Honda Confirms Return of the Prelude: A Performance Hybrid Coupe Coming in 2025
The Return of the Honda Prelude: A Hybrid Coupe Revival
Honda enthusiasts, get ready to rejoice! The iconic sports car nameplate, the Honda Prelude, is set to make a comeback in the UK showrooms in 2025. After a hiatus of 25 years, the Prelude will return as a performance hybrid coupe, blending sporty DNA with the efficiency of electrified driving.
The Prelude first graced European showrooms in 1979, captivating car enthusiasts with its sleek design and impressive performance. The last generation of the Prelude bid farewell in 2001, leaving a void in the market that is now set to be filled by the upcoming hybrid coupe.
Honda’s decision to revive the Prelude comes as part of their 25-year celebration of using hybrid power, dating back to the 1999 Insight. The new Prelude is expected to feature a hybrid drivetrain similar to the Civic hatchback, offering a blend of power and efficiency that will appeal to modern drivers.
With a design that pays homage to Japanese performance car aesthetics, the new Prelude promises to turn heads on the road. From its drop-nose bonnet and angular headlight clusters to its sloped roofline and muscular haunches, the Prelude exudes a sporty and aggressive stance that is sure to impress.
While details about the performance and pricing of the Prelude are still under wraps, enthusiasts can catch a glimpse of the Prelude Concept at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. With its European driving debut scheduled for July, the Prelude Concept will give attendees a taste of what’s to come from Honda’s latest creation.
As we eagerly await the return of the Honda Prelude, one thing is certain – the revival of this iconic sports car nameplate marks a new chapter in Honda’s commitment to electrification and innovation. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the world of hybrid sports cars.
