The 2024 Honda Prologue, Honda's first-ever all-electric SUV, represents a bold step into the electric vehicle (EV) world while staying true to the brand's core strengths of reliability, practicality, and understated elegance. We had the pleasure of testing the top-tier AWD Elite trim, which comes with a starting MSRP of $59,295. More budget-friendly options like the EX trim start at $48,795, with Touring trims in the $51,000 to $53,095 range.
Electric Driving Range
The 2024 Prologue boasts an impressive EPA-rated 296 miles on a full charge, which is best-in-class for standard driving range. This should be ample for most daily commutes and regular errands. However, given our family's frequent three- to four-hour volleyball trips, we found ourselves wishing for a bit more range to inspire greater confidence on long journeys. An extended range could add further appeal for those looking to minimize stops on long road trips or attract first-time EV buyers.

Charging Solutions
Honda has made charging the Prologue hassle-free with an array of thoughtful charging solutions. You'll get access to America's largest public charging networks, including Tesla Superchargers, Electrify America, and EVgo, giving you plenty of options to keep your Prologue powered. One of the standout features is Honda's flexible charging packages, which are included in the MSRP. You can select from public charging credits, home charging equipment, and installation credits, depending on your needs. These packages make charging convenient whether you primarily charge at home or rely on public stations. With DC fast charging, you can add 65 miles of range in about 10 minutes—a huge time-saver on the go.

EV Charging Network (IONNA)
Honda is part of the IONNA joint venture, a high-powered EV charging network formed by several major automakers, including BMW, GM, Hyundai, and Kia. IONNA will deploy 30,000 chargers across North America, with the first stations set to open in 2024. These stations will be powered by renewable energy, offering accessible and reliable fast-charging options for long-distance drivers. This joint effort will likely enhance Honda's appeal to EV drivers who depend on a robust and reliable charging infrastructure.

Federal Tax Credit
The Prologue qualifies for federal tax credits, making it even more enticing for potential buyers. Depending on your situation, you may be eligible for up to $7,500 in credits, which can offset the upfront cost and make the Prologue a more accessible option for eco-conscious drivers.
Exterior Design
While many EVs aim to stand out with futuristic and bold designs, the Honda Prologue takes a more refined, elegant approach. It's stylish but not "in your face," which I appreciate. It feels like an evolution of Honda's popular SUV lineup, with clean lines and a sporty stance that doesn't scream, "I'm electric!" This makes it ideal for those who want to embrace the future of mobility without sacrificing timeless good looks.

State-of-the-Art Technology
Honda has packed the Prologue with advanced technology. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard, and the wireless phone charger ensures a clutter-free experience. Google built-in provides seamless connectivity for navigation, apps, and voice control. We found the infotainment system intuitive and had smooth connectivity throughout the trip. Regarding driving dynamics, the Prologue's electric platform delivers a surprisingly sporty ride, enhanced by its dual-motor setup in the AWD Elite trim, which provides 288 horsepower and 333 lb.-ft. of torque. Compared to our other EV, the platform's smoothness and quietness stood out as a highlight for the whole family.

Interior Space & Family-Friendly Storage
The Prologue is designed with families in mind, offering plenty of space and practical storage solutions. One detail that particularly impressed me was the generous center console. It had enough room to comfortably transport a two-gallon tea pitcher, with the armrest resting — a subtle but significant advantage for those of us with busy families! The cabin feels airy and spacious, offering enough room for passengers and cargo alike, making it an excellent choice for weekend adventures and daily tasks.

One of the most reassuring aspects of the 2024 Honda Prologue is Honda's proven reliability. While the Prologue is a leap into the EV world, it's backed by Honda's decades-long track record of building lasting vehicles. For buyers worried about switching to electric, the Prologue offers the peace of mind that comes with owning a Honda.

The 2024 Honda Prologue is an impressive debut in the all-electric SUV space. It's perfect for those living in major metropolitan areas with solid charging infrastructure or those with predictable daily commutes. With its blend of sophisticated design, spacious interior, advanced tech, and Honda's famed reliability, the Prologue feels like a natural extension of the brand's already excellent SUV lineup. For busy families, it's hard to beat this vehicle's convenience, practicality, and peace of mind. While more electric range would make it even more versatile for long trips, the Prologue is a great option for the growing number of consumers ready to embrace the future of electric mobility.
