New Cars Test – The 2025 Honda Prologue is the only electric SUV with a design change. The Prologue is the second calendar year for the company’s new SUV, which will achieve zero-emissions sales by 2040. Honda says the 2025 Prologue will range up to 296 miles on a single charge. The Prologue’s clean appearance complements the Honda portfolio, but be aware that you are not purchasing a Honda-engineered product. The Prologue shares much of its EV gear with the Chevrolet Blazer EV. When you want something a little finer, Honda’s premium division Acura offers the ZDX, an EV SUV with a more opulent cabin and greater horsepower.
What’s New in 2025?
The 2025 Honda Prologue has various improvements, making it a widely anticipated car in Honda’s range. For starters, it is the company’s first all-electric SUV, showcasing a bold step toward Honda’s goal of achieving full electrification by 2040. The Prologue is built on General Motors’ Ultium battery platform, enabling it to deliver impressive range and performance.
In terms of design, the 2025 model features a sleek, modern look with clean lines and a more aerodynamic profile compared to its predecessors. This model also comes equipped with updated driver-assistance technology and a host of connectivity features that make it a strong contender in the electric vehicle (EV) segment.

So, when can consumers expect the 2025 Prologue to be available? Honda has not released any official details about the 2025 Prologue’s release date.

The car is a popular choice among eco-conscious drivers and car enthusiasts. The 2025 Prologue’s launch is expected to begin in late 2024 or early 2025.
2025 Honda Prologue Redesign
The Prologue’s design still sits above the CR-V in Honda’s lineup and has a design that is almost identical to the mid-size Passport. The Prologue currently has 21-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, and LED headlights. For the interior, the Prologue borrows some design cues from other Honda vehicles, such as the upright tablet-style infotainment screen, sleek dashboard, and neat center console. As rumored, Honda will provide three rows of seating, which can accommodate up to seven people. Consider the convenience of being able to bring along additional friends and family on your road trip.

During testing, we found that the Prologue’s emergency braking ability fell short of our expectations, and it lacks the stopping confidence of a Hyundai Ioniq 5 or Tesla Model Y. However, we like the Prologue’s user-friendliness in everyday circumstances. Its powerful and customizable brake regeneration allows for one-pedal driving, providing the ease of a smooth stop without the need to apply the brakes.
How is the Battery Range?
We think all 2025 Honda Prologue will come with an 85.0 kWh battery pack. The front-wheel-drive single-motor variant has an EPA-estimated range of 296 miles, while the dual-motor all-wheel-drive version sacrifices some range for quicker acceleration. The front-wheel-drive single-motor variant has an EPA-estimated range of 296 miles, while the dual-motor all-wheel-drive version sacrifices some range for quicker acceleration. The EX and Touring trims with all-wheel drive have a range of 281 miles per charge, while the top-of-the-line Elite is rated at 273 miles.
MPH Times
During our test, the Honda Prologue Elite was a dual-motor all-wheel-drive vehicle. The 288-hp variant would hit 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, while the 212-hp version would do it a little slower, in 6.7 seconds.
Fuel Efficiency
We think the most fuel-efficient Prologue trims are the front-wheel-drive EX and Touring trims, which are rated up to 107 MPGe city. On our 75-mph highway fuel efficiency route, the Elite returned 75 MPGe, short of its 84 MPGe highway rating.
2025 Honda Prologue Safety Features
To ensure driver safety, Honda always prioritizes a good level of safety and security. Currently, Honda is undoubtedly the one who has the Honda Sensing Package which contains safety features and driver assistance systems as standard features on the 2025 Prologue. Here are some of the advanced features that will be available in the 2025 Prologue, including:
- Lane-keeping assist
- Adaptive cruise control
- Blind-spot monitoring
- Automatic emergency braking
- Automatic rear cross-traffic braking
- Blind zone steering assist
- Rear pedestrian alert
2025 Honda Prologue Interior
Although the Prologue’s Chevrolet heritage is evident throughout, Honda made several adjustments to give the interior a distinctive appearance. The simple dashboard features fewer accessories than the Blazer EV. Instead, the Prologue’s layout is faintly reminiscent of previous Hondas, with a clutter-free design portrayed in subdued tones.
The Honda Prologue is substantially bigger than its rivals, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Tesla Model Y. The sense within the cabin is that there is greater passenger room, despite official internal measurements indicating otherwise. Climate and music settings include real buttons & knobs, while almost all of the other functions (including those for the headlights) are controlled by a touchscreen.
Honda Prologue Colors Options
Speaking of colors, CarsDirect said the 2025 Prologue has different colors for each trim option. The EX model has five exterior color options and two interior color options. In addition, the Touring and Elite model variants have seven exterior color options and three interior colors. Here is a summary of information about the colors available on the 2025 Honda Prologue:
