What are the 2026 Honda Prelude Hybrid’s specs and mpg?
The 2026 Honda Prelude is a hybrid with 200 horsepower, and Honda’s published specifications list seating for four. The EPA’s certified figures for the base hybrid, front-wheel drive, are 46 mpg city, 41 mpg highway and 44 mpg combined.
Those certified numbers are the ones on the window sticker, so you can compare them directly with other cars on the lot. Honda lists 42.3 inches of legroom in row one and 15.1 cubic feet of cargo behind row two. Fuel economy and cargo room are the first two numbers most Oklahoma City commuters check, and both are set by the maker, not by the dealer.
What trims does the 2026 Honda Prelude come in, and what does each cost?
The base 2026 Prelude hybrid starts at $42,000 MSRP, the manufacturer’s published starting price. Use that number as the baseline for every quote you receive.
Compare any out-the-door quote against that $42,000 starting point. Anything above it should be a line you can name, such as tax, fees or an add-on you chose.
What sits between the Prelude’s MSRP and the price you pay in Oklahoma City?
The sticker price starts the total, and Oklahoma adds its own taxes and fees on top. Under Oklahoma Statutes, Title 68, Section 2103 (2026), a new vehicle carries a motor vehicle excise tax of 3.25% of its value. Under Oklahoma Statutes, Title 68, Section 1355(2) (2023), a 1.25% sales tax sits on top, and with a trade-in that sales tax applies only to the difference between the trade-in’s value and the price of the car you buy.
Service Oklahoma (2026) lists a Vehicle Title Fee of $11.00 and a Transfer Fee of $17.00 among the initial fees due when a vehicle changes hands, plus a $1.50 Insurance Fee and a $4.00 VIN Inspection Fee. Ask for the whole quote itemized before you sign, so every line is clear.

What should you ask for in an itemized Prelude quote?
Ask for each line on the quote: the vehicle price, Oklahoma’s excise and sales tax, title and registration charges, the dealer documentary fee, and any accessories. Oklahoma puts no dollar ceiling on a dealer documentary fee. Oklahoma New Motor Vehicle Commission, ONMVC Advertising Rules (07-26), OAC 465:15 (2026), bars a dealer from stating or implying that a dealer-added fee is required by law or by any government agency, so ask what each fee covers before you sign.
