KYLE DRIVES HONDA PROLOGUE, GM REPORTEDLY KILLS SMALL PICKUP TO MAKE LARGE PHEV

EV Channels Review

Kyle Connor provides an in-depth first drive of the Honda Prologue, highlighting its strengths and significant weaknesses. He praises the vehicle's attractive design, comfortable and quiet ride, and spacious interior, noting it feels like a premium product. However, the review is heavily critical of the Prologue's lack of essential modern driver-assistance features, specifically the absence of lane centering, which is deemed a major oversight for a new vehicle in 2024, especially given its premium price point (over $55,000 for the Elite trim). Connor also points out the slower DC charging speed compared to competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the use of a smaller battery pack than its Chevrolet Blazer EV sibling. The primary concern raised by both Connor and Martin Lee is the Prologue's high price, estimated to be $7,000-$10,000 too expensive, making it a questionable value proposition against rivals like the Tesla Model Y and Hyundai Ioniq 5, even when factoring in potential five-year ownership costs. The consensus is that while it's a pleasant car to drive and a nice package, its pricing and feature set prevent it from being a compelling recommendation for many buyers.
