The 2026 Honda Prelude in production form is scheduled for launch in the second half of 2025, and it will share its platform with the Civic.
Honda’s presentation of the reborn Prelude at the Japan Mobility Show made one of the bigger splashes of 2023. While that was a near-production coupe concept, specifications have since been kept secret. Cue speculation left and right. Now, we learn that the next Prelude could combine a 6-speed manual gearbox with a hybrid powertrain.
It’s widely expected the new sixth-generation Prelude is adopting the platform of the Honda Civic. Unlike the Civic, which is available as a five-door hatchback and a four-door sedan, the Prelude is retaining its two-door coupe body style, underlining its resolutely sporty DNA.Honda may offer a manual gearbox in conjunction with its e hybrid system, in addition to the often-criticized CVT transmission.
