2024 HONDA PROLOGUE FIRST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Honda Prologue marks Honda's significant entry into the US electric SUV market. The reviewer highlights its refreshingly normal exterior styling, a departure from overly futuristic EV designs, and notes its substantial 192-inch length. Inside, the cabin offers a familiar, user-friendly Honda layout with distinct screens and physical climate controls, a welcome feature for many. The Elite trim tested includes premium features like ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel. Driving impressions emphasize that the Prologue truly feels like a Honda, prioritizing a comfortable and user-friendly experience over aggressive performance, though Sport mode does enhance engagement. While cabin noise is noted as average for an EV, the ride comfort is praised, partly due to its long wheelbase. The Prologue offers competitive range, with the front-wheel-drive model boasting 296 miles, the longest standard range in its class. Charging infrastructure is supported by partnerships with major networks, including Tesla Superchargers. The integrated Google Maps with EV route planning and battery preconditioning is a standout tech feature. Downsides include the lack of a frunk and the higher starting price compared to some competitors, though this is offset by its larger passenger volume and longer standard range. Overall, the Prologue is presented as a sensible and well-rounded first EV offering from Honda.
