The Prologue’s introduction marks a major milestone for Honda as it embarks on the realm of carbon neutrality. Available in three trim packages – EX, Touring, and Elite – the Prologue offers versatility to meet a range of equipment and budget preferences. The EX and Touring use a single-motor setup with an output of 212 horsepower and 236 lb.-ft. of torque, while the Elite advances to a dual-motor arrangement that makes 288 hp and 333 lb.-ft. of torque (optional for the EX and Touring). The single-motor models are front-wheel drive (FWD), while the dual-motor is all-wheel drive (AWD). The towing capacity for all trims is 1,500 pounds.
The Prologue boasts the best standard range in its segment. The official estimations of the EPA show the FWD version to reach 296 miles per charge, dipping a tad to 281 miles with AWD. In a mere 10 minutes, a DC fast charger can juice it enough to add 65 miles of range. Regenerative braking, controlled via steering wheel-mounted paddles, adds small amounts of electric energy (it’s harvested as a by-product of the stopping process). Drivers will appreciate the Prologue’s compatibility with Tesla Superchargers, as well as EVgo, Electrify America, and their respective partners, as this opens up many charging possibilities and reduces range anxiety on longer trips. All trims have a charge status screen that clearly shows the charging progress.
The EX is set up with remote start, fabric upholstery, heated front seats, a power driver’s seat, two zones of automatic climate control, wireless phone charging, an 11-inch digital gauge cluster, a universal garage door opener, push-button start, USB-C charge ports, heated exterior mirrors, auto-on/off LED headlights, rear privacy glass, a 60/40-split folding rear seatback, and two 12V power outlets. The considerable upgrades for the mid-level Touring include LED fog lights, leather upholstery, a driver’s-side position memory, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power front passenger’s seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a panoramic moonroof, a power hands-free liftgate, a rear welcome light (with a kick sensor), rooftop rails, and an illuminated instrument panel. The Elite earns its name with key card access, ventilated front seats, a head-up display, a heated windshield-wiper zone, welcome lights on the side mirrors, special cabin illumination (footwells, beverage holders, and door panels), and a 110V power outlet.
The Honda Sensing driver-assist suite is installed in all three Prologue trims. The included technologies are adaptive cruise control, forward collision alert, automatic emergency braking, front pedestrian braking, lane keep assist, lane change alert, blind-zone steering assist, rear cross-traffic alert, side blind-zone alert, reverse automatic braking, traffic sign recognition, and rear parking sensors. The Touring and Elite add front parking sensors, with the latter also receiving rear pedestrian alert and a surround-view monitor.
A Google-based 11.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system is the rule in the 2024 Prologue. Its Google built-in features are Google Assistant, Google Maps, and the Google Play Store. Wireless smartphone integration (Android Auto and Apple CarPlay) is standard, along with Bluetooth, SiriusXM satellite radio, HD Radio, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The EX gets a sound system with six speakers, but the Touring and Elite are upgraded to a premium 12-speaker Bose unit.
