Hybrid Tech Without Compromise

The Prelude isn’t just another hybrid — it’s the most driver-focused hybrid Honda has ever built. Under the hood, a highly efficient 2.0-liter DOHC Dual-VTC engine is paired with dual electric motors to create a powertrain that’s both quick and refined. Total system output hits 200 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque, with instant electric acceleration that feels planted and predictable through every corner.

But the Prelude takes it further with the debut of Honda S+ Shift — a new performance drive mode that simulates real gear changes and manual-style control. In S+ mode, paddle shifters allow drivers to call up simulated shifts, with the system delivering rev-matched downshifts and enhanced engine sounds for a more visceral, connected feel. No rubber-band effect. No lag. Just the kind of driving feedback enthusiasts expect — from a hybrid.

Honda’s Linear Shift Control is fully realized in the Prelude, delivering the smooth, intuitive behavior of a traditional transmission while keeping the fuel-saving benefits of an electrified drive system. Whether you’re daily driving or carving through mountain switchbacks, the Prelude’s hybrid setup responds with poise, precision, and just the right amount of edge.
