Why The 2024 Honda Prologue Outshines the Tesla Model Y

We test drive the new 2024 Honda Prologue, we'll show you how it compares to a Tesla Model Y or other electric SUVs. The Honda Prologue is a brand-new nameplate. The all-new, all-electric 2024 Honda Prologue SUV offers a sporty driving experience with a tech-rich cabin and plenty of room to roam.
The 2024 Prologue is a new EV SUV from Honda, powered by the same Ultium battery pack as GM's Equinox EV and sharing its design and features. It offers a range of 296 to 273 miles per charge.
All Prologue models come standard with a generous list of equipment, including a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, 19-inch wheels, a wireless smartphone charging pad, and a Google-based infotainment interface with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio.
Honda will offer buyers a range of charging benefits to choose from when completing their purchase. The first option is a $500 home charging installation credit coupled with a $100 credit for EVGo public chargers and 60.0 kWh of charging from Electrify America. If you'd prefer more public charging credits you can elect a lower home charger installation credit of $250, which boosts the EVGo credit to $300. Finally, for those who don't plan to install charging at home, there's a choice of $750 in credit from EVGo and 60.0 kWh from Electrify America.
EX FWD - $47,400
Touring - $51,790
Elite AWD - $57,900

[@KB8SD]

I live in California the federal tax rebate program is not a big deal. Most Honda dealers will offer that same credit if you finance or lease the car through Honda financial services. For qualified buyers. I picked up the prologue touring trim model this past Monday.

[@petewayneirvin]

In Herold, CA... not LA, what are the odds? In my neck of the woods.. Next time, let me know & love to have a coffee with ya Great review

[@GregTeston]

Watched the video and still waiting to hear why it outshines the Model Y. You mentioned that multiple (non tesla) charges weren't working, well that in itself is a reason to go Tesla if for no other reason than the charging infrastructure.

[@guillaumepare9651]

Clicbait title?

[@bikersoncall]

They use brighter lights at the dealership. 🤔😄

[@pesho123]

It achieves lower range using larger battery and less powerful motor, wile costing more. Does that count as "outshining"? If not, you can add using an obsolete CCS connector and taking charge at a lower rate. Honda must be proud by this rebadge of a GM vehicle.

[@iTube855-2]

Well... Bigger more comfortable for passengers. Has a driver display + Infotainment screen Has a Head Up Display (HUD) Supports Apple CarPlay Good conservative looks. Nice wheels Resonable acceleration and range and charging options. No full autopilot software (Yes, that's a plus) Good Bose audio system. Honda service center support.

[@lloyddobler5535]

You didn't really cover charging features. Is it coming with a Nacs connector?

[@raymondmatava9285]

Exactly. It still has the obsolete CCS

[@bentleysuper8]

I thought by the title you were actually going to compare it to the Model Y. Didn't really say specifically why it outshines the Tesla. Unless I missed it somehow.

[@edwhite2255]

Does it have full self driving?

[@jianwei2009]

No one has FSD. Not even close. Very few are actually using Tesla FSD(which is a false claim anyway). That said, I used Honda assisted driving all the time when I had my last CRV, not as good as Tesla but effective for daily driving regardless. I would say for 90% of the drivers it’s sufficient. However I suspect the emergency maneuvering is not as good as Tesla.

[@937553]

The back window is too small. Good car overall and competitive pricing.

[@bikersoncall]

Could be a bit small, but I like the overall look of the back as well as the front, I might be able to live with the smaller window, but not the EV aspect, on so very many levels.

[@davethompson4574]

My take: if your a fan of Honda this is an adequate car and you will have no trouble living with it. if your not a Honda fan it will not drag you over from your brand of choice. I like Honda's [and it would be my 3rd, assuming you count Acura as a Honda {and I would}, but my wife who hates Honda's will not give this car the time of day.

[@bikersoncall]

Great looking vehicle, I love the headlight styling, these look so much better than today's 'squinty-eyed' headlights. I would be loving this car overall, if it wasn't 'EV'.

[@haywoodmorganjr1326]

I just hope GM doesn’t provide the base software. The Blazer’s has been terrible.

[@moth450]

Yea. Those low gm warranty numbers. Tell you what your buying. Un updatable sofetware. So you have to buy next gen .

[@Ricky-mo6mv]

Definitely the best SUV design by Honda we have seen, even though it has nothing that stands out. The color makes this one pop nicely. The interior looks to have some high qualities materials, but the design is meh. I can’t believe they still used the glue on style IPad for the infotainment on a modern vehicle. People in California will like this.

[@ricksammartino8320]

I can't believe that time was spent in this review talking about the quiet interior that might cause car sickness, but no mention of the lack of spare tire that's going to strand you on the side of the road. There isn't even a PLACE to put one if you wanted to. I will never buy any car that doesn't have a spare and I don't understand why there isn't a huge uproar about this becoming so common. No, run flats, fill kits and road side assistance are not an acceptable alternatives.

