The 2027 Honda Prelude Bordeaux Edition adds Premium Crystal Garnet Metallic paint, red exterior accents, red Brembo brake calipers and a Bordeaux leather-appointed cabin, priced at $67,000 driveaway in Australia.

Orders are now open, from 16 November 2026, with a limited number available. Honda has not disclosed the size of the allocation.

The special edition costs $2,000 more than the $65,000 driveaway launch price of the Prelude hybrid coupe, which returned to Australia in May 2026.

Exterior changes include red front and rear bumper accents, a body-coloured upper grille and 19-inch alloy wheels finished in Cutting Black Clear. The brake calipers are red at both ends.

Inside, the heated front seats combine Bordeaux and black leather-appointed upholstery with two-tone stitching, while the rear seats retain black fabric. Bordeaux trim also covers the centre console, door linings and centre dashboard, which carries an embroidered Prelude nameplate. Red stitching features on the leather steering wheel.

The Bordeaux Edition is mechanically unchanged, retaining a 2.0-litre four-cylinder hybrid powertrain with outputs of 135kW and 315Nm, paired with an e-CVT.

Honda's S+ Shift system simulates automatic gear changes through changes to engine sound and throttle response, including rev-matching effects. Paddle selectors and multiple drive modes are also fitted.

Combined fuel consumption is rated at 4.3L/100km under ADR 81/02 testing, with CO2 emissions of 98g/km. The Prelude uses 91 RON petrol and has a 40-litre fuel tank.

Adaptive dampers, dual-axis strut front suspension and a multi-link rear layout are retained. The front brakes use 350mm ventilated discs with four-piston Brembo calipers, while the rear discs measure 305mm.

The four-seat coupe has a 264-litre boot measured under the VDA standard, expanding to 760 litres with the rear seats folded and luggage loaded to the roof.

The 2027 Toyota GR86 GTS automatic has a lower advertised price at $46,090 before on-road costs, compared with the Prelude Bordeaux Edition's $67,000 driveaway, though the two figures use different pricing bases. Its 2.4-litre flat-four petrol engine produces 174kW and 250Nm, offering more power but less torque than the Honda, while combined fuel consumption is higher at 8.8L/100km.

The 2027 Subaru BRZ S automatic also has a lower advertised price, at $49,190 before on-road costs versus $67,000 driveaway for the Honda. Its 2.4-litre flat-four produces 174kW and 250Nm, again exceeding the Prelude's power but not its torque, with combined fuel consumption of 8.8L/100km.

Honda covers the Prelude with a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty and an eight-year hybrid battery module warranty. The ownership package also includes five years of roadside assistance and five services priced at $199 each.

Servicing is scheduled every 12 months or 10,000km. The Bordeaux Edition's changes are confined to its presentation, with no increase in power or change to the hybrid drivetrain.
