“Great car. A little on the large side, great performance and handling. Front seats need better bolsters and a little more padding. Charges fast enough, has good range, plenty of interior space. I expect to own it for many years.”
Honda Prologue: Trims, Generations & Buyer's Guide
Last updated August 4, 2026
The Honda Prologue is a five-seat midsize electric SUV known for its roomy, quiet cabin, straightforward driving experience, and familiar Honda usability. It is Honda’s first all-electric SUV in the U.S.
Introduced for 2024, the Prologue has stayed focused on making the move to an electric vehicle feel easy and familiar. Its defining traits are a spacious two-row cabin, simple everyday manners, built-in Google features, and useful driving range. Updates for 2025 added power and range without changing that basic formula.
Strengths
- The two-row cabin seats five and gives rear passengers a useful 39.4 inches of legroom in 2026.
- Its electric driving range is practical for commuting and travel, with 2025 EPA estimates spanning 283 to 308 miles depending on the version.
- The quiet ride and straightforward controls help make it approachable for drivers who are new to electric vehicles.
- Built-in Google navigation and voice features support everyday driving and finding charging stops.
- All-wheel-drive versions produce 300 horsepower in 2025, providing a meaningful step up from the 220-horsepower front-drive models.
Who it's for
The Prologue fits families and commuters who want a practical electric SUV without a steep learning curve. It also suits drivers who need enough range and charging access to make longer trips feel manageable.
Honda Prologue lineup
EX is the straightforward entry trim and the natural fit for shoppers focused on the Prologue’s core space, range, and everyday usability. Touring is the middle step for buyers who want a more upgraded version without moving to the top trim. Elite sits at the top of the lineup and, in recent years, pairs that position with all-wheel drive. For 2025, EX and Touring models included both front- and all-wheel-drive versions, while Elite used all-wheel drive.

Honda Prologue
(346 reviews)
“Great vehicle. Good range, very comfortable, good price. Favorite vehicle I have ever owned.”
“The Prologue offers everything your typical SUV would offer with the benefit of having great battery range. The interior is nice and slick, and the Apple CarPlay is a major plus. Also, the ability to have a fully electric AWD vehicle at the price of the Prologue is an amazing bonus.”
“I really wanted an EV and since I had such a great experience with my Honda CR-V, I immediately went to a Honda EV first. I love it and have absolutely no regrets.”
“The vehicle is great, however the battery can be concerning as it seems to be a common issue that it stops working well before it should. Only keep it for as long as the warranty lasts as the battery replacement can be extremely expensive.”
“Don't fear the all electric, but have a plan. It will make you become more conscious of your driving and where you have to go, but that's not a bad thing.”
