REVIEW: 2024 HONDA PROLOGUE AWD - A BETTER BLAZER?

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Honda Prologue AWD Elite is reviewed as a more subdued, Honda-styled version of the Chevrolet Blazer EV, sharing its platform and many components. While it adopts Honda's design language externally, the interior retains significant GM carry-overs, including the steering wheel, climate controls, and shifter. A major advantage highlighted is the inclusion of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a feature absent in the Blazer EV, which the reviewer considers a significant draw for many buyers. However, the Prologue suffers from a smaller infotainment screen, a less intuitive wireless charging pad, and cheaper-feeling plastics in the rear door panels compared to the Blazer. Cargo space is also noted as surprisingly limited for its size, falling short of competitors like the CR-V and even some compact EVs. Driving dynamics are described as smooth and comfortable, with a softer suspension tune than the Blazer, aligning with typical Honda buyer expectations. Performance is adequate but slower than key rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ford Mustang Mach-E. The reviewer concludes that while the Prologue offers a more palatable design and essential smartphone integration, its high MSRP makes it uncompetitive against similarly priced or less expensive rivals like the Mustang Mach-E and Ioniq 5, which offer better overall packages.
