2024 Honda Prologue Cost And Options Explained

Honda’s first foray into the electric vehicle (EV) space in the North American market came in the form of the Honda Fit EV back in 2012. Since then, the Japanese automaker has focused its electrification efforts on its range of hybrid vehicles. It’s only now in 2024 that you can buy an electric Honda for yourself in the form of the Prologue, an electric crossover SUV that’s inherently a GM product due to the Ultium battery and BEV3 platform that it shares with the 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV.

The Prologue is the latest offering in the electric SUV segment. And, with six trims on offer, here’s what the lineup looks like and how much it costs.

The 2024 Honda Prologue Starts At $47,400 Before Tax Credits

It Tops Out At $57,900

Honda has always been known to offer excellent value for money with its cars and the new 2024 Honda Prologue is no exception. There are six variants to choose from, and all of these offer a good number of features and performance for their MSRPs. It also must be noted that by opting for the Prologue, you also get a vehicle that has a lower base price compared to the Blazer EV–which is its mechanical twin.

It Effectively Starts At Under $40,000

Just how much value do you get out of the Honda Prologue? A lot actually for its base price of $47,400. However, put the $7,500 Federal Tax Credit from the Inflation Reduction Act into the equation, and you’re looking at a Honda electric crossover SUV for just $39,900. That’s a heck of a value for an electric crossover SUV with a good amount of range, which we’ll be getting into detail later. It must be noted, though, that a Tesla Model Y starts at just $36,490 with the $7,500 Federal Tax Credit taken into account.

296 Miles Of Range Comes As Standard

Just how much range do you get for your 2024 Prologue? Well, with 296 miles of EPA-estimated range right off the bat, the Prologue has one of the longest ranges in its segment. The Model Y, however, can do 310 miles and the Blazer EV RS can do even more at 324 miles, though the Chevrolet RS-badged twin is much more expensive.

The 296-mile range, however, is for the front-wheel drive (FWD) models with 212 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. Splurging for the dual-motor AWD with 288 horsepower and 333 pound-feet of torque reduces the range to 281 miles in the Touring AWD or 273 miles in the Elite AWD due to its larger 21-inch wheels. With an 85 kWh lithium-ion battery, the Prologue accepts up to 11.5 kW in AC, and 155 kW in DC fast charging. You’ll also probably be glad to know that there aren’t any optional extras to talk about, so selecting the Prologue you desire is as simple as it could get.

No Shortage Of Equipment

This is a Honda we’re talking about, so it won’t be a surprise to find out that you do get a generous serving of features whichever of the six variants you choose. It also certainly helps that the Prologue is a fundamentally great-looking electric crossover SUV, to begin with, even with its simple looks.

Simple But Timeless Exterior

The 2024 Honda Prologue’s design is simple and understated yet well-proportioned. It follows Honda’s current design language that’s characterized by a look that’s meant to age well, as opposed to following a current design trend like the Equinox EV.

Admittedly, however, the simple design calls for larger wheels to look proportional, because while all variants come with features such as LED exterior lighting, as well as keyless entry and start, just to name a few, the EX and Touring only come with 19-inch wheels, which look a wee bit tiny relative to its chunky body. It’s only when you get the range-topping Elite variant that features the nicer 21-inch wheels.

Apart from these exterior features, nothing much else separates the three variants, apart from the LED foglights, welcome light for the powered tailgate’s kick sensor, and roof rails that are standard in the Touring and Elite. Unique to Elite, however, are the aforementioned 21-inch wheels and the wing mirror-mounted puddle lamps.

An Interior Focused On Ergonomics

Like the exterior, the interior of the 2024 Honda Prologue won’t wow you that much. It’s once again focused on simplicity just like the rest of the Honda range, though this is where you’ll start to spot a few pieces that are from the GM parts bin.

While the interior quality is pretty good with nice, soft-touch materials, gloss black trims in just a few areas, as well as some nice contrast stitching, some of the switchgear such as the door handles and the side panel buttons are straight out of GM land. It’s also an interior that’s perhaps too simple without much of a sense of style, but where it lacks in style, it makes up for simplicity and ergonomics due to the numerous physical controls and knobs that make interior operation a lot easier.

Once again, the two screens that consist of an 11-inch digital gauge cluster and an 11.3-inch infotainment system are running a reskinned version of GM’s latest Google-based operating system. The said infotainment comes with both wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. The seats, by the way, are trimmed in fabric and come with heating and driver-only power adjustment for the base EX.

Opting for the Touring and above gives you leather upholstery in the seats and steering, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a panoramic moonroof, power adjustment for the front passenger’s seat, and a 12-speaker Bose sound system. Lastly, the poshest Elite gets front seat ventilation, LED mood lighting in the footwells, doors, and cupholders, and a head-up display.

Why The 2024 Honda Prologue Is Worth Considering

The 2024 Honda Prologue is all about simplicity and ease of use, which is a hallmark that Honda has always been known for. The competitive pricing and easy-going nature of the Prologue means that it’s an electric crossover SUV that feels as normal as it can get.

The Touring Is What We’d Recommend

Depending on your budget, there’s a Prologue to satisfy your needs, but the sweet spot for us is the Touring variant, as it gets most of the features you need, along with well-balanced pricing. What’s also worth noting is that the Honda has one ace up its sleeve compared to the Chevrolet Blazer EV, which is why you probably won’t regret splurging for the Honda.

The Prologue Also Has More Standard ADAS

That’s because while the Blazer EV gets a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) as standard, stuff like adaptive cruise control is still an optional extra. That’s not the case for the Honda Prologue, where every ADAS system is part of the Honda Sensing safety suite. It’s only stuff like front parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, as well as Rear Pedestrian Alert that isn’t offered across all trim levels as standard. Honda offers the following as standard:

• Forward Collision Alert
• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Front Pedestrian Braking
• Lane Keep Assist
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Side Blind Zone Alert
• Lane Change Alert
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Rear Cross Traffic Braking
• Blind Zone Steering Assist
• Reverse Automatic Braking
