MALAYSIANS are in for a treat when they visit this year's Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show (KLIMS 2024).

Visitors will get a chance to be upclose with Honda's Prelude Concept which was first unveiled in Tokyo during the Japan Mobility Show 2023.

Not only is the car here in Malaysia for the first time, but it is also a first in Asia outside of Japan.

Designed to advance the “joy of driving” into an electrified future while staying true to company’s iconic sports DNA, the Prelude Concept offers an introduction to Honda’s future models.

What is known about the 2-door coupe is that it'll house a hybrid powertrain most likely in the form of the brand's e.HEV system while sharing components with the latest Civic and Accord. 

As part of the company's theme this year as "The Leader of Mobility", managing director and chief executive officer Hironobu Yoshimura said Honda Malaysia was offering Malaysians a glimpse into the future of mobility that Honda dreams of at KLIMS 2024.

“We are honoured to participate in the 10th edition of KLIMS, a milestone event for Malaysia’s automotive industry. Our theme this year resonates with the company’s goal to realise the joy and freedom of mobility with products that enable people to transcend constraints and augment their abilities and possibilities.

“In addition to expanding people’s life potential in the future, Honda Malaysia remains firmly focused on addressing the current needs of the Malaysian market. We continuously strive to deliver high-quality products across all segments to ensure the “joy of owning” a Honda as we transition to the era of electrification," said Yoshimura.

KLIMS 2024 is held at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) from Dec 5-11.
