2024 HONDA PROLOGUE - POV FIRST DRIVING IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Honda Prologue is presented as Honda's first mass-market EV, sharing significant DNA with the Chevrolet Blazer EV. While it offers a comfortable and competent family hauling experience with ample space, good technology (including wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto), and a comprehensive suite of safety features standard across trims, it notably deviates from the expected Honda driving feel. Reviewers found the steering to be lifeless yet quick, and the ride firm, especially with the 21-inch wheels, leading to noticeable road intrusion. The powertrain, while offering 288 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque in the AWD Elite trim, is described as subdued rather than exhilarating, with power falling off significantly above 60 mph. Real-world range appears to be around 200 miles, less than Honda's claims, influenced by driving conditions. The interior, while functional, heavily features GM switchgear, which may disappoint brand loyalists seeking a distinct Honda experience. The Touring trim is recommended as the sweet spot, offering most desirable features without the premium cost of the Elite, which adds ventilated seats and larger wheels.
