All-New 2024 Honda Prologue review // A Honda in name only?

Finally: - normal charger for the phone that is vertical and doesn’t eat too much of interior space - normal central storage Great job Honda!

[@icecastle57]

I work at a Honda Dealership here in Jacksonville, NC! I think the Prologue is a very good looking SUV, and will attract attention for sure!! The price is a little on the high side for some buyers and will slow sales in some markets!

[@Slim1986]

I would just wait until Honda has it own EV platform

[@leaningtower73]

Excellent review thanks Motormouth. What a beautiful no frills SUV. Real door handles, real volume knob, classy exterior design. Lovely Honda but these vehicles are getting soooo expensive

[@CalgaryGuy71]

So expensive. When are they going to put out affordable EV's that aren't SUV's? Love the look of the Prologue though. Just too big for a commuter car. Great review Zack & Andrea!

[@ChuckNorrizzed]

Have you checked out the vehicles from Kia and VW?

[@cypvh74]

There’s the Bolt EV. And Volvo has the EX30 coming out.

[@thejake8099]

What's expensive to you, may be affordable for others. This is a large, electric SUV. If $20k out the door for a new vehicle is affordable to you, those days are gone, long gone. People want more conveniences, more space, more technology, more power, more range, more safety, more reliability, for pennies on the dollar and Tesla can't even do it.

[@CalgaryGuy71]

Ah yes, the Bolt. It's quite affordable with the rebate here in Canada but I heard it's being discontinued. I could be wrong. The Volvo is a premium brand so will have to see what the pricing is when it comes.@@cypvh74

[@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck]

affordable? 2037.

[@craigo2142]

One of the best looking hondas in a while. And, the 2 colors shown look great. My only problem with it from the review is that it doesn't come as a hybrid and I live in a high rise condo. 😥

[@evdanielsson7]

if you want this as a hybrid, they’ll sell you a CR-V Hybrid. that’s like asking for a Model Y Hybrid. this is a purpose-built EV.

[@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck]

Your building does not have electricity. Even in rural Nova Scotia, we plan to get electrics ... soon. 🌩

[@MrJohnthefarmer]

Not a fan of hybrids. The range is minimal on electric and you still have all the expenses of an ice vehicle( gas, oil, and exhaust system). I went full electric in 2020 and this boomer is never going back. That’s just my opinion.

[@cypvh74]

I like the screen layout and dash in the blazer/equinox EVs that look more integrated, vs the tacked on tablet style in the Honda.

[@J_L970]

100% agree!

[@chrisuhles1623]

Love your videos! I recently leased a Touring AWD (US) in Sonic Grey. Very Happy and love the drive and how comfortable it is. I am not a fan of the shiny black plastic and agree the honeycomb trim would have looked better. My biggest complaint with the vehicle after a few weeks is the adjustment of the rearview mirror. I am 6'1 and even with tiling the rearview mirror all the way up, seat in lowest position visibility out the back is not the best. Otherwise love the Prologue and agree that it's not wacka-doodle.

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

At those trim prices, the Prologue won't sell. Honda ordered 110,000 Prologues from GM ... good luck on that. Soo many better alternatives.

[@SkyRL25]

Yeah way too expensive they will get stuck with them….. i got a blazer ev rs in that same blue for way less…..

[@jpizel1070]

They won't sell but will lease well. They are giving these away on lease specials. It could make sense since the gas savings basically pays for your monthly lease payments.

[@rayh2808]

A dealer in the US just offered me a 36 month lease, $226 a month , $1000 down . Prologue AWD EX. 10,000 miles a year. Dealer takes the $7500 Fed rebate

[@JoKIA_-100]

Great review Andrea and Zack. I absolutely love the lower and wider stance. If I’m not mistaken the cargo capacity is just a smidge bigger than my 2024 Civic hatchback. Probably still a couple cycles of auto purchases before I consider an EV, but this is a good looking vehicle.

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

Wait at least 5 years for a better charging infrastructure to be ready; as it is now, forget about it! I know having owned a 2020 Kona EV and the infamous (we can't repair your battery) Ioniq 5 EV.

[@cmd_76]

Nice review. You both made some excellent points as everyone thinks this is a full GM car with a Honda badge, but it's clearly isn't.

Looks great but the partnership between GM and Honda has ended which spells doom for this model, wouldn't buy... Great review btw!

[@foxlake6750]

There was Toyota/GM on the Matrix/Vibe and Ford/Mazda on the Escape/Tribute and more recently Toyota/BMW on the Supra and Toyota/Subaru on the BRZ, so this isn’t untested waters……just saying.

[@hollybirge4087]

I’m all about EVs that are designed as cars that just happen to be electric

[@arbitrary76]

Prologue looks a lot better than those four alternatives you named, in my opinion, much cleaner styling. Well done Honda! Partnering with GM on the platform brings it to market sooner, that is a good thing. If you don't trust GM, fair enough, there are alternatives...

