda team has crafted this summary to tell you more.
Power and Performance
When you pick this model, you’ll receive a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors for a total of 200 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque.