[@jacobfoster3021]

Its built in Mexico, not the US. But it should get the tax credit, at least at some point. GM had to change their source for electrolytes and seperators in the battery to qualify.

[@Tully3674]

Good report. Other than aesthetics, it's a Chevy. IMO the Chevy looks better. GM has a larger dealer network. Servicing this EV ......Chevy dealers are more inclined to provide better service (as its a GM product). Generally like Hondas. But I will always see this Prelude as a modern day "Isuzu' Passport. I'd be impressed if Honda actually developed a proprietary EV platform.

[@KB8SD]

The Honda brand and name alone will hold more re sale value years later. Compared to a Chevy or GM branded car.

[@wesalexander2693]

As always, Lauren, another great review! I'm not onboard with EV's and probably won't be for some time; basing a technology on an infrastructure that isn't there is just foolish. What do I mean by that? Adding big demand onto the electrical grid when there are no serious efforts in place to strengthen it makes no sense. When was the last time a new power plant was built in this country? "Renewables" you say? Too spotty, too unreliable, too inconsistent and again, not enough to meet the demand. In addition, until technology can be brought to bear that significantly reduces recharge times and increases range, EV's will never be practical for ALL uses. All of that said, I do like the design, very clean and sleek. Honda always does a good job in that department.

[@bikersoncall]

Part of the overall agenda imv is to corner us into reliance on 'you know what' source, I can't say it without being censored. They don't even talk about it but they don't happen, most of us are way too dumb to see it coming. Hegelian Dialectic. One look at California's issues says a lot...and what will a million ev's do for the existing grid lol..

[@edwhite2255]

GM EV’s known for battery fires. I hope this is different

[@jptrainor]

5200 lb vehicle. Another behemoth EV.

[@guillaumepare9651]

I wonder who's to blame? Manufacturers that convince customers they need SUVs (read: big cars, sorry, I mean light trucks). Costumers who complain about the cost of living, except when it's time to buy a car. Or both...

[@jptrainor]

@@guillaumepare9651 I don't know. The EV hype combined with the preexisting trend of ever increasing vehicle size has converged to create monsterous vehicles. People have lost their senses. Nobody sees the weight of these behemoths as a problem. There's nothing environmentally friendly about hauling 5200 lb of mass around with you everytime you run an errand.

[@ignignxkt]

Lool……no.

[@seymorefact4333]

No to a $65k EV...ill buy the Honda square battery scooter for $1K. Uncle purchased the new civic...45mpgs and $28K

[@moth450]

Isnt this a gm product? Chinese motors and design flaws. So in 3 years you need to buy a new one. 0 to 60 by friday

[@jianwei2009]

What are you talking about. only made in America cars had those problems. Chinese EVs don’t have those things. Even Tesla Chinese made ones have better quality than US made ones. Seems like you lives in 1980s

[@moth450]

@jianwei2009 the 80s I wasn't even around. Your an old fart

[@markshattis6957]

All electric? No thanks

[@Arid379]

I staying with the American marriage cars

[@markgideon23]

honda all electric for $60G? oh hell nah. thanks!

[@justcollectingdust]

OMGoodness, A Tesla beater? No way! Not even close! I love Honda, but this is not their product, it's Gm's and say what you may, it sure looks like a cheap interior. BTW....I'm seeing Toyota leases for their EV and it's only $159 a month with no money down, how can this vehicle even compete with the ridiculous price?

[@rogeratienza1951]

Failed to mention that this has GM DNA which should be avoided at all costs! That’s important to report. This review is a big fail!

[@kyliefan7]

LITERALLY EVERY new EV is about the same price as the top selling EV SUV the Tesla Model Y!!! Hello if it’s same money as a Model Y I’m GETTING THE TESLA STUPID HEADS!!

[@Tom-eq1tx]

Price alone tesla wins.

[@rmb1]

What an expensive over weight fat joke. All EV’s have horrible resale value and charging on the road is horrible. That ridiculous screen that sticks up from dash is an eye sore.

[@bikersoncall]

'Charging on the road' and 'chewing up the road', a lot more weight, studies are coming out showing the increased burden on the roads, they are even questioning whether our parking garages will be able to handle the extra load.

[@robertcox8994]

Honda is a cheap build

[@raymondmatava9285]

Really? Can you expand on that?

[@ChasingDifferentAdventures]

You could try to bribe me to sit in an Electric Vehicle ( EV ) by giving me a Hyper Car all EV Rimac, and Add $1 million USA Cash i still will not accept the Rimac and the Million together.. In 10 years my 2022 Roush Mustang V8 5.0 Rev-Match Tremec 6 Speed Manual Transmission, MagneRide Suspension, Intercooled Limited Slip Rear Torsen Differential the Same one in the GT500... I will never sell her, even if you Offer $1 Million USA Cash No thanks will not travel to countries of Europe if I can't Rent a Gasoline ( Petrol ) car... I Will NEVER BUY an EV 👨🏻👍🏻🏎🏎🏁🏁🚩🚩🌲🌲⛰⛰
