2025 Honda Prologue

Price Range: $47,400 - $57,900 ^{Price range reflects Base MSRP for various trim levels, not including options or fees.}

The 2025 Honda Prologue's lengthy driving range and long list of standard tech features make the electric SUV an attractive option. But its lack of fun behind the wheel and Chevrolet origins could turn off some shoppers. It's worth considering the Prologue's rivals, most of which are more affordable.Read full review

2025 Honda Prologue Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Long range for an electric SUV
Plenty of passenger space
Google-based infotainment system is helpful

Cons

Middling handling and acceleration
Stiff ride quality in top trim
Hard to see out of the back

What's new

Slightly more driving range and power
Part of the first Prologue generation introduced for 2024

Overview

The Prologue debuted last year as Honda's first modern EV in North America. It's a five-passenger midsize electric crossover SUV that's larger than Honda's CR-V and about the same length as the Passport. It comes generously equipped with features and can potentially drive more than 300 miles on a fully charged battery. It's a sensible pick for an electric SUV, especially if you like Hondas. But some Honda loyalists might be dismayed to learn that the Prologue is based on General Motors' EV technology and shares much of its underlying design with the Chevy Blazer EV.

Am I Ready for an EV?

EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work ^{This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.}
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station ^{With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.}
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more ^{If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.}

Edmunds spotlight: More range and power for 2025

If driving range is one of your top priorities, aim for a single-motor (or front-wheel-drive) Prologue because it delivers the longest range, with an EPA-estimated 308 miles. That's a slight increase from last year's 296 miles. Although, single-motor models have a modest 220 horsepower, 8 more hp than last year. If you want all-wheel drive or prefer more power, get a dual-motor model, which now has 300 horsepower, a bump of 12 hp over last year. Its range is up to an estimated 294 miles, 13 more miles than last year.

Competitors to consider

The well-rounded Hyundai Ioniq 5 and sporty Ford Mustang Mach-E are smaller and more affordable rivals and are two of our favorite electric SUVs. The updated 2026 Tesla Model Y boasts several significant improvements and is also one of our top recommended models. You might also consider checking out the Chevrolet Equinox EV as a less expensive option or the related Acura ZDX if you want a nicer interior and better performance. Our test team's Expert Rating below will help you decide if the Honda Prologue is right for you.

Good

7.7

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Prologue drive? We put the dual-motor all-wheel-drive Honda Prologue Elite through its paces. At our test track, it accelerated from zero to 60 mph in a lackluster 6.2 seconds. While that kind of speed doesn't exactly take your breath away, it'll hold its own against traditional gas-powered SUVs. It has enough power for your daily drives, even if other dual-motor electric vehicles we've tested provide a more exhilarating experience.

Emergency braking performance fell short of our expectations during testing, and the Prologue doesn't offer the same stopping confidence as a Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Tesla Model Y. Handling capabilities are also modest and un-Honda-like. However, we appreciate the Prologue for being user-friendly in everyday scenarios. Its robust and adjustable brake regeneration enables one-pedal driving, offering the convenience of a smooth stop without needing to hit the brakes.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Prologue? The seating in the Honda Prologue leaves a bit to be desired. The front seats are flat and don't have enough bolstering to hold you in place when cornering. The lumbar support adjustment range is limited, and the inability to adjust the bottom seat cushion for longer legs may make it difficult for taller drivers to get completely comfortable. Also, the ride comfort is stiffer than expected, which is surprising given the Prologue's modest handling capabilities.

Thankfully the heating and ventilation systems perform very well. There are physical climate controls too, which have the benefit over a touchscreen in case the screen malfunctions. Interior noise levels are low at city speeds, but the constant presence of the pedestrian warning sound sometimes intrudes on the cabin's otherwise decent quietness.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The Honda Prologue is physically larger than competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Tesla Model Y. The perception inside the cabin is there is more passenger space, even if its official interior measurements say otherwise. There are physical buttons and knobs for climate and audio controls, though most other settings (including those for the headlights) are touchscreen-based. We found the menus unintuitive at times, but the large touchscreen icons alongside the nice Google integration are a plus for usability.

The driving position is flexible for drivers of varying heights, but the Prologue's low roofline and chunky rear pillars can hinder visibility out of the back, making the surround-view camera (standard on the Elite trim) a valuable addition.

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? The Prologue's Google-based infotainment system is pretty cool. Google Maps can be displayed directly in the driver's gauge cluster, for instance, and the voice-controlled virtual assistant is useful. If you don't want to use the onboard Google OS, the Prologue supports wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, which you can pull up on the central 11.3-inch touchscreen. The available 12-speaker Bose audio system sounds sharp.

The Prologue comes standard with many advanced driving aids. We found in our testing that nearly all of them work well to help make driving easier and safer. The exception was the lane keeping system, which we'd like to be a bit more proactive in helping you stay in your lane.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The cargo area in the Prologue is wide but not very deep. There's a total of 23.7 cubic feet of space behind the second row, which puts it at the bottom of class numerically and on par with the Kia EV6. The numbers don't always tell the whole story because manufacturers measure the space differently, but what we can say for sure is the area under the trunk load floor is small. There isn't a front trunk either. However, the seats split in a 60/40 configuration and fold, allowing for flexible storage solutions.

