The “Joy Of Driving” A Honda Continues With An Award Winning Two-Motor Hybrid Powertrain
Honda announced that an all-new hybrid-electric Prelude sports coupe will be launched in the Canadian market late next year, bringing back one of the brand's most iconic nameplates to the lineup.
The sleek new Prelude will introduce Honda S+ Shift, an innovative drive mode that enhances Linear Shift Control to provide maximum driver engagement, staying true to the heritage of the Prelude line.
“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.”
Honda has set a global objective to attain carbon neutrality across all its products and corporate activities by 2050. In pursuit of this goal, the company's vision is to ensure that battery-electric and fuel-cell electric vehicles account for 100% of its vehicle sales by 2040.
Hybrid-electric vehicles play a crucial role in Honda's electrification strategy, which involves outfitting its core models with hybrid-electric powertrains. The company is celebrating 25 years of hybrid sales in North America.
In 2024, Honda Canada achieved record electrified vehicle sales, now comprising over 30% of the brand's total sales. Hybrid-electric trims currently constitute more than 50% of Accord and CR-V sales, and the newly introduced Civic Hybrid is anticipated to eventually represent about 60% of Civic sales. Cumulative sales of Honda electrified vehicles in North America have surpassed one million.
This month, Honda marks 25 years of hybrid sales in North America. The journey began with the launch of the first-generation Honda Insight, North America's pioneering hybrid-electric model, in December 1999.
This year, Honda introduced the Honda Prologue, the brand's inaugural all-electric SUV. Looking ahead, late next year, Honda will commence production of its first EVs built on the newly developed Honda EV platform at the Honda EV Hub.
