The “Joy Of Driving” A Honda Continues With An Award Winning Two-Motor Hybrid Powertrain
Honda has revealed plans to introduce an all-new hybrid-electric Prelude sports coupe to the Canadian market by late next year, marking the return of one of the brand’s most iconic nameplates.
“The Honda Prelude has a storied history, joining Civic and Accord as one of the first three products in our lineup in the 1970s, its return will put a nostalgic smile on the faces of those that have fond memories of this iconic car,” said Emile Korkor, Assistant Vice President Honda Canada. “The Prelude is yet another exciting hybrid-electric model that we’re introducing as part of our commitment to an electrified future, joining the Civic, CR-V and Accord as part of our expanding hybrid lineup.”
The stylish new Prelude will feature Honda S+ Shift, an innovative drive mode that enhances Linear Shift Control, ensuring maximum driver engagement and honouring the legacy of the Prelude line.
Honda has established a worldwide goal to achieve carbon neutrality in all its products and corporate activities by 2050. To reach this target, the company’s vision is to ensure that battery-electric and fuel-cell electric vehicles make up 100% of its vehicle sales by 2040.
Hybrid-electric vehicles are essential to Honda’s electrification strategy, which includes equipping its core models with hybrid-electric powertrains. The company is marking 25 years of hybrid sales in North America.
In 2024, Honda Canada reached an all-time high in electrified vehicle sales, making up over 30% of the brand’s total sales. Hybrid-electric trims now account for more than 50% of Accord and CR-V sales, and the recently launched Civic Hybrid is expected to eventually make up around 60% of Civic sales. Cumulative sales of Honda electrified vehicles in North America have exceeded one million.
This month, Honda celebrates 25 years of hybrid sales in North America. The journey commenced with the introduction of the first-generation Honda Insight, North America’s groundbreaking hybrid-electric model, in December 1999.
This year, Honda unveiled the Honda Prologue, marking the brand’s debut in the all-electric SUV market. By late next year, Honda plans to begin production of its first EVs constructed on the innovative Honda EV platform at the Honda EV Hub.
