Canada Welcomes Back the Honda Prelude with an Electrified Twist

The Honda Prelude is back, and it’s bringing a thrilling hybrid-electric future to Canadian roads. Set to debut in late 2025, the sixth-generation Prelude sports coupe reintroduces a legendary nameplate to Honda’s lineup, combining iconic design with advanced electrification. Featuring Honda’s award-winning two-motor hybrid powertrain and the debut of the innovative Honda S+ Shift driving mode, the Prelude promises an electrifying “joy of driving” for enthusiasts and eco-conscious drivers alike.

This new Prelude, first previewed as a concept at major international auto shows, continues Honda’s 25-year tradition of hybrid-electric innovation. With a heritage of groundbreaking features like four-wheel steering and Active Torque Transfer System (ATTS), the new model builds on its predecessors’ reputation while looking firmly to the future. In this article, we’ll explore the Prelude’s return, its hybrid-electric performance, and what makes it a standout in Honda’s electrified lineup.

A Legacy of Innovation Meets Hybrid Power

First launched in 1978, the Honda Prelude captured the imagination of driving enthusiasts with its sporty styling and advanced technology. The sixth-generation Prelude carries this legacy forward, now powered by Honda’s celebrated hybrid-electric system.

The new two-motor hybrid powertrain, central to Honda’s electrification strategy, delivers a seamless blend of performance and efficiency. Coupled with the new Honda S+ Shift, this drive mode advances Linear Shift Control for an engaging and customizable driving experience. For fans of the Prelude’s spirited handling, the electrified model is set to deliver the same thrills, now enhanced by cutting-edge hybrid technology.

Electrification Milestones: Honda’s Strategy for a Sustainable Future

The Prelude’s hybrid-electric debut coincides with Honda’s broader electrification strategy, targeting carbon neutrality across its global operations by 2050. Hybrid-electric models are a key component of this vision, and Canadian drivers have embraced the shift. In 2024 alone, Honda Canada achieved record electrified vehicle sales, with hybrid trims representing over 50% of Accord and CR-V sales and the newly launched Civic Hybrid projected to dominate its segment.

Honda has also introduced its first all-electric SUV, the Honda Prologue, and continues to expand its lineup with the highly anticipated Honda 0 Series. By 2030, the company plans to unveil seven Honda 0 Series models globally, cementing its leadership in electrification.

Why the Prelude Matters

The 2025 Honda Prelude is more than a return to form—it’s a glimpse into the future of driving. For Canadian buyers, it combines nostalgic appeal with the practicality of hybrid efficiency. The addition of the S+ Shift mode ensures that each drive is tailored to the driver’s preferences, making it an ideal choice for those who crave both performance and sustainability.

As part of Honda’s growing electrified lineup, the Prelude reflects the brand’s commitment to innovation, aligning with Canadian drivers’ growing interest in greener, more efficient vehicles.
