There's a way to go yet, but Honda will be selling a new Prelude in Europe in 2026, writes Brian Byrne. The car, an iconic coupe nameplate from the Japanese maker, debuted in 1978 and went through five generations until being dropped in 2000.
A new Prelude will come with a petrol-hybrid powertrain, with simulated sound and fast automatic gearchanges tilting back at the car's performance heritage.
Honda is celebrating 25 years of hybrid development, and the brand's range is fully electrified, with Jazz, Civic, HR-V, ZR-V and CR-V all available with e:HEV powertrains as standard.
