Sneak Peek at the Honda Prelude EV

By Jeff Gibbs

A production-ready electric concept has given us a glimpse of the revival of the Honda Prelude. The iconic coupe is poised to make a return in the form of a stylish electric coupe, showcased today in Japan.

During his address at the Japan Mobility Show, Honda’s CEO, Toshihiro Mibe, emphasized that the Prelude coupe concept provides a glimpse into the company’s strategy of electrifying its sports models. The Prelude Concept serves as a herald for forthcoming models that will encapsulate the “joy of driving” in an electrifed format, staying true to Honda’s legacy as a sporting brand.

Amidst discussions about Honda’s current and future mobility products, the Prelude Concept took centre stage as a distinctive sports model. This concept’s unveiling was part of a broader program in which Honda detailed its electrifcation plans, considering the anticipation surrounding the introduction of sportier models in its electric line-up.

Mibe emphasized that employing the Prelude badge isn’t merely an exploitation of a renowned name but rather serves as a true prelude to the unveiling of several sporting EVs in the months and years ahead. He stated, “The Prelude Concept is a specialized sports model designed to offer an exhilarating experience that compels you to keep going, delivering extraordinary excitement like never before.”

Now the question remains – will this new Prelude make its way to Australia, or will it be another electric Honda that remains out of reach for us Down Under?
