Honda Prelude Sales Hit 515 Units in 2026, Keeping Pace With Miata and BRZ

The new Honda Prelude appears to be off to a steady start in the United States. Despite mixed reactions online, early sales numbers suggest the hybrid sports coupe is performing exactly as Honda expected in its first months on sale.

Honda has sold 515 units of the Prelude so far in 2026. While that number may seem modest, it is right within the company’s target range for the niche sports coupe segment.

Honda Prelude Sales Off to a Steady Start in 2026

In February 2026 alone, Honda delivered 299 units of the Prelude in the US. The company initially aimed to sell around 300 to 400 units per month, meaning the model is currently tracking very close to Honda’s expectations.

If sales continue at this pace throughout the year, Honda should comfortably reach its projected annual target of roughly 4,000 units in the US market.

Prelude Competes Closely With Miata and BRZ

Model	February 2026	2026 Total
Mazda Miata	330	725
Honda Prelude	299	515
Subaru BRZ	277	515

The Prelude even managed to outsell the Subaru BRZ in February, although both models remain tied with 515 units sold in 2026 so far. The Mazda Miata currently leads the segment with 725 units delivered this year.

Demand Expected to Grow Through 2026

Sports cars typically see stronger demand during the warmer months, meaning Prelude sales could climb as spring and summer approach. While internet criticism questioned the car’s pricing and performance, early buyers appear interested enough to keep the coupe competitive in its segment.
