If you’ve been waiting for a modern thrill machine with old-school soul, the 2026 Honda Prelude in St. John’s, NL, is finally here—and Steele Honda is bringing this icon back to local roads with serious flair. This isn’t just a comeback; it’s a revival of attitude, energy, and head-turning style, wrapped in a hybrid punch that feels right at home on winding routes.
The 2026 Prelude fires up with a 2-liter direct injection hybrid engine pushing out 200 hp and 232 lb.-ft. of torque. That means when you press the throttle to merge onto Pitts Memorial Drive, you’ll feel that electric-assisted surge pulling you forward with real intention. The low, sharp nose, wide stance, and sculpted silhouette aren’t just for show—they’re shaped by advanced aerodynamics to help you slip through the wind with purpose.
Agile Handling Assist™ steps in when you’re taking tighter curves or weaving through downtown streets, subtly applying brake pressure to help keep the car stable and planted. Pair that with the Adaptive Damper System and dual-axis strut suspension, and the Prelude hugs corners the way a sports coupe should. The S+ Shift System adds simulated gear changes and rev-matching, turning everyday drives into something spirited and lively.
Inside, visibility is excellent thanks to thin A-pillars, pedestal mirrors, and a low dash, making narrow roads or busy roundabouts feel less stressful. Synthetic leather with “cloud-like” texture and clean horizontal lines bring a refined gran touring vibe. The BOSE® 8-speaker setup, 9-inch HD touchscreen, wireless charging, and Google built-in let you cue up playlists, call friends, or check routes hands-free.
Safety tech packs in everything from Lane Keeping Assist to Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, Collision Mitigation Braking, and Traffic Sign Recognition—all working quietly to help keep you aware and confident.
Open the hatch, and you’ll find generous cargo flexibility for golf bags, weekend luggage, or grocery hauls. With heated leather-trimmed seats, a D-shaped wheel for sporty grip, and customizable drive modes, the 2026 Prelude brings back a legend with modern personality—ready to shine in St. John’s, NL.
