Honda, a well-known Japanese brand in the automotive industry, has always been known for its unique design, innovative technology and premium performance. In recent years, with the popularization of the concept of environmental protection and the progress of the world, Honda has also continued to innovate in order to continuously meet consumers' pursuit of automobile quality and performance. Against this backdrop, Honda is about to recast the brand's classic, the Prelude, a splendor of the series.
The Prelude is Honda's classic coupe and has been attracting attention since its birth. It is not only a model, but also a symbol of the Honda spirit, which carries the fond memories and feelings of generations of fans. The return of the new Prelude, scheduled for 2024, will undoubtedly reignite the excitement in many hearts.
At the 2023 JMS (Japan Mobile Show), Honda unveiled the Prelude concept car for the first time, which attracted a lot of attention from the audience and **. This is not just a simple concept debut, but a significant sign of the intersection of brand power and the pulse of the times. From the first time of the concept car to the certainty that production is imminent, we can see Honda's unwavering confidence in the future prospects of this classic model.
In terms of design, the new generation of Honda Prelude inherits the classic pedigree and introduces more modern elements to inject new vitality. In its exterior design, the new front shape is new, and the design of the straight front face is impressive, which is more avant-garde and tough compared with the rounded lines of the past. The two-way headlights move upwards and are fully recessed to fit perfectly into the front of the car, creating a more structured and technical look. In terms of configuration, the use of light strips presents a futuristic design language, and the rich LED light source configuration also makes it a highlight on the street when driving at night.
The size of the body remains the same as that of a compact coupé with a length of around 4,300 mm, which makes it flexible in city driving. At the same time, compared to its competitors in the same class, the Honda Prelude seems to focus more on emphasizing power and spaciousness through a wide-body design. In the side design of the body, the new model abandons the obvious waistline, and instead adopts a wide-body body design in the front and rear positions, making the car more powerful as a whole.
Entering the rear, the tail box is still wide, and the LED taillights with multi-level three-dimensional shape provide a richer and more layered visual effect. Combined with the adjusted chassis diffuser, the sense of power of the whole vehicle is further amplified. In addition, the sporty attributes of the new Prelude have been emphasised accordingly, such as 20-inch blackened sports wheels and blue Brembo multi-piston calipers to give the car a more aggressive and sporty look.
As for the material of the body itself, in order to further reduce the weight of the vehicle and improve the performance, a large number of lightweight carbon fiber materials are used. This change is not only due to the upgrade of the exterior design, but also to Honda's relentless pursuit of making lightweight, high-performance sports cars.
In the interior design of the new generation Honda Prelude, we can also see a bold and forward-thinking design concept. The interior of the car adopts an ultra-modern style, and the use of a three-spoke steering wheel not only maintains functionality, but also shows a greatly improved sense of technology. In addition, the LCD dashboard design of the new car is also unique, accompanied by a large multi-screen in the center console, which pushes the sense of science and technology in the atmosphere of the car to a new height.
In terms of other interior designs, the Honda Prelude still borrows elements from classic models such as the Accord and Civic, making the entire interior space both familiar and new, without feeling too unfamiliar. As for the power configuration, the new model will be equipped with 2The 0L e:HEV hybrid engine is expected to produce a combined maximum horsepower of 200 hp, which is quite good for a compact sports car.
The comeback of Honda's prelude not only reflects Honda's inheritance and development of classics, but also demonstrates Honda's grasp of future automotive technology and market trends. As time progresses, mass production in 2024 removes layers of mystery and becomes more and more within reach. I believe that whether it is for old car fans who once regarded prelude as their favorite, or for a new generation of consumers who love the Honda brand and look forward to a new driving experience, this new prelude will be an irresistible**.
As details emerge and more information is revealed, there is reason to believe that this upcoming Honda prelude has more surprises in store for us. It is expected to be a new milestone in terms of drivability, design innovation and technical equipment, reaffirming Honda's position as a pioneer in the global automotive industry. Let's look forward to the magnificent return of this legendary model and the new sports car driving experience it brings.
