SHOULD YOU BUY A 2025 HONDA PROLOGUE? THOROUGH REVIEW BY A MECHANIC

EV Channels Review

This mechanic's review of the 2025 Honda Prologue highlights significant concerns, primarily stemming from its rebadged GM origins (specifically the Blazer EV). While acknowledging the sophisticated thermal management system and the well-designed, accessible heat pump components, the reviewer points out numerous drawbacks. These include the extensive use of plastic coolant hoses, questionable brake line routing, and a general lack of Honda-like build quality and fit-and-finish, which is described as typical GM. The interior, though comfortable, feels generic and lacks the Honda identity, with an awkwardly integrated infotainment screen. The reviewer criticizes the "badge tax," stating the Prologue is more expensive than the Blazer EV, offers less range, and essentially represents Honda "checking a box" rather than a genuine commitment to EV development. Despite being a "decent" electric car, the reviewer concludes it's a major disappointment for Honda enthusiasts and recommends considering the original GM product for better value and range.
