The upcoming 2026 Honda Prelude is probably one of the most polarizing cars in recent memory. The internet has been plenty vocal about its front-wheel-drive setup, hybrid powertrain, and lack of a manual transmission. Now there’s one more thing the masses are bound to complain about: Its price.

 

The 2026 Honda Prelude starts at $43,195 with the mandatory $1,195 destination fee included. Not exactly a bargain by modern two-door standards. But Honda does have some justification for the relatively high price tag.
