Overview
The compact 2024 Prologue SUV, Honda’s second attempt at an EV after the ill-fated Clarity sedan, appears to be on track and thoroughly competitive thanks to a joint development agreement with GM. Details are hazy but we can see from a design sketch that the Prologue promises to be handsome and it will likely sport large wheels with meaty rubber, short front and rear overhangs, and simple lighting elements. We expect the Prologue to be similar in size to the gasoline-powered CR-V but with a slightly lower-slung roofline, similar to the Mazda CX-50’s. The Prologue will ride on a platform developed jointly with General Motors; it will use versions of the same Ultium battery packs as future GM EVs, including the Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV. If the Prologue incorporates the same 100-kWh battery as the Lyriq, expect a driving range of around 300 miles per charge. Honda’s Acura luxury brand is also expected to offer a version of the Prologue, which is likely to bear the name ADX.
What’s New for 2024?
The Prologue is on track for a 2024 on-sale date, so we expect to learn more about the new model closer to its debut, which should happen in late 2023.

Honda hasn’t released information about the Prologue’s pricing or trim levels yet, but we expect the new model to start around $45,000 and go up from there. Honda’s traditional LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring trim levels are likely to make an appearance here, but we won’t know which one will represent the best value until those details are released.
