2024 HONDA PROLOGUE TOURING AWD VS CHEVROLET EQUINOX RS AWD

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Honda Prologue Touring AWD, built on GM's Ultium platform, is reviewed as a spacious and well-appointed electric SUV, though it shares significant DNA with the Chevrolet Blazer EV. The reviewer highlights its comfortable interior, ample passenger space, and a practical layout with physical climate controls, a feature often missed in competitors. However, the Headroom is noted as restrictive for taller individuals, especially with the panoramic sunroof. The reviewer found the light controls relegated to the touchscreen to be inconvenient. In terms of performance and range, the Prologue's 85 kWh battery and 288 hp AWD system deliver a rated range of 450 km. Real-world testing in single-digit temperatures showed highway consumption around 22 kWh/100km (approx. 385 km range) and hypermiling yielding over 15 kWh/100km (approx. 540 km range), placing it realistically between its official rating and the more powerful, less efficient Acura ZDX. The reviewer questions the value proposition of the top-trim Touring model at $69,000 compared to other options, while acknowledging the base EX trim offers better value. Despite being a rebadged GM product, the Prologue's sales advantage over its Blazer cousin is attributed to consumer confidence in the Honda brand and dealer network.
