Yuki Tsunoda Tests the New Honda Prelude | Goes on Sale in September

Описание: The new "PRELUDE" model, scheduled for release in September 2025, is available for pre-purchase on its website.

The new Prelude is a dedicated sports car that reflects Honda's unwavering sporting ethos, bringing the joy of driving into the era of full-scale electrification while also prioritizing environmentally friendly performance and ease of use in everyday life.

The new Prelude is inspired by a glider that can soar freely and endlessly through the sky. The "LIMITLESS GLIDE" concept was adopted to create a car that evokes the thrill of graceful gliding and the excitement of an extraordinary experience. Boasting universally functionally beautiful proportions, the Prelude feels like it's soaring through the sky with its wings outstretched. Like a dynamic yet fluidly rotating glider, it offers a unique experience that will keep you moving forward without stopping. This model is a further development of Honda's unique hybrid system, e:HEV, and ushers in a new "special sports car" for the electric era, offering environmental friendliness and everyday usability while maintaining the "fun to drive."

The low, sharp front nose evokes a sense of exhilaration reminiscent of a soaring glider, while the smooth and expressive body lines, with their low, wide stance, deliver a dynamic driving experience. The design also reflects the spirit of a special car, with its glider-inspired headlights, recessed exterior handles that create smooth and clean door panels, and a black chrome-plated front grille that conveys a sense of quality.

The interior was designed to evoke a sense of exhilaration, creating a comfortable space for both driver and passenger. The interior's primary color scheme, "blue and white," combines light white with dark blue, expressing the PRELUDE concept. The instrument panel evokes a special feeling with its meticulous craftsmanship, including its softly shaded white upholstery and the embroidered PRELUDE logo, which enhances the pleasure of ownership. The driver's and passenger seats are also distinctly designed; the driver's seat provides enhanced support for sporty driving, while the passenger seat offers a comfortable, enveloping feel. Features such as the low, horizontal field of view, the D-shaped steering wheel, and the PRELUDE-specific graphic instrument cluster enhance the driving experience.

The wide, low, and smooth body captures the proportions of a dedicated sports car, while the large tires and optimal wheelbase ensure high maneuverability.

The luggage compartment features a wide tailgate, making loading and unloading easy. The rear seats fold down to accommodate various items. Storage space under the floorboard, practical storage hooks, and other features make the luggage compartment extremely user-friendly.

Throughout its five generations since its launch in 1978, the Prelude has consistently remained at the forefront of its time as an advanced front-wheel-drive specialty car, incorporating cutting-edge technologies tailored to each generation. These include a power sunroof, the first in a Japanese vehicle, anti-lock braking system (ABS), and the world's first all-wheel steering system (4WS). The new sixth-generation Prelude returns to the electric era as a hybrid private car for the first time in 24 years.
