Overview
The Honda Prelude is a C-segment, four-seat 2+2 coupé for drivers who want a two-door Honda with hybrid power rather than a conventional performance-car formula. Malaysia gets front-wheel drive, an eCVT automatic and the 2.0-litre e:HEV hybrid system in a single e:HEV variant, priced from RM278,000.

Honda Prelude buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Prelude takes a different route from the expected hard-edged two-door performance car. Its 203 PS hybrid system is not aimed at buyers chasing outright straight-line pace, but it brings hybrid power and S+ Shift to a four-seat 2+2 coupé format. At RM278,000, it costs far less than the RM623,800 BMW M2 Coupe, though they serve markedly different ideas of performance.
