Despite a lot of commonality under the skin, the Prelude has a completely different exterior that in principle seems to be unchanged compared to the 2023 concept.
Although the interior seems to be a straight lift from the North -American Acura Integra – also very closely related to the Civic – the dashboard is a unique piece of kit.
The Dashboard top of the Prelude does without the Swoopy character lines of the Integra and a prominent band from Faux Metallic Trim. In their place there is a softer, flatter design with a greater emphasis on lined soft touch materials.
That said, the ventilation openings, switch and the overall layout will immediately feel known to anyone who was in a current burger or integra.
Rear chair accommodation seems to be bad, with legroom in short -supply and main room compromised by the roof line and Liège. The rear seat is over a ventilation opening for the hybrid battery and only has safety belts for two passengers.
Under the rear hatch, the boot looks for a long time. If privacy is a concern, there is a handy folding freight cover.
The raised center tunnel houses a series of switches and controls, including a series of buttons to arrange the electronic continuous variable transmission (ECVT) of the car that is an integral part of the hybrid drive of the prelude.
Honda’s current power split Hybrid system drives the front wheels via a 2.0-liter petrol engine linked to a few electric motors. In the Civic E: HEV makes the system 135 kW, while in the larger agreement e: HEV output is assessed on 152 kW.
Unfortunately, Honda has confirmed that the Prelude will not be available with a manual transmission. However, there is a new S+ mode that, according to the company, “simulate the sound and the feeling of rapid automatic gear changes”.
In the video we can hear the car aggressively down while braking and avoiding the motorcycle drone that is common for ECVT-Uituest cars. The Prelude is also equipped with paddle shifters with which the driver shifts between simulated gears.
The prelude, exclusively available as a hybrid, fogs Honda’s Turbo charts 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mounted on the Integra Type S (239 kW/420 Nm) and Civic Type R (235 kW/420 Nm).
Although the Prelude has been confirmed for Japan, Europe and North America, Honda Australia still has to bind to offer the new life -made sporting coupe, although it has made the name locally.
The Prelude is the newest heritage name that is dusted by Honda, in which the automaker breathe new life into the Integra in 2022, as well as the passport in 2018 and Acura ZDX in 2024.
