2026 HONDA PRELUDE
This model year
What the record shows
The 2026 Honda Prelude is a subcompact car, and the 46th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1981 to 2026.
The EPA rated one configuration: a single 2-litre four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic (variable gear ratios) and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 44 mpg.
The federal record holds 2 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
