Road Test

The new Honda Prelude is at its best when the road gets twisty. Its sharp handling, communicative steering, and super-strong brakes inspire confidence through challenging corners and make it genuinely fun to drive. We also like the smoothness and fuel economy of the Prelude’s hybrid powertrain. Plus, Honda continues to equip its vehicles with easy-to-use controls, bucking the touchscreen-everything trend. But at $42,000 before the destination charge and options, the Prelude falls within the same price range as some entry-level luxury cars.
