At the 2026 Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS), Honda Cars Philippines reaffirmed its commitment and goal of delivering the best hybrid vehicles in the market right now. The new Honda logo was also shown for the first time. Resembling two outstretched hands, the new emblem will be used in all brand activities this year and rolled out to all Honda dealerships.
Looking new yet familiar, the new logo sends a message that Honda is still consistent in building reliable and feature-packed cars, but is also changing with the times.
Front and center at Honda’s display is the highly anticipated Prelude halo model. Equipped with the iconic Civic Type R’s suspension system and the acclaimed 2.0-liter e:HEV powertrain, the Prelude is simply the best of Honda in a sexy coupe body.
Sharing the stage are two of Honda’s popular crossovers—the CR-V RS e:HEV AWD and the HR-V RS e:HEV. The CR-V’s roomy cabin and advanced safety features make it equally suited for the daily commute and the weekend escape. While the HR-V’s sleek design makes it an ideal personal transport for those who want comfort and efficiency.
And let’s not forget the 2025 Top Gear Philippines Car of the Year winner, the Honda Civic RS e:HEV. This handsome compact car is a reminder that sedans are still relevant if you design them well, and give them a powertrain that puts a smile on the driver’s face.
As a nod to the Honda that many Filipinos have grown to love, a special City S CVT 30th Anniversary Pearl Edition is also on display. It has Berlina Black accessories that include a side under spoiler, trunk spoiler, door visor and front/rear under spoilers.
Last but not least, Honda Philippines gave a special preview of the Honda UC3, a fixed-battery two-wheeled electric scooter. You can expect this to arrive in July 2026. Also present is the head-turning Honda WN7, an electric motorcycle with 140km of range. This is scheduled to arrive in September 2026.
Honda chose substance over spectacle at this year’s PIMS, reminding us that as preferences shift and the world moves toward electrification, you can’t go wrong with a familiar brand and proven technology.
