HERE'S WHY I'M CONCERNED FOR THE 2024 HONDA PROLOGUE EV (BUY A CR-V HYBRID INSTEAD?)

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Honda Prologue EV is met with significant concern from the reviewer, primarily due to its General Motors underpinnings and pricing strategy. While acknowledging the Prologue's competitive standard range (296 miles for the base FWD model) and attractive styling, the reviewer highlights that it's essentially a rebadged GM Ultium platform vehicle, raising questions about Honda's commitment to its own EV architecture. The pricing is a major sticking point, with the base Prologue costing $5,000 more than a Tesla Model Y, which offers better performance and access to the Supercharger network. The reviewer also points out that higher trims of the Prologue are significantly more expensive than comparable, and in some cases better-performing, EVs like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Tesla Model Y. The video strongly suggests opting for the Honda CR-V Hybrid instead, citing its substantial cost savings ($11,500-$15,000 less) and excellent driving experience, or considering alternatives like the Ioniq 5 or Model Y for a more compelling EV package. The reviewer expresses anticipation for Honda's proprietary EV platform, expected in 2026, suggesting the Prologue and Acura ZDX are interim, compliance-focused vehicles.
