2024 HONDA PROLOGUE | FIRST DRIVE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Honda Prologue marks Honda's significant entry into the all-electric SUV market, built on GM's Ultium platform. While the exterior design is praised for its aerodynamic efficiency and substantial proportions, the interior is noted for its spaciousness, particularly in the second row, and a practical mix of physical controls and modern tech like Google built-in. However, the interior design is described as sparse, with an overreliance on hard plastics, leaving the reviewer wanting more aesthetic flair. Performance is deemed adequate for daily driving, with the AWD Elite model offering 288 horsepower, though it lacks the exhilarating acceleration of some competitors. Handling is stable and comfortable, but the sport mode offers minimal dynamic enhancement. A key point of discussion is the vehicle's reliance on the GM platform, which is a one-off deal, with Honda planning future EVs on its own architecture. The reviewer highlights the competitive range (approaching 300 miles) and charging capabilities, as well as partnerships with Tesla, EVgo, and Electrify America for charging access. Despite some criticisms regarding interior design and the temporary nature of its platform, the Prologue is presented as a competent and spacious EV option for those prioritizing practicality and comfort.
