We’re about to get behind the wheel of the all-new and not-all-Honda 2024 Honda Prologue. Like everything else these days, it’s a compact-to-midsize electric crossover, but it really isn’t quite that simple. You see, the Prologue is Honda’s first dedicated electric vehicle, and as its name suggests, it is sort of a precursor to Honda EVs to come.
Anyway, before we drive it around a very rainy Napa, California, we want to know what you want to know about it. What queries do you have about the 2024 Prologue? What burning questions about this medium-sized crossover are keeping you up at night? What unknowns about the Prologue are wrecking your life because you can’t get them out of your head? That’s what we want to know.
Before we all set off on this Prologue journey, let’s get some of the boilerplate stuff out of the way. First of all, this CUV may wear a Honda badge, but underneath it is running on the same Ultium architecture that underpins most of GM’s much-maligned electric vehicles. Perhaps the engineers at Honda did a little magic to make it not, let’s just say, unreliable. We’ll find out.
Right off the bat, the Prologue looks like a better value than the Blazer EV. Including $1,395 for destination, the 2024 Prologue starts at $48,795, undercutting its platform sibling’s price by nearly $9,000. Still, it’ll be not only the most expensive vehicle Honda sells in the U.S., but the most expensive vehicle it has ever sold here.
At launch, Honda will offer three different Prologue trims: EX, Touring and Elite. The base EX will get you a front-mounted single motor with 212 horsepower and 296 miles of range. Next up we’ve got the Prologue EX dual motor, which will set you back $51,785. For that money, you get an all-wheel-drive setup with 288 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque, but range drops to 281 miles. Next we’ve got the Prologue Touring, which is available with identical drivetrain options to the EX and will set you back anywhere between $53,095 and $56,095. Finally, we’ve got the top dog, the Prologue Elite, which starts at $59,295. It’s only available in the dual-motor configuration, and it comes with 273 miles of range.
Every Prologue gets an 85-kWh battery, 11-inch screens and DC fast charging at up to 150 kW, among other things. (I don’t want to spoil too much just yet.) Honda says that charging capability is enough to get 65 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
So, that’s what we know about the Honda Prologue right now. What else do you want me to cover in my drive? Let me know down below.
