2026 Honda Prologue

If you're in the market for an electric car and are dead set on a Honda, the Honda Prologue fits the bill. Sort of. You see, the Prologue is really a Chevy Blazer EV underneath, conceived when Honda needed an EV in its lineup quickly. The resulting Prologue doesn't really look or feel like a Honda, but it offers decent range, a comfortable ride, and plenty of standard features. For 2026, Honda has reduced the Prologue's as-new price by thousands of dollars and increased incentives to make home charging installation easier. We like what Honda has done, but the reality is that this has been a slow-selling EV for Honda. We expect 2026 to be the Prologue's final model year before it is discontinued. 

Aside from the Blazer EV, there are numerous alternatives to the Honda Prologue. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 and related Kia EV6 are among the best, offering a broader lineup, including performance models and significantly quicker battery charging times. The updated 2026 Tesla Model Y is another great choice thanks to its roomy interior, spacious cargo areas, and satisfying performance and range. We also recommend checking out the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Volkswagen ID.4.

While the Prologue is inextricably linked to the Blazer EV, they aren't exactly the same. For one, the Blazer is available in a wider range of configurations. You can get it with a higher-capacity battery for increased range or even as a high-performance Blazer EV SS that produces an outlandish 615 horsepower. The Blazer EV offers Chevy's Super Cruise system, which is a helpful hands-free driving system that works on highways. In contrast, the Prologue has a streamlined lineup and doesn't come with Super Cruise. The Prologue's main advantage, besides its Honda badge, is that it comes with easy smartphone integration thanks to standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Chevy doesn't include them on the Blazer EV.
