2026 Honda Prelude

The 2026 Honda Prelude is a high-voltage resurrection of a legend, trading its old-school combustion roots for a cutting-edge hybrid soul. As your local performance hub at Tamaroff Honda—located in Southfield, just North of Detroit—we know that drivers in Royal Oak, Farmington Hills, and Birmingham demand a car that looks as fast as it feels. The 2026 Prelude delivers with a sleek, two-door fastback design and a chassis bred from the track-ready Civic Type R. Whether you’re attacking the curves near West Bloomfield or cruising the Lodge toward downtown Detroit, this is the grand touring machine the Motor City has been waiting for.

Interior

Inside the 2026 Prelude, you’ll find a driver-centric cockpit designed for pure immersion. The cabin features ultra-premium sport seats with racing-inspired head restraints and asymmetrical bolstering to lock you in during every high-G corner. A 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9.0-inch HD touchscreen with Google built-in provide a seamless digital command center, while wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep the clutter out of your workspace. With the standard 8-speaker Bose® Premium Sound System and the first-ever Honda S+ Shift paddle system, the cabin is engineered to turn every drive through the metro area into a visceral experience. It’s a sophisticated, 2+2 layout that perfectly balances sporty grit with premium comfort.

Exterior

The 2026 Prelude commands the road with a muscular, low-slung silhouette that honors its 40-year heritage while slicing through the modern air. Its "Neo-Rugged" athletic stance is emphasized by massive 19-inch Berlina Black alloy wheels and a wide front track borrowed from the Civic Type R. The aggressive front fascia features a black chrome grille and blue accents that signal its electrified heart, while the integrated rear spoiler and flat underbody maximize downforce for high-speed stability. Whether it's parked in a Southfield driveway or turning heads on Woodward Avenue, the Prelude projects a sleek, predatory image that’s impossible to ignore.

Performance

Under the hood, the 2026 Prelude is powered by a formidable two-motor hybrid-electric system, unleashing a combined 200 horsepower and an instant 232 lb-ft of torque. This isn't just about fuel-sipping; it’s about a 6.0-second sprint to 60 mph and a chassis packed with Type R DNA. We’re talking dual-axis MacPherson strut front suspension, Brembo® 4-piston aluminum front calipers, and an Adaptive Damper System that adjusts to the Michigan pavement in real-time. With four dynamic drive modes—Comfort, GT, Sport, and Individual—and an estimated 44 combined MPG, you have the power to dominate the highway or the backroads without ever looking for a charging station.

Safety Features

A true performance icon always watches its six. Every 2026 Prelude comes standard with the full Honda Sensing® suite, a digital fortress of protection built for the unpredictable nature of Detroit traffic. You’re backed by the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, and Lane Keeping Assist. Standard Blind Spot Information and a Post-Collision Braking system provide a continuous layer of security, while the high-strength ACE™ body structure ensures a rugged foundation. It’s the ultimate backup for the modern driver, providing peace of mind whether you're navigating a Southfield rush hour or a rainy night on the I-696.
