The Freelude exterior was designed with the concept of 'Unlimited Glide'. Honda explains that it is a model that expresses the world view in which a white glider glides between the blue sky and the sea.
In the past, Freelude (1978-2001) gained popularity as a two-door coupe with an internal combustion engine that gave driving fun. Loved by the so-called car of lovers. Freleud, which has been revived for the first time in about 25 years, has set a new challenge for electricity. First of all, it comes out as a hybrid car.
The flow that narrows from the front bumper to the rear through the side and the flow that falls from the rear fender to the front were crossed to maximize the dynamic. The back is a cheerful coupe, expressing its sleekness.

Overall, dynamic beauty attracts attention. The bonnet is low, and the loop line has a long silhouette at its core. Discarding the rear end of the loop 'sharkpin antenna' is another point that the development team insisted on to realize such a proposal.
Blue accents were placed in the center of the front and rear bumpers. Brake calipers are also blue to create a sense of blue sky and blue sea.
The first unveiled interior also expresses the sense of exaltation as if flying in the sky on a glider.
The instrument panel is designed with a horizontal stance, making the surface look continuous from the front fender to the door upper trim, giving it a cool feeling.
The first row driver's seat made it easier to concentrate on driving, and the passenger seat finished with soft materials to make it comfortable to ride for a long time and convenient to get on and off.
The Prelude prototype will be displayed at the Honda booth of "F1 TOKYO FAN FESTIVAL 2025," which will be held in Odaiba, Tokyo from April 4-6.
