Here’s Everything We Know About the 2024 Honda Prologue

In 2024, the Honda Design Studio in Los Angeles will release the first Honda SUV with an all-electric powertrain: the Prologue. Honda unveiled the first concept image of the brand-new full-electric SUV in October of 2022, stating it would be released at some point later in 2024. As the first car created largely using virtual reality technology, the Prologue has a style reminiscent of the well-loved Honda E.

We can expect an SUV that’s ready for an adventure out of the 2024 Honda Prologue, one that can satisfy both daily driving and weekend excursions. Here’s an overview of what we know so far. To eventually reserve or buy your very own Honda Prologue, remember Performance Honda in Fairfield, Ohio.

How Does the 2024 Honda Prologue Look on the Outside?

The designers of this revolutionary SUV set out to make a contemporary but straightforward impression. They replaced the “H-mark” logo on the back of the car with the whole Honda brand name in a styled typeface that reflects the Prologue’s contemporary and uncluttered appearance. Additionally, the Prologue will use the brand’s e-series name badging, just like Honda’s other electric vehicles (EVs).

The new Honda Prologue will have sporty 21-inch wheels with a neo-rugged design on the outside, as well as minimal LED lighting and a panoramic roof. Along with a long wheelbase, lower overhang, and a robust stance, it will be equipped with a capable tire that’ll feel at home in the showroom alongside other Honda SUVs.

As for its dimensions, the Prologue will be around 192 inches long, 78.3 inches wide, and 64.7 inches high, with a wheelbase of 121.8 inches. At times, you might even mistake it for the light-duty Passport pickup truck, thanks to its generous proportions. These also make the Prologue one of the roomiest SUVs coming to dealerships.

Overall, the 2024 Honda Prologue’s external appearance embodies the clear, straightforward, and timeless qualities of the company’s global design approach. Neo-rugged was chosen as the motif, but in a way that harmonizes both the exterior and interior design elements in the most natural way. The sporty body comes in several exterior colors, including an exciting North Shore Pearl hue named after Lake Tahoe in California. The premium Charcoal color tone was inspired by an image of snowfall on mountains, and similarly, each color has a story.

What Interior and Technology Features Will the Prologue Have?

Honda was very open about its plans with the Prologue. By exploring the Honda VR Design Studios,we could learn how the designers used cutting-edge virtual reality to bring the Prologue to life. It boasts the most luxurious interior of any contemporary Honda we’ve seen in the U.S., and once it’s released, this new way of designing cars may become more prevalent. As if that weren’t enough, the Prologue also uses two screens, an 11-inch digital driver display and 11.3-inch audio and connectivity display.

Under its expansive canopy, the spacious Prologue offers more than 102.6 cubic feet of inside space, with ventilated seating and a suave two-tone gray upholstery meant to remind occupants of a rocky forest. The design crew also focused on a new standard for aerodynamics and cabin silence, with straightforward design orientation, powerful suspension, and much more. Due to the lack of engine noise, nearly any wind noise, and other sounds that might be overwhelming when you’re driving at high speeds, it’s fair to say the Prologue might become the most peaceful, premium-riding SUV on the market.

Fitting between the CR-V and Passport in size, the Prologue brings lots of space, premium materials, technology, and the peaceful ride only an EV can offer. It’s a fantastic addition to the lineup, even before we mention fast charging and efficiency.

What About Battery and Performance Ratings?

The Prologue is intended for active individuals who desire both the mobility of an SUV and the benefits of a battery-powered EV concerning zero emissions. Once it’s released, you can enjoy a powerful SUV with available all-wheel drive, all at minimal to no carbon footprint. Unfortunately, Honda hasn’t revealed anything about the powertrain just yet. It’s likely we’ll learn about these details at the same time as the release date.

Specifications and capability ratings for the 2023 Honda Prologue battery pack, such as charging times at different levels, maximum possible range, and miles-per-gallon equivalents for efficiency, aren’t available for now. We aren’t even certain if there’ll be just one or multiple battery pack powertrain options. We do know, however, that it’s powered by GM’s Ultium platform. Given the constant, exciting evolutions the platform has made, the Prologue is likely to be even more impressive than current Honda EVs.

What Safety Features Will the 2023 Prologue Have?

Honda doesn’t skimp on its safety features, and while specific details aren’t given, we can expect the Prologue to include the safety features found on Honda vehicles today, including adaptive cruise control, frontal collision warning, lane departure warning, and many other active features. It’ll probably also include or offer Super Cruise, combining GM’s OnStar security and safety services with HondaLink telematics.

What Are the Plans for the Prologue?

Honda has stated that it plans to launch 30 new EVs internationally by 2030, totaling two million units manufactured, as part of its global initiative to become carbon neutral by 2050. The Japanese automaker has also established a brisk schedule for the introduction of EVs in North America based on three phases:

• 2024: The Honda Prologue will become commercially available.
• 2026: Multiple Honda cars built on the new Honda e:Architecture will be produced.
• 2027: Honda will start manufacturing and selling a new line of reasonably priced EVs after researching and cross-referencing with GM.

By 2030, Honda aims to have sold 500,000 EVs throughout North America. The plan represents a significant partnership between GM and Honda, from the design of the Prologue to every other planned milestone.
