Coupe d’état: New 2025 Honda Prelude is out to beat the Toyota GR 86 with hybrid power
AutoExec Summary
The 2025 Honda Prelude sports car reboot is set for production and a European launch in early 2024, with plans for an Australian debut. New images of the electrified Honda Prelude show a resemblance to the 2024 Tokyo concept, hinting at its concept car design. While Honda Australia has not confirmed the nameplate’s return, a trademark application suggests it will compete with the Toyota GR 86. The new Honda will feature the latest e:HEV powertrain technology, possibly the 2.0-liter e:HEV from the Accord. More details are expected after its Goodwood debut. Honda stated that the new Prelude will be a stylish and sophisticated hybrid model, paying homage to its heritage of cutting-edge technology.
