I DRIVE HONDA'S NEW ELECTRIC SUV FOR THE FIRST TIME! PROLOGUE FULL TOUR, SOFTWARE, & ROAD TEST

EV Channels Review

The Honda Prologue, a first-time drive review, highlights its strong value proposition, with an estimated price of $40,000 after tax credits for the base model and $48,000 for the top-tier Elite AWD trim. Reviewers praise its pleasing exterior styling, which they find superior to the Chevrolet Blazer EV, and a clean, spacious interior, particularly appreciating the light-colored interior option. Positives include a comfortable ride, good passenger legroom, and a premium feel to the switchgear. However, a significant drawback is the heavy reliance on GM's Ultium platform and software, leading to a driving experience that feels distinctly like a GM product rather than a Honda. Specific criticisms include a slow steering rack, a lack of lane centering in the driver assistance systems, and a somewhat shallow cargo area. The reviewer also notes potential issues with the 12-volt battery and expresses disappointment with the overly complicated charging programs and the inability to see the state of charge in percentage while driving. Despite these points, the Prologue is seen as a practical, well-packaged SUV that could attract new buyers to the Honda brand.
