Here’s the latest I can provide based on recent reports from the Philippines.
The all-new 2026 Honda Prelude officially launched in the Philippines with a price of 3.498 million Philippine pesos. Some dealers also offer the Moonlit White Pearl variant for a small premium, around 20,000–30,000 PHP depending on color and dealer policy. This pricing was reported by multiple local outlets in February–April 2026 as Honda Cars Philippines opened reservations and then disclosed the SRP.

The Prelude in PH uses a 2.0-liter hybrid system with around 139 hp from the gas engine and 181 hp from the electric motor, with a combined torque figure in the mid-300 Nm range. It also features Honda’s new S+ Shift technology and a supported extended warranty program (5-year/150,000 km base warranty plus an 8-year/160,000 km hybrid battery warranty). Availability includes local dealerships with order books open and pre-order channels active. [Sources: Top Gear Philippines 2026-02-26; Top Gear Philippines 2026-04-16] [cite ][cite ]
Other Philippine outlets echoed similar pricing and color options—Meteoroid Gray, Crystal Black Pearl, Racing Blue, Rallye Red, plus Moonlit White Pearl with premium. Booking requires a down payment (around 100,000 PHP) to reserve a unit. Exact color premiums vary by dealer. [Sources: CarGuide Philippines 2026-02-26; Manila Bulletin 2026-02-26] [cite ][cite ]
If you’d like, I can pull the latest dealer-specific quotes for your city in Buffalo, NY by comparing PH pricing to any similar US-market Prelude updates (if you’re curious about global pricing trends versus PH pricing). I can also summarize a quick pros/cons snapshot of the PH Prelude based on the cited reports.
The revived Prelude doesn't quite live up to the promise of its nameplate due to its lack of a manual transmission, it has an enticing combination of hybrid power, sporty handling, and hatchback practicality.
