The upcoming 2024 Honda Prologue, Honda’s first all-electric SUV, is expected to have a range of 300 miles on a single charge, according to Honda. The Prologue is built on GM’s Ultium platform and features an 85kWh battery, the same size as the Chevy Blazer EV. The two vehicles share many similarities, including a wheelbase of 121.8 inches and an 11-inch driver instrument display. However, the official EPA range for the Chevy Blazer EV is already known to be 279 miles.
One notable difference between the Prologue and the Blazer EV is the software integration. While both vehicles have Google built-in software, Honda’s EV includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, which GM has decided not to include in its EVs. Honda will also offer several charging package options for Prologue buyers, including public charging credits. The packages range from an 11.5kW home charging station with installation incentives to portable chargers and additional public charging credits.
Honda plans to deliver the first Prologue EVs in early 2024, with prices starting in the upper $40,000s. The vehicle may also qualify for the $7,500 federal tax incentive. Honda aims to introduce 30 new EVs globally by 2030, with a sales volume target of 2 million vehicles. The Prologue is part of Honda’s effort to electrify its lineup, as it lags behind other automakers like Toyota in terms of electrification. The Prologue is built on GM’s platform as a temporary solution, while Honda’s next electric SUV, set to debut in 2025, will run on the company’s own e Architecture platform.