Although the Prologue and Blazer EV interiors look very similar, we think Honda's two-tier center storage layout is a smarter use of space for small personal items. A large center armrest bin offers decent storage and the glovebox is a usable size as well. If you have small children, you will appreciate the Prologue's Isofix car seat anchors are easy to locate and access and there's plenty of room to install even bulkiest rear-facing seats.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Range and Efficiency

8/10

How are the range and efficiency? The EPA estimates that the 2024 Prologue Elite, which is the Prologue model we independently range-tested, can drive 273 miles on a single charge. That's a good distance and our test vehicle did even better in the real-world Edmunds EV Range Test, going 320 miles on a single charge. That's more than most competing EVs we've tested, including dual-motor versions of the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Hyundai Ioniq 5.

Recharging at home, the Prologue can accept up to 11.5 kW of power, which is what most homes can commonly support without extensive modification. If you're on the go, you can also take advantage of the Prologue's standard DC fast-charging hardware with a charging power of up to 155 kW. That's decent but the Ioniq 5, EV6 and Model Y are all capable of charging with more power, which translates to quicker charging.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Prologue a good value? There's very little here that would make us want to recommend the Honda Prologue over any of the segment mainstays from Hyundai, Kia or Tesla. The look and feel of the cabin are more General Motors than Honda, which may turn off buyers that recognize and want the whole Honda experience.

Honda's warranty coverage is pretty standard stuff with three years/36,000 miles for the basic warranty, five years/60,000 miles for the powertrain, and eight years/100,000 miles for the high-voltage battery pack. Honda is a bit more generous than typical with its incentives and credits for installing a home charger or public fast charging.

Wildcard

7/10

Taken in as a whole, the Honda Prologue doesn't stand out above other top EVs. It's not much fun behind the wheel. Styling is a subjective thing, but we think the Prologue has a slight edge over the Blazer EV, which it shares most of its hardware with.

Which Prologue does Edmunds recommend?

If your budget allows for it, step up to the Touring trim. The midlevel trim's leather upholstery, panoramic sunroof and Bose audio system are solid upgrades that anyone can enjoy. The hands-free power liftgate and front and rear parking sensors are also upgrades worth paying for.

Getting it right the first time never happens

DJRobSD, 11/03/2024

2024 Honda Prologue Touring 4dr SUV (electric DD)

I test drove every electric SUV in this price range and the Prologue stands out for cabin comfort, quiet and smooth ride and stylish exterior looks. Thre color options are fun, I chose the blue exterior and two tone leather interior with the touring trim. With that said, there are some issues. The first is the electric rear lift gate. The foot sensor is too sensitive and it will … close on you when you’re loading groceries which feels like a safety issue. I called Honda and they said they noted my concerns and recommended I take it to the dealer to inspect the sensor. Who wants to spend their day at a repair center? The range in the vehicle is not properly calibrated, I got the FWD and it’s showing me the AWD range right out the gate and after charging it twice it still shows the same range as the AWD. I have taken it on a road trip but not long enough to test the real world range so it might recalibrate on its own like most electric cars do when they learn your driving habits. Driver assist is a letdown coming from driving a Tesla (non FSD version), the adaptive cruise control works great on the freeway but if you’re on a curvy road it does NOT slow down automatically for the curves which to me is a huge safety hazard. You have to manually apply the brakes and then it shuts off the cruise once you’ve changed to your new freeway. The lane keep assist is really nothing more than a gentle nudge back into your lane, it does not keep you centered or help you drive the car in any way. The backup camera sucks on the touring model, it’s about 10 plus years behind its time. You have to pay extra for the elite edition and then you get the full surround view. What’s really annoying is that the Equinox 2LT comes with the full surround view on the base 2LT trim. I found that the cross traffic alert for pedestrians and cars is adequate and helps with those dangerous trips to Costco where everyone else parked around you are driving massive trucks and SUVs and your visibility can be limited pulling out of parking spaces. The Bose audio is excellent but if you know Bose you know that they aren’t known for the crisp high range sound. The bass is excellent. Definitely pair your iPhone and use Apple Music to get the best sound quality on your test drive, the Sirius XM is tinny as is the FM radio due to HD radio being compressed. I found the Bose in this car one of the best of all the SUV, better than the Sonos in the Audi Q4 and better than the Bose in the Ioniq but not as good as the Tesla system or the Harmon Kardon in the Volvo C40. The interior lighting is pretty good at night on the touring although you have to buy the elite edition to get lighted floor boards and cup holders. Come on Honda this is 2024 not 1990! The remote app on your phone SUCKS. If you want to use your phone as a car key this is NOT the car for you! The app will unlock doors and turn on climate control but you CAN NOT start the car with the app, and most of the time the app doesn’t work or is very slow to respond. Honda needs to fix this quickly as it’s a huge embarrassment trying to show your friends look, I can open my car with my phone and it doesn’t work! I heard some concerning things about the charging. You must go to a 350Kw charger to get the full 150kw charge rate. Otherwise if you go to standard electrify America fast chargers or Tesla or EV go it will be more like 75-100kw which can be a bit annoying if it’s a long road trip. Apparently this is due to the architecture in the Chevy Ultium EV platform that is shared with the Blazer and the Cadillac as well as the Equinox EV. As much title says, getting an EV right on the first try never happens. If you’re looking for a stylish and comfortable EV and you can strike up an amazing lease deal like I did then get this car. If you’re paying full price and don’t get a great deal I think there are better options in the Ioniq or the Volvo.
