Honda Revives Prelude with a Driver-focused Sports Coupe – Priced at ¥6,179,800
TOKYO – Honda has reintroduced the iconic Prelude, unveiling a speciality coupe designed to reignite the spirit of driving adn challenge enthusiasts.The new model,recently reviewed by AUTO MESSE WEB,delivers a surprising blend of agile handling and refined comfort,defying expectations with its eco-amiable tires and variable damper system.
The Prelude’s return marks a significant moment for Honda, signaling a renewed commitment to sporty vehicles in a market increasingly focused on practicality. The vehicle distinguishes itself not through aggressive power or stiff suspension, but through a meticulously balanced chassis and geometry. Reviewers note the car’s ability to transition seamlessly between elegant everyday driving and exhilarating performance on winding roads, likening its behaviour to a “butoh-goer dancer.”
“He stops his breathing and jumps into the winding road, and the steering responds smoothly as if he had a will,” reports AUTO MESSE WEB. “This is despite the tires being eco-friendly tires that focus on environmental performance.”
Key to the Prelude’s dynamic capabilities is a strong wheelbase to tread ratio and optimized caster angles, resulting in both straight-line stability and responsive turning. This design philosophy fosters a natural, intuitive driving experience, where grip and centrifugal force feel subtly managed rather than aggressively countered.
The 2025 Honda Prelude is available now with a vehicle price of ¥6,179,800. Honda positions the new Prelude as more than just a car, but as a call to action for drivers: “Do you still have the courage to try?” – a gift for those who embrace the joy and challenge of driving.
