Honda Prelude Hybrid

Rethinking Hybrid Capabilities

The Honda Prelude Hybrid doesn’t arrive but bursts onto the scene, immediately capturing attention with its low-slung stance and dramatic profile. Built on the precision-tuned Type R chassis, you know you’re in for a driving experience that places excitement at the center of it all.

The Prelude Hybrid asks you to forget everything you thought you knew about hybrid mobility. Its 2-motor hybrid system delivers hair-raising performance output you thought was only reserved for top-of-the-line sports cars. Paired with a 2.0L engine, the Prelude Hybrid delivers 200 net horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque.

Steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters help you feel more engaged with your commute. The physical and tactile interactions increase the connection between man, machine, and the road.

Progress for the Sake of Reinvention

Beyond its high-powered hybrid capabilities, the Honda Prelude Hybrid reshapes how you reach destinations. The exclusive Honda S+ Shift system works to replicate the spirited feel of a manual transmission, delivering crisp gear changes with near-instant response times. The result is quicker acceleration and less hesitation.

Each day brings something new. The Prelude Hybrid adapts to your changing needs with its Dynamic Drive Modes. Each of the four selectable modes modifies how your vehicle feels:

• Comfort: Delivers a smooth driving feel, ideal for long trips.
• GT: Optimizes performance and comfort for a dynamic experience.
• Sport: Enhances throttle response for a precision-tuned commute.
• Individual: Creates a personal profile modified to your unique needs.

The dual-axis front suspension and adaptive damper system work to enhance grip and maneuverability, allowing you to feel more confident heading into turns at higher speeds.

A Cockpit Built Around You

When handling a high-powered machine like the Honda Prelude Hybrid, focus is everything. Honda engineers have curated a cockpit designed with you in mind. Climb in and settle into the body-supporting sport seats with side bolsters, designed to keep you stable as your car flies down the road. For added comfort, heated front seats are standard.

In addition to the comfortable space that’s designed with long joyrides in mind, the Prelude Hybrid minimizes distractions, starting with the floating 9-inch color touchscreen. Nearly the only addition to the sleek dashboard, this display helps keep you connected without overwhelming the senses with digital clutter.

Wireless capabilities further simplify the space. Connect your phone via wireless Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ to access your curated playlists on the go. A standard wireless phone charger helps keep your device charged and ready for whatever comes next.

One Less Thing to Consider

There’s already enough to think about within your dynamic life. The Honda Prelude Hybrid simplifies your routine with its mindful convenience features. Take, for example, Alexa built-in. This advanced system integrates the capabilities of your smart home device to your hybrid sedan. Using your voice, you can check traffic updates, listen to the top news articles of the day, or request a song.

With the Honda Prelude Hybrid, you’ll find additional convenience features, including:

• Hill Start Assist: Prevents your vehicle from rolling backward when stopped on an incline.
• Automatic-Dimming Rearview Mirror: Adjusts the reflectivity to reduce glare from headlights.
• Rear Seat Reminder: Reminds you to check the back seat to ensure nothing is left behind.

It’s seemingly small features like these that help make your day feel effortless.

Meet Your New Virtual Assistant

The Honda Prelude invites you to rethink your commute. Google built-in adds the powerful capabilities of your favorite internet browser, allowing you to access the wonders of the World Wide Web while on the go (Wi-Fi hotspot capability is standard). Features like Google Maps streamline your commute, providing real-time traffic updates to help you reach your destination as quickly as possible.

Going beyond the expected, Google Assistant acts as your personal helper, responding to natural-language commands like:

• I’m in the mood for a burger.
• Can you give me a rundown of my calendar?
• What movie should I see this weekend?

Each Prelude Hybrid trim comes standard with an 8-speaker Bose Premium Sound System. This advanced audio system enhances music quality, ensuring each of the four seats is treated to an equally immersive listening experience.

Eyes Everywhere

Driving the Honda Prelude Hybrid, you’d better prepare yourself for the longing looks of envious passersby. Bold colors like Boost Blue and Rallye Red thrust you into the spotlight, while dynamic lighting systems and blue exterior accents leave you the talk of the neighborhood.

As you appreciate your newfound attention, the advanced capabilities of Honda Sensing® help you arrive safely. Sophisticated technology constantly monitors your surroundings and alerts you to hazards you may have missed. Intuitive features like Traffic Jam Assist add mild autonomous capabilities to your commute, assisting with speed and lane centering in stop-and-go scenarios.

When you reach your destination, eight parking sensors ensure a flawless performance in the busy parking lot.
