Honda Malaysia has introduced the “Hybrid Done Right” campaign from 1-April to 30-June 2026, coinciding with the opening of bookings for the all-new 2026 Honda Prelude ahead of its planned Q2 2026 launch. The Prelude marks the first e:HEV hybrid sports coupe in Honda Malaysia’s lineup and introduces S+ Shift technology to the country.

Narushi Yazaki, Managing Director and CEO of Honda Malaysia, said, “Honda’s hybrid technology has always been developed with a clear focus – to ensure performance, efficiency, and reliability that customers can confidently depend on every day. At the same time, we believe electrification should not compromise driving enjoyment. Our e:HEV system is engineered to deliver a smooth yet responsive drive, staying true to Honda’s DNA of fun driving. With this innovative system, our hybrid models provide instant torque and seamless acceleration, creating a driving experience that is both engaging and refined. This reflects our commitment to making electrified mobility not only practical and efficient, but also enjoyable for our customers.”

The e:HEV powertrain is currently available across the City, City Hatchback, HR-V, Civic, and CR-V in Malaysia.

What about the all-new Honda Prelude?

The all-new Prelude is powered by a 2.0-litre e:HEV system producing 184 PS and 315 Nm of torque. It is the first Honda model in Malaysia to feature S+ Shift technology, which works in conjunction with Active Sound Control to simulate gear shifts and sharpen throttle response through coordinated inputs between the engine and dual electric motors. A shift hold function is also included for more precise driver control.

The Prelude measures 4,522 mm long, 1,880 mm wide, and 1,355 mm tall on a 2,605 mm wheelbase. Design highlights include a smooth roofline achieved through laser brazing, flush door outer handles, a black chrome grille, and subtle blue accents on the front and rear bumpers.

Lighting consists of LED headlights and LED rear combination lights with a red lens, along with enhanced active cornering lights. It rides on 19-inch aluminium wheels with Brembo brakes.

Safety equipment includes Honda SENSING, Blind Spot Information (BSI), and Cross Traffic Monitor (CTM).
