Honda has long been a leader in the auto industry, delivering some of the most highly acclaimed cars and SUVs available anywhere. It is no surprise, then, that they are moving forward to continue being a leader with bold new options that utilize the latest technology and engineering in the industry. Leading this forward momentum is the 2024 Honda Prologue, Honda's first all-electric SUV that beautifully combines electrified performance with innovative tech inside and out. This is a midsize SUV that's perfect for families or singles looking for a stylish new date-night vehicle that is sure to turn heads everywhere you go and be a fantastic topic of conversation with everyone you meet.
At the heart of the all-new Prologue is its electrified performance, which utilizes a wide range of new technologies and engineering techniques to create something remarkable. Every model comes with an excellent 85 kWh battery designed to keep you on the road longer; the standard trim features a single motor on the front end with 212 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. If you go with the Elite model, you get a dual-motor setup that gives you all-wheel drive (AWD) performance along with 288 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque. The standard option gets you an estimated 296 miles of range from a full charge, plus you have a number of convenient charging options, including at-home or using public Level 3 DC Fast Charging stations.
Inside the 2024 Honda Prologue, you will find a beautifully designed and detailed cabin with a wide range of impressive tech features and options. Every model includes dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, and a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat. You also get an 11.3-inch infotainment display up front paired with an 11-inch Digital Instrument Cluster, plus available upgrades, including a head-up display and Bose Premium sound system. Best of all, the Prologue has also been designed to keep you safe: every model comes with the Honda Sensing suite of driver assistance features, including a Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist, and much more. No matter what you are looking for in an electric SUV, the Honda Prologue is ready to deliver.

Electrified Performance
As Honda's first all-electric SUV, there is a lot of pressure for the 2024 Prologue to set a strong standard for the vehicles that will inevitably follow it. Fortunately, Honda's designers and engineers seem to understand this because that is exactly what we see with it. The standard option for the Prologue is a single motor up front that offers 212 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque, which ensures a great driving experience. You can choose a dual-motor AWD configuration for the starting EX or upgraded Touring trims, though the top-end Elite trim comes with it standard. These two motors deliver 288 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque, creating an enhanced driving experience that is our preference.
Range
Not only do you get a vehicle that is fun to drive with the Prologue, but it also delivers excellent range, so you do not have to worry about constant charging. Going with the standard single-motor setup gets you an estimated 296 miles of range from a full charge, which is plenty for both getting around town and going on a long road trip. If you go with an available AWD model, you get an estimated 281 miles of range from a full charge. This is only slightly lower and is not likely to make a notable difference as you go through your daily commute, pick up kids from school, or enjoy your SUV on the weekend.
Charging
Along with great range, the Honda Prologue is also incredibly easy to keep charged since you have numerous options and the battery has been engineered to recharge quickly. If you use Level 2 charging at home, with a 240-volt system, then the Prologue can get about 34 miles of range per hour of charging. Using a DC Fast Charging station provides you with about 65 miles of range from just 10 minutes of charging, making it perfect for a quick charge on the go. In fact, you can go from a 20% charge to an 80% charge in just 35 minutes using DC Fast Charging, ensuring you can get back on the road and where you need to go quickly.
Technology
As you consider the features of your next vehicle, few things are as important as the kinds of comfort, convenience, and tech you get inside it. These details can be easy to overlook but that is a mistake—we often hear customers lament the features they skipped on their previous vehicle and how much they wish they had them. Fortunately, you do not have to worry about missing out on anything with the 2024 Honda Prologue because it is well appointed throughout the cabin. Your choice of trim level can impact this, but you cannot go wrong with any of the three options.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The standard Prologue EX model comes with remote start functionality that is perfect for busy mornings when you are struggling to get going, plus dual-zone climate control to keep you and your passengers comfortable. You get heated front seats, standard, along with a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat that includes power lumbar support and a six-way front-passenger seat. The EX trim also includes an 11-inch Digital Instrument Cluster, an 11.3-inch color Infotainment display with Google built-in, and a six-speaker sound system. You get wireless support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a wireless phone charger all standard in the Prologue.
If you go with a higher trim, then you will find a number of upgrades and enhancements. Both the Touring and Elite models feature a leather-wrapped steering wheel and illuminated instrument panel, along with an automatic-dimming rearview mirror, leather-trimmed seats, and a power-adjustable front-passenger seat. You also get a 12-speaker Bose Premium sound system in both of these trims. The Elite has a few extra niceties not found elsewhere, such as more interior illumination, ventilated front seats for added comfort, and a head-up display that projects information into your field of view so you can easily keep an eye on it while driving.
Safety
The Honda Sensing Suite
While there is a lot to be said for the joy of driving an all-electric model, the most important thing about the 2024 Prologue is how well it helps keep you safe. Every Prologue model comes with a suite of Honda Sensing technologies designed to enhance your driving and protect you and your loved ones. This includes a Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Front Pedestrian Braking. It also features a Lane Keep Assist system with a Lane Change Alert, plus Adaptive Cruise Control to make driving less demanding. You get a Side Blind Zone Alert, Blind Zone Steering Assist, and a Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Braking to help you avoid others that you might not easily be able to see.
Other Available Features
Rear Park Assist and Reverse Automatic Braking are also standard on every Prologue, along with other great features like LED daytime running lights and a tire pressure monitoring system. There are a few available options if you are looking to upgrade your SUV's safety tech, such as Front and Rear Park Assist for the Touring and Elite models. The Elite trim also comes with a Rear Pedestrian Alert and a Surround Vision System that provides you with a virtual 360-degree view around your vehicle, making it easier to spot objects that are obstructed or hidden from view even through your rearview and side mirrors. All of this comes together to make the 2024 Prologue an incredibly safe and reliable vehicle that you can count on to get you and your family where you are going day after day.
