The all-electric 2024 Honda Prologue will carry a starting price of $47,400, though it will be possible to push the price to around $60,000 fully equipped. It is set to arrive at dealerships in March.
The Prologue is Honda’s first mainstream electric vehicle for sale in the U.S. A midsize SUV, it uses General Motors’
GM,
Ultium platform batteries and motors, but Honda styling. Honda
HMC,
plans its own lineup of EVs designed fully in-house. But its first efforts – the Prologue and the luxury Acura ZDX – are built in partnership with GM.

Dealers will offer the Prologue with a choice of two powertrains. A single-motor, front-wheel-drive version gets 212 horsepower, though Honda promises it is “tuned for confident acceleration and maximized efficiency.” A two-motor, all-wheel-drive version gets 288 horsepower – the same figure as AWD editions of the Chevy Blazer EV.
Range varies from a low of 273 miles to a high of 296 depending on trim level. Honda calls the EPA-certified 296-mile figure “best in class.” But they’re referring only to base models. Similarly sized, similarly priced electric SUVs available with longer ranges include the Kia EV6 (310 miles), Ford
F,
Mustang Mach-E (310), Nissan Ariya (304), and even the Blazer EV with which it shares many parts (324).