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

But GM have problems scaling up the Ultium production, they can't meet Honda's 110.000 order. And, time will tell if this ends up with the same issues as the Blazer EV.

[@arbitrary76]

Yes, time will tell! Apparently the software is Honda's, so hopefully GM's issues will not affect the Prologue.

[@gurtejsingh656]

What happens when u need parts or service in a few years when the partnership is over. Where do u go and what about parts availability

[@GlennLaycock]

as the review said - Honda has its own supply chain on this, so it should be just fine and it is nice to know that GM will continue on with the platform for many years apparently if you do hold onto it for a long time - with EVs many lease as a mitigation to most being in a evolutionary track and its uncertain for most looking to the longer term ownership.

[@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck]

GM will tell you, "go Frunk yourself!"

[@trippinwithdumas1382]

.. but is it NACS compatible. Without this, it’s a hard no. If yes, then it’s a viable option. Charging access is EVERYTHING.

[@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck]

Will be compatible in 2026 - when "collaboration" ends.

[@evolv.e]

@@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck that’s unfortunate. Ford has access already and Rivian, Volvo, and PoleStar announced they will have access less than 3 weeks from now. Even GM’s twin of the Prologue will have NACS access within a year. I can’t see why anyone would want to buy the Prologue, or any other EV for that matter without NACS access. I’m hoping you’re wrong about the time frame and that Honda gets access much sooner. Otherwise, it’s off the buy list until then.

[@lluneytune]

@@evolv.e yup hes wrong!

[@shahnoormunir]

@@faithosadebe5293 If you're implying that it's impossible to take a road trip on anything other than the Tesla Supercharger network, number one it's not true, and number two the network is opening up to more and more vehicles as Tesla uses it as a profit center and not just a competitive advantage. Increasingly, Tesla vehicles will have to compete on their own merits, not the merits of its charging network.

Great review. All suv reviews should include tow capacity (like yours). Only criticism, tesla model y comparison. They must compete.

[@coryvb3056]

Used to love Honda, but their styling and technology just took a halt. Purchased a Hyundai Santa Fe which was great until the engine died at 66k. Then I got a Tesla Model Y which has been amazing. I will skip the Prologue, but glad Honda is at least trying again. Nice review!

[@marounhannoush]

Another great review. It would be interesting to know how the charging capacity when doing long distance trips. I recently travelled in an EV with a supercharger capacity, it was fast and kept us on the road relatively quick. Does the Prologue have the capacity for high speed charging? Actually Ford will or has alreay introduced supercharging capabilities on some of their EVs.

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

I drove it. It's probably my favorite Honda (I don't like Honda). It's more tame than my Cadillac Lyriq or the Acura ZDX with 500HP AWD. This is actually a clean-looking, sensible Model Y competitor which offers more than the Tesla Model X.

[@jpizel1070]

Sensible? Nothing with a 60k+ price tag should be considered sensible.

[@vroonster]

Why isn’t the Model Y, the best seeking vehicle in the world a comparison? Seems like you want to pretend it’s not out there. Is there a reason for this?

Wackadoodle is the price, I like Honda but wouldn’t pay that much for something GM had anything to do with.

[@6ec6YRFPTcC]

[@jessethompson9087]

This is a huge no for me. Waste of time to use GM as a basis. Terrible reliability and Blazer EV already has battery/charging issues. You can get a CRV Hybrid for $15k less, more cargo and interior space, similar power, farther range, and it’s made 100% by Honda. Not to mention I think this is VERY expensive for what you get. Low range, cheap materials from GM, and an exterior the size of an Odyssey with an interior of an HRV?!? Insane. I truly think this will be very unsuccessful. Honda should have waited to do their own.

[@ScubaSteveCanada]

It's a compliance EV for Honda.

[@ccs9271]

[@bokz4482]

Man, I don't know why but "what's under the floor of this thing" got me rolling! LOL!

[@acchaladka]

I would really like it if, in these 'utility' vehicles, you provided more detail on the cargo space, including a standard metric like the number of golf bags or say, toilet paper. Also, I was born in 1971 and live in Québec, would really really like you to provide the space figure in litres. I have a rough idea of what a cubic foot might be but boy I know what a litre is, and I think anyone who has bought a 2 litre of pop in N America understands how much 100 of those bottles are etc. Excellent review and man I hear you that the Ariya is a better choice but the Prologue has a certain something.

[@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck]

For space and utility, tune in to Bjorn Hyland for banana box measures.

[@berthogendoorn2133]

This car should charge and have great range compared to other EV's of this size! Well done Honda!

The Prologue and Blazer share quite a bit more than just the skateboard but Honda has done a great job turning this into a Honda. It's well executed and the Ultium platform is a good one. Those are big positives. However, the fact that their are unique-to-Prologue parts and that this is is a one-off for Honda means that parts availability and Honda tech support in the future will likely be iffy.
