The Prologue is Honda’s first all-electric SUV, and like many other electric vehicles on the market, it’s available in FWD and AWD configurations. The AWD dual-motor Prologue adds a few thousand dollars to the price, and the range is reduced by a few percent. Drivers looking for faster acceleration or need to drive in inclement weather should opt for the more powerful dual-motor configuration. In terms of size, the Honda Prologue has dimensions close to the Passport.
Honda plans to develop its own EV platform in the future, but at the launch of the Prologue, it's using General Motors' Ultium platform. GM has quite a few years of experience making electric vehicles and had success with the Chevrolet Bolt, which was produced from 2017 to 2023.
Honda Prologue Generations
Honda Prologue (1st Generation: 2024 - Current)
The first-generation Honda Prologue has an 85 kWh lithium battery that provides close to 300 miles of range on a full charge. If the battery is fully depleted, recharging it on a level 2 (240-volt AC) charger at home will take approximately eight hours and at 34.1 miles of range per hour. When using a DC fast charger, the battery can replenish from 20% to 80% charge in 35 minutes at over 60 miles per 10 minutes. Although the economy varies by trim and motor configuration, expect to get around 100 MPGe.
The exterior and interior styling align with the rest of the Honda lineup and have just enough style to turn a few heads while driving around town. Like many electric vehicles, the Prologue is big on tech and features an 11-inch digital instrument display in lieu of a more traditional instrument cluster. There is also an 11.3-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system with Google built-in wireless phone connectivity via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Even with all the advanced technology in the Prologue, it’s nice to see that Honda is still using buttons and knobs for things like HVAC controls and audio volume.
Single motor models make 212 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque and put the power down through the front wheels. While the dual-motor models deliver a stout 288 horsepower and 333 lb-ft of torque through all four wheels. The range for single-motor models is 296 miles, and dual-motor models get slightly less range at 281 miles in most trims. The top-tier Prologue Elite has a lower mileage of 273 miles due to the larger 21-inch wheels compared to the 19-inch wheels on the other trim levels.
