Exterior Design<\/h2>\n

\"Honda<\/a><\/p>\n

The all-new Prelude features a low, sharp front nose and smooth, yet expressive body lines, which contribute to the uplifting sensation of gliding through the air, as well as a low and wide stance that evokes a sense of dynamic driving.<\/p>\n

\"Honda<\/a><\/p>\n

The headlight design expresses the soaring momentum, consisting of a wing-like multifunction light which features finely molded stripes that ascend outward, as well as Adaptive Driving Beam and Active Cornering Light, which enhances visibility during nighttime driving.<\/p>\n

\"Honda<\/a><\/p>\n

A smooth and clean roofline was achieved by eliminating roof molding with the use of laser brazing technology to produce the roof and the adoption of a glass-printed antenna. \"Honda<\/a><\/p>\n

The blue accents at the lower center of the front and rear fascias create an elegant flow and the low and sporty stance of the vehicle, representing the grand concept of \u201cUnlimited Glide.\u201d In addition, the exterior styling features meticulous attention to detail, including the flush outer door handles and a black chrome grille louver.<\/p>\n

Interior design<\/h2>\n

\"Honda<\/a><\/p>\n

Design evoking the uplifting sensation of gliding through the air was also applied to the interior of the all-new Prelude, ensuring a comfortable space not only for the driver but the front passenger as well.<\/p>\n

\"Honda<\/a><\/p>\n

The front seats were designed differently to suit separate needs: the driver\u2019s seat is shaped to hold the driver firmly in place, making it suitable for sporty driving, while the passenger seat offers comfort together with just the right amount of feeling of being enveloped.<\/p>\n

The concept of the all-new Prelude was expressed with the main interior color option\u2014 two-tone Blue & White \u2014 a color coordination with a high contrast of white and deep blue.<\/p>\n

The interior design evokes a sense of exclusivity through its fine detailing, such as the softly shaded white surface material that makes it irresistible to touch, the embroidered Prelude logo that enhances the joy of ownership, and the door lining designed in consideration of smooth leg movement during ingress and egress.<\/p>\n

\"Honda<\/a><\/p>\n

Other unique interior design features, such as a low and horizontally expansive line of sight, a flat-bottom steering wheel, alloy paddle shifters, and full-graphic meters designed exclusively for Prelude, enhance a sense of anticipation for an exceptional driving experience this vehicle can offer.<\/p>\n

Package design<\/h2>\n

As a new-generation specialty car that offers new value to the customer, the all-new Prelude features a package design that achieves seemingly conflicting qualities \u2014specialty and versatility. In order to realize the proportions worthy of a specialty sports model with a wide, low and smoothly sculpted body, the ratio of the tire outer diameter to overall vehicle height was set at approximately 50%, which has been the standard for sports cars. The tread-to-wheelbase ratio, which greatly affects dynamic performance of the vehicle, was set to achieve both straight-line stability and high cornering performance, referencing sports models Honda has designed in the past.<\/p>\n

In addition, a cargo space, with a large liftback opening that makes loading and unloading easy, is spacious enough to accommodate two medium-size suitcases*1. The standard 60\/40 split rear seatbacks fold flat to greatly expand the available space, enough to accommodate larger items such as two golf bags with 9.5\u201d top*2 or two surfboards*3. Moreover, the cargo space offers remarkable utility and versatility, featuring an underfloor storage compartment, convenient hooks, and a cargo floorboard that can be folded and held in place to serve as a cargo space divider to separate items in the front and the rear part of the cargo hold.<\/p>\n
