Honda Malaysia has officially opened bookings for the highly anticipated All-New Prelude, marking the historic return of an iconic nameplate.
As the first e:HEV hybrid sports coupe in the company’s local history, the All-New Prelude blends sleek, modern aesthetics with progressive hybrid performance ahead of its scheduled launch in the second quarter of 2026. Order books are now open for all enthusiasts to make their reservations.
The revival of the Honda Prelude represents a new era for the brand in Malaysia, showcasing its most advanced electrified mobility technology within a classic sports coupe silhouette. Positioned as a benchmark for hybrid performance, the All-New Prelude is engineered to deliver an exhilarating driving sensation without compromising on efficiency.
High-Performance e:HEV Powertrain
At the heart of the All-New Prelude is Honda’s advanced 2.0L e:HEV powertrain, which produces a combined output of 184 PS and 315 Nm of torque. This system is designed to provide:
Instant Acceleration: Utilizing dual electric motors for immediate throttle response.
Linear Power Delivery: Ensuring a smooth and progressive build-up of speed that mirrors a traditional performance engine.
Sophisticated Efficiency: Intelligently switching between electric, hybrid, and engine drive modes to optimize output across all conditions.
Debut of S+ Shift Technology
Making its first appearance in Honda Malaysia’s lineup, the All-New Prelude introduces S+ Shift Technology. This innovative system, integrated with Active Sound Control, simulates the tactical feel of gear shifts and enhances engine responsiveness.
A dedicated shift hold function further improves precision by allowing the vehicle to respond accurately to intended driving lines, providing multi-sensory feedback that heightens the connection between driver and machine.
Sleek, Functional Design
The All-New Prelude features a commanding yet elegant silhouette, measuring 4,522mm in length and just 1,355mm in height. Its aerodynamic exterior is defined by:
Laser-Brazed Roofline: A smooth, seamless finish that enhances the car’s premium look.
Sporty Accents: A Black Chrome Grille and subtle blue highlights on the front and rear bumpers.
Premium Hardware: 19-inch aluminum wheels paired with high-capacity Brembo brakes for superior stopping power.
Safety and Technology
Despite its performance-first nature, safety remains a priority. The All-New Prelude comes equipped with the full Honda SENSING suite, alongside a Blind Spot Information (BSI) system and Cross Traffic Monitor (CTM) to ensure maximum driver awareness on the road.
