The Honda Prologue is a battery electric mid-size crossover SUV jointly developed by Honda and General Motors that is marketed in North America. Introduced in October 2022 with sales planned in 2024, it is Honda's first major electric vehicle following a number of low volume battery electric vehicles previously sold by Honda in North America, including the Honda Clarity, Honda Fit, and the experimental Honda EV Plus.[2] The Prologue is comparable in size with the ICE-powered Passport.
Overview
Styled by Honda Design Studio in Los Angeles, the Prologue is based on the Ultium architecture and the BEV3 platform developed by General Motors, which it shares with the Chevrolet Blazer EV and Cadillac Lyriq.[3][4]
Development of the Prologue was led by chief engineer John Hwang. According to Hwang, the frame rails, the floor, the front and rear suspension subframes, pedal box, steering column mounting, the base of the windshield, and firewall are shared with the Blazer EV. Honda designers and engineer are given freedom to develop its own sheetmetal, and tuned the steering calibration, springs and dampers independently from the Blazer EV.[5] The Prologue also features a new interior design despite using many switchgear from GM.[6]
Production of the Blazer EV at GM's Ramos Arizpe plant started in January 2024,[7] with initial customer deliveries expected in March.[8]
