A car with an exclusive exterior and interior design that can also offer exceptional dynamics. The prelude became shorter, wider and lower. There were no protruding headlights on the outside, the rear end was rounded and raised quite high. The glass sunroof has been replaced with a metal sunroof and this time it does not slip into the body, but goes out into the field, thus performing the function of a spoiler, as a result of which the air noise is reduced. The suspension uses Honda’s famous two-link system, perfect for sporty driving. Inside, there is an impressive instrument panel that runs evenly across the entire width of the car and has electronic instrument indicators in the center of the panel. The car has a weight distribution of 58% for the front and 42% for the rear. It is one of the few cars in the world to have a four-wheel drive system (4WS), only this time it has been changed to electronic. The most powerful version features an atmospheric high-revving 2.2 L DOHC VTEC H22a1 engine with an impressive 190 hp (143 kW) / 6800 rpm. The fourth-generation Prelude shares some suspension components with the fifth-generation (1994-97) Honda Accord. The Prelude descended in popularity over the more dynamic though simpler Civic and Integra models, while the more luxurious NSX and later-appearing S2000 once again surpassed the Prelude in its power. But the Prelude stands out with a great compromise that combines style, great quality and dynamism. This model is extremely popular among Honda enthusiasts who like to redesign and improve their car. The Prelude is perfectly assembled, high quality, economical enough, fast, extremely fun to drive and so reliable that even after a decade it will ride great. Even today, its design does not look outdated. There seem to be several drawbacks - lack of space on the rear mini seats and a small luggage compartment.
