The Prologue also fills a gap in the electric midsize crossover segment — what Honda calls "the heart" of the EV market. It offers more cargo and passenger space than its crossover rivals and even bests the rear-seat legroom of its gas-counterpart, the Honda Passport.
But space isn't the only standout feature for the Prologue.
To bring its first volume EV to market, Honda collaborated with General Motors on the shared goal of developing an EV for economies of scale. The Prologue uses GM's Ultium battery-electric platform, and it is based on the Chevrolet Blazer EV's architecture.
The design, however, is distinctly Honda.
It is simple and clean with a long hood and beltline. Its body panels were a major focus for stylists, who shaped them to help enhance battery range and reduce road noise in the cabin. The interior is minimalist with premium touch points and innovative storage solutions.
Honda also made sure the Prologue delivers the sporty driving dynamics the brand is known for. Engineers tuned the chassis for a sporty, refined ride, agile handling with a connected feel and light, direct steering. The instant torque from the electric motor aids immediate and linear acceleration.
Honda said the electric crossover complements its lineup of crossovers and looks at home in Honda showrooms. But here are seven characteristics of the new EV that will make it stand out.
