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.
