The 2027 Honda Prelude returns as a 200-hp hybrid coupe rated 46 MPG city with a standard Bose audio system and Google built-in. No gasoline-only option exists. The e:HEV two-motor hybrid is the sole powertrain for every Prelude. This page answers the most common buyer questions, with current inventory available at Burleson Honda.
The 2027 Prelude uses Honda's e:HEV two-motor hybrid system, built around a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine. The electric motor produces 181 hp at 5,000-6,000 rpm, and total system output is 200 hp with 232 lb-ft of torque available from 0 rpm. There is no non-hybrid powertrain offered on this model in the U.S.
The EPA rates the 2027 Prelude Hybrid at 46 MPG city, 41 MPG highway, and 44 MPG combined. The 10.6-gallon fuel tank means most drivers in the Burleson area will make relatively few stops at the pump compared to a traditional sport coupe.
No. The 2027 Honda Prelude runs on regular unleaded gasoline.
The Prelude uses an e-CVT paired with Honda S+ Shift. S+ Shift is a paddle-shifter system that simulates a dual-clutch gearbox experience. Four drive modes are available: Comfort, GT, Sport, and Individual. Alloy paddle shifters are mounted to the steering column.

One trim is offered for the 2027 Prelude Hybrid. A Hybrid Two-Tone variant (with a black roof treatment) is also available at a slight premium over the standard Hybrid.
Two exterior colors are confirmed for the 2027 Prelude: Winter Frost Pearl and Meteorite Gray Metallic. The Two-Tone variant pairs either color with a black roof.
