Honda is set to bring the Prelude’s S+ Shift system to the 2027 Civic Hybrid, expanding the technology’s presence beyond the revived coupe. The update was reported by Road & Track.
The reported change places a Prelude-linked feature in Honda’s mainstream hybrid hatchback and saloon family. The available information does not detail the system’s specifications or how it will be configured for the Civic Hybrid.
Honda will also introduce a Sport-L trim as a more premium non-hybrid Civic option. That addition gives buyers who do not want a hybrid drivetrain another choice higher in the conventional Civic line-up.
For drivers in Lithuania, the announcement should not be treated as confirmation of local availability, pricing or final European specifications. Those details will determine which versions, if any, reach the Lithuanian market and how they compare with existing hybrid and petrol alternatives for longer journeys.
