Honda's hybrid car plan to ride emissions law wave

The interior of the eagerly awaited next-gen Honda Prelude has been revealed thanks to a Japanese YouTuber who has given us a glimpse into the cabin.When the Prelude concept made its debut in 2023 at the Tokyo mobility show it had blacked-out windows so the interior remained a mystery. It’s also highly unlikely it even had a finished interior at that point.Now thanks to Japanese YouTuber Unadon we’ve been given a guided tour inside the two-door 2+2 seater sports car and it's not quite as groundbreaking as we hoped.If anything the cabin, dashboard, controls and instruments are much the same as the cockpit in the current Honda Civic.Sure the new Prelude’s cabin is sporty and the two-tone sports seats with embossed Prelude headrests look modern and luxurious, but the climate control dials, honeycomb mesh air vents and steering wheel will all be familiar to anybody who has bought a Honda in the past few years.The rear seat is more or less a hard grey-coloured featureless bench without any form of obvious lateral support or even moulding for rear passengers.It’s unlikely the back seats will ever house the two people they’re designed to accommodate given the lack of space back there with the heavily sloped roofline and limited legroom. Unadon discovered how cramped it is when we ventured back there. There are also two ISOFIX points if child seats need to be installed.Unadon also gives us a look at the boot under the Prelude's liftback tailgate, revealing a small but deep area behind the rear seats that appears to be about 200 litres in capacity. He also folds the rear seats down to open up even more load carrying space.The Prelude, which is expected to make its European launch by the middle of 2025, will be hybrid only and use a petrol-electric system similar to the unit in the Civic. A manual transmission won't be available either.It's still not been confirmed for Australia, but our fingers are crossed.

Much like most other manufacturers, Honda’s stock levels have been up and down since the pandemic, and while supply has improved on some key models, it’s the hybrids and hot hatches that still have lengthy wait lists.

If you’ve bought a new car recently you’re probably aware of how insanely competitive the Australian new-vehicle market is. Right now there are just shy of 50 car brands all vying for your attention, and there are more on the way.

Honda has shown off a new 11th-generation Accord sedan in right-hand-drive form, leaving the door open for the refreshed Toyota Camry rival to come to Australia.

Honda says it will continue to offer traditional family-orientated passenger cars like the iconic Civic small car and Accord midsized sedan for the foreseeable future, even though the coming ZR-V midsized SUV is set to become the brand’s local bestseller.

Honda's range gets another tech boost overseas, but locals are left waiting for ZR-V, Jazz, and the new CR-V.
