Hybrid Power With a Sporting Heart

The Prelude e:HEV will use Honda’s advanced hybrid system, combining electric responsiveness with the strength of petrol power. It delivers smooth transitions, instant torque and excellent fuel efficiency. The car is designed for those who enjoy driving, offering balance, precision and a truly engaging ride.

Unlike many modern hybrids focused only on economy, the Prelude e:HEV promises the soul of a sports car. With its low centre of gravity and agile suspension, it is built to handle every road with confidence.

Design Inspired by Heritage

Honda’s design team has carefully blended the past and the future. The Prelude e:HEV keeps the elegant proportions of the original, including the long bonnet and compact rear, but now features clean LED lighting and improved aerodynamics.

Inside, the cabin follows Honda’s latest minimalist approach. Expect a digital driver display, lightweight materials and a layout built for clarity and comfort. Every detail feels purposeful and modern.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed.
