What’s new for the 2027 Honda Prelude? What Egg Harbor Township buyers should know

Honda’s published figures set the 2027 Honda Prelude’s price, EPA ratings and equipment, and the changes from 2026 are small. Boardwalk Honda in Egg Harbor Township sells the Prelude new, takes test drive reservations online or by phone, and can place a factory order or reserve an in-transit unit in the trim or color you want.

Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Egg Harbor Township. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.

How much is the 2027 Honda Prelude, and what changed from 2026?

Honda lists the 2027 Prelude Hybrid at a starting MSRP of $42,400, and the Hybrid Two-Tone at $42,900 (Honda, 2027). CarsDirect reports no changes to the Prelude coupe for 2027 compared with the prior model year (CarsDirect, 2026).

For a buyer weighing a 2027, the decision turns on trim, color and how you order the car. New Jersey taxes and fees add to the starting figure, and the state’s amounts are worked through in full in the New Jersey section.

What engine and EPA fuel economy does the 2027 Honda Prelude have?

The 2027 Prelude Hybrid is rated at 44 mpg combined by the EPA (fueleconomy.gov, 2027). Its hybrid system makes 200 horsepower in total, from a 2.0-liter engine rated at 141 horsepower (Honda Information Center, 2027).

The EPA rates the car at 46 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway (fueleconomy.gov, 2027). The city rating is higher than the highway rating, so the car does its best work in stop-and-go traffic. If most of your driving is on open highway, that 41 mpg figure is the one to plan around.

What comes standard on the 2027 Honda Prelude?

The Prelude runs on a latest-generation two-motor hybrid powertrain, which Honda lists as standard engineering on both the Hybrid and the Hybrid Two-Tone (Honda Sales Tool Media, 2027).

Honda’s features-by-trim list covers engineering, safety, Honda Sensing, convenience, interior, exterior and technology equipment for both trims (Honda Sales Tool Media, 2027). Read that list for your exact trim before you order, so you know what comes with the car and what you would add.

How many people and how much cargo does the 2027 Honda Prelude hold?

The 2027 Prelude seats four people in both the Hybrid and the Hybrid Two-Tone (Honda, 2027). Cargo volume is 15.1 cubic feet (Honda Newsroom, 2026).

Four seats is the right fit for a buyer who mostly drives alone or with one passenger. If you regularly carry more people than that, a larger Honda in our lineup is the better route, and we can show you both.

Can Boardwalk Honda order a 2027 Prelude in the trim and color you want?

Yes. We offer custom factory orders for new Hondas, so you can ask for the trim and color you want. If that exact combination is not on the lot, we can help reserve an in-transit new model.

Test drives can be reserved online or by phone before you visit. Boardwalk Honda sells the Prelude alongside the Odyssey, Ridgeline, CR-V, Accord, Prologue, Civic, HR-V, Pilot and Passport, so you can compare the Prelude with the other new Hondas in one visit.

What New Jersey taxes and fees add to a new Honda Prelude price?

New Jersey charges a 6.625% sales tax on the purchase price of a new vehicle (New Jersey Division of Taxation, 2026). Hypothetically, a $42,400 sale would carry $2,809 in sales tax at that rate.

The title fee is $60 for a standard title, $85 when one lien is recorded and $110 when two liens are recorded (New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, 2026).

A New Jersey dealership handles registration and title work for the buyer, and new vehicles that have never been titled receive a four-year registration (New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, 2026). New Jersey also adds a one-time 0.4% fee on new passenger automobiles priced at $45,000 or more, or rated below 19 miles per gallon (New Jersey Division of Taxation, 2026). The Prelude is rated 44 mpg combined, so the fee turns on whether its sales price reaches $45,000.

How do I compare a dealer’s asking price with Honda’s MSRP?

Start with the MSRP, which Honda lists as a starting price for the 2027 Prelude. A dealer’s advertised price should be the price any buyer can pay, excluding only charges the government requires the buyer to pay directly (Greenbaum, 2026). A dealer can list the MSRP only if it appears less prominently than the actual price that includes all mandatory non-government fees (NADA, 2026).
